Ors. In Bn. Dejean’s catalogue we find a manuscript-name “‘ longicollis” assigued without any 
description by Megerle to an Indian Drypta. As I conceive this entomologist may only have 
obtained a knowledge of such Indian insects as were collected by M. Fichtel, | account his 
D. longicollis, although the name will equally apply to the above Javanese insect, to be a native 
of the Continent. Drypta longicollis differs in that case from D. unidentata, in being atro- 
cyaneous with yellow femora, in having truncated but not dentated elytra, and in having the 
fourth joint of the antenne altogether rufous. Drypta flavipes of Wiedemann, a Bengal insect, 
seems to be still another distinct species. 
Subgenus APTINUS Bon.

Oxs. Bonelli has separated the genus Brachinus from Aptinus, on no other account than that 
the latter is apterous. If, however, we reckon B. sclopeta Fab. to be the type of one genus, and 
B. hallista, Ul. of the other, the insect above described, although winged, will come nearer to 
the latter than tu the former. The fact is, that 4ptinus has not yet been properly separated 
from Brachinus. 
M. Dejean appears to be acquainted with other Javanese species of the genus than the one 
mentioned above.
