216 Mr. H. E. Andrewes' Notes on the 



2. Panagaeus sumatranus Dohrn (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1891, 

 253). After describing this species, which came from 

 Sumatra, Dohrn seems to have come to the conclusion 

 (p. 254) that it was identical with Microcosmus fiavopUosus 

 Laf. This is not the case, indeed it does not belong to 

 the genus Microcosmus at all, but to the genus Dischissus. 

 I have compared it with the example of D. notulatus F. 

 (Syst. Eleuth. i, 1801, 201; Andr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 

 1921, 162), which Mr. Henriksen was kind enough to 

 compare at Copenhagen with Fabricius' type, and can 

 detect no material differences. The last joint of the palpi 

 is not much dilated, and I conclude therefore that Dohrn's 

 type is a $. 



There is another example from Sumatra in the British 

 Museum, taken at Lampong, and also specimens (not 

 quite agreeing with the type) from Hongkong and Shanghai. 

 Most of the examples I have seen came either from N.E. 

 India, or Burma. The type of D. longicornis Schaum 

 (Berl. Ent. Zeitschr. 1863, 81), which is apparently the 

 same species, came from the Nilgiri Hills. 



3. Orthogonius eollaris Dohrn (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1891, 

 253; Andr., Trans. Ent. Soc. 1921, 149). This species is 

 confined, so far as is known at present, to Borneo. In 

 my note, quoted above, I identified Dohrn's species with 

 0. doriae Putz. (Chaudoir's Essai monographique sur les 

 Orthogoniens, 104 (note)). This proves to be correct, but 

 the type of eollaris is evidently a rather undeveloped speci- 

 men, the elytra being of a light brown colour, whereas 

 there are normally very dark stripes along the suture, 

 striae 2 and 7, and intervals 4, 6, and 9. The examples 

 which I have seen came from Pontianak, Kuching (J. E. A. 

 Lewis), Quop in West Sarawak {G. E. Bn/ant), and Moorjawa, 

 Sanga Sanga (//. D. Jensen). 



4. Galerita peregrina Dohrn (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1880, 291 ; 

 Andr., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (9), iii, 1919, 480). The 

 type came from Hongkong, and j udging by the description, 

 I identified with it G. birmaniea Bates (Ann. Mus. Civ. 

 Gen. 1892, 385). This latter species was taken by Mr. 

 L. Fea at Bhamo, and has also quite recently been taken 

 by Mr. R. Vitalis de Salvaza in Tonkin and Annam : I 

 have been able to compare with Dohrn's type examples 

 from these localities. In length there seems to be no 

 difference, but the specimens from Burma and Indo- 

 China are a little wider, and the costae on the elytra a
