248 APATETICA SIAMENSIS, 
NOTE XXXII. 
ON A NEW SPECIES OF APATETICA (STAPHYLINID#) 
BY 
G. LEWIS, F.L.S. 
Last year Dr. Sharp described a species of Trygawus in 
the »Notes from the Leyden Museum’ and made some 
observations on the probable geographical distribution of 
the genus, and as I have just obtained another species 
from Siam, which also requires description, it seems to 
me appropriate to bring it to notice through the same 
medium. Although this is the third species only at present 
described, I believe Mr. Fry has more than one species 
in a collection which is part of the material lately ga- 
thered in the Oriental region by Mr. W. Doherty. When 
I was in Japan I found Prygeus princeps Sh. in April 
and May by sifting out masses of damp leaves which had 
accumulated in the forests or been swept together by the 
caretakers of temple grounds, and sometimes amongst 
marsh-refuse. But later in the summer single examples 
were often obtained by beating foliage, and it is perhaps 
by this latter method that the few specimens brought 
home by travellers have been taken.
