It is this species which was observed by Sir S. Raffles to “ feed 
on dead animal matter.” 
Mr. Hope has a specimen of this genus, which differs only from 
Sir S. Raffles’ individual in being slightly larger, in being rather 
paler in colour, and in the strize of the elytra not being quite so 
regularly or so deeply punctured; received with the erroneous 
name Euparia castanea, No. 83.
