8 Mr. H. W. Bates on Coleoptera 



very sharply incised and straight, with broad intervals, and the 

 tumid centre of the epistome is grooved equally sharply, but finer 

 and in a transverse direction. 



Carabus boysii, Tatum. 



Family CAEABID^. 



Calosoma sericeum, Fahr. 



Smaller than European examples (18 millim.). The species 

 is spread over all Northern Asia, Turkistan, and North-western 

 India, the local varieties in many cases having been described as 

 distinct species. A synonymy is given by Solsky in Fedchenko's 

 ' Turkestan,' Coleop. i. 



Calosoma scabripenne, Chaudoir. 

 A species, as far as at present known, peculiar to Northern 

 India. 



ScARiTES sulcatus, OUvler. Chaudoir, Monogr. des Scaritides 



(1880), p. 80. 

 India ; also found in Eastern China, Formosa, and Java. 



ScARiTES BENGALENSis, Dejean. Chaudoir, Monogr. des Scaritides 



(1880), p. 89. 



North India and Goorais Valley, where Mr. Leech met with it. 

 Also found on the Yang-tsze-Kiang. 



ScARiTES INDUS, OUviev. Chaudoir, Monogr. des Scar. p. 102. 

 Found throughout India, from the N.W. to Madras. 



ScARiTES oPACus, Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. 1855, i. 88 ; id. Monogr. 

 des Scar. p. 103. 

 North India and Bengal. 



Chljenius vulneratus, Dej., Sp. Gen. v. 624 ; Chaudoir, Monogr. 

 des Chleniens, No. 35. 

 North India and Bengal. 



Chl^nius agilis, Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. 1856, ii. 246 ; id. Monogr. 

 des Chleniens, No. 250. 



CHLiENius L.ETIUSCULUS, Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc, 1856, ii. 248 : id. 

 Monogr. des Chleniens, No. 368. 

 Eecorded by Chaudoir from North India and Ceylon. Taken 

 also by Mr. Leech in the Goorais Valley, and by Stolicska at Ladak. 

 Some of the examples agree almost exactly with C. agilis, a 

 Syrian species, and I doubt whether the species can be main- 

 tained as distinct.
