146°") Mrs EL. PS Notes on Synonymy 
recall any which do so. The size of Hope’s specimen 
(103 lines) does not help us much, for it is about midway 
between average examples of the two species. Hope’s re- 
mark about the curvature of the intermediate tibiae seems 
to me to apply better to squamigerum (of which I have 
before me an example compared with the type) than to imbri- 
catum, and I still think the view I took is probably correct. 
Distichus planus Bon. (Obs. Ent. ii, 1813, 470). In his 
Monographie des Scaritides (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1880, 53) 
Chaudoir says that he has an example of this species taken 
by Capt. Boys in North India. I cannot distinguish any 
differences between this example, which I examined, 
and Chaudoir’s D. puncticollis (Mon. 55), and think that 
Bonelli’s species should for the present be ruled out of 
the fauna of India, though it occurs in Baluchistan. 
Tachys politus Motch. (1919, 199). M. Severin, of the 
Brussels Museum, has been good: enough to send me for 
examination the type of 7’. bioculatus Putz., and in M. 
Oberthiir’s collection I have seen an example of 7’. ebeninus 
Nietn., labelled in Nietner’s handwriting. I cannot detect 
any material difference in these specimens, and I refer both 
of them to Motchulsky’s 7’. politus. 
Tachys mirabilis Bates (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, 294) = 
T. ovatus Motch. (Bull. Mose. 1851, iv, 509) (1919, 198). 
Siagona atrata Bates (not Dej.) (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 
1892, 284). Bates misidentified this species when deter- 
mining the Carabidae taken by Mr. Fea in Burma, and, as 
the Burmese species is a new one, I give a description of it 
at the end of this paper. The example from Senegal, 
mentioned by Dejean (Spec. Gen. v, 1831, 476) must be 
something different, but unfortunately I have not seen it. 
Siagona subtilis Bates (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, 284) = 
S. obscuripes Chaud. (Mon. 86). 
Siagona cinctella Bates (not Chaud.) (Ann. Mus, Ciy. 
Gen. 1892, 285). Here Bates misidentified another of 
Mr. Fea’s Burmese species, a description of which will be 
found at the end. 
Callistomimus coarectatus Laf.* (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1851, 
230). Chaudoir, when describing the genus Callistomimus 
(Bull. Mosc. 1872, ii, 382), identified this species with 
* Since the above was written, a note of mine on all the Oriental 
species of Callistomimus has appeared (P.Z.S8., June 1921), in which 
both coarctatus and littoralis are referred to, and also figured in the 
plate.
