20. Platynietopus flavllabris, F. 



Siifipl. Ent. Svsf, 179S, 59. 

 Widel}' distributed in the Easl. I saw the type last autumn 

 in Copenhagen, and m3' notes on this and other Fabrician species 

 will appear in the Transactions of the Entomological Society of 

 London for the current year.

21. Barysomus semivittatus, F. 



Siippl. Ent. Syst, 1798, 59- 

 Spread over Southern China, Indo-Chiua, India, and Ceylon, 

 but nowhere common. There are other examples in the Indian 

 Museum from Bengal, Orissa, and Ceylon.

Joiirn. As. Soc. Beiig. 1856, \i, 52(1. 

 Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (2), xix, 1857, 377. 



I have not had the opportunity of examining Nietner's type ; 

 examples both from India and Ceylon which I have examined 

 are darker and less aeneous than the description indicates, but 

 otherwise agree with it fairly well.

Ann. Mas. Ch. Gen. 1892, 3^,5 ; id.. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1S92, 2;,!. 

 Described by Bates from Bengal and Mandalay. I have seen 

 examples from various parts of India, but not from Ceylon.

24. Abacetus reflexus, Chaud. 



Essai monog-raphique sur le genre Abacetus, Bull. Mosc. 1869, ii, 358. 



I have seen a good many examples of this species from Cen- 

 tral India, Nagpur (E. A. D'Abreti), and Bombay, Belgaum 

 {H. E. Andrewes) and N. Kanara {T. R. D. Bell). Chaudoir's speci- 

 men came from " N. India."

Abacetus antiquus, Dej. 



Spec. Gen. iii, 1828,246; ('hand. Man., 391. 



I have seen the type of this species in Mr. Oberthiir's collec- 

 tion, but have no specimen for comparison. The examples from 

 Barkuda Island agree fairly with my notes and my recollection. 

 According to Chaudoir the species has been taken at Pondicherry, 

 in Ceylon, and in Burma.
