and on some Types of Oriental Carabidae. 147 
C. littoralis Motch. (Kt. Ent. 1859, 33) and C. westwood 
Schaum (Berl. Ent. Zeit. 1863, 85); in this he was followed 
by Bates (Comp. rend. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891, 327). I find 
that C. coarctatus is a larger species than C. littoralis and 
that it differs considerably in other respects, as is quite 
clear from the description. C. westwood: appears to be 
identical with C. littoralis. 
Chlaenius javanus Chaud. As I anticipated in my 
former paper (1919, 137), this species is indistinguishable 
from C. cireumdatus Brullé. 
Chlaenius submarginatus Bates (not Chaud.) (Comp. 
rend. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891, 328). The specimens taken 
by Pére Cardon at Tetara and determined by Bates as 
belonging to this species are actually examples of C. fugax 
Chaud. (Mon. 266). 
Chlaenius frater Bates (not Chaud.) (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 
(5), xvii, 1886, 74) is a misidentification. I have therefore 
described the species further on. 
Diplochila distinguenda Laf. I recently identified this 
species (1919, 193) with D. retinens Walk. and D. rectificata 
Bates. I find, to my surprise, that the type specimen is 
identical with Hccoptogenius moestus Chaud. (Bull. Mose. 
1852, 1, 74), which must therefore take Laferté’s name. The 
species of Diplochila would take the name of D. retinens 
Walk., which is anterior to Bates’ D. rectificata, were it not 
that—as will be seen later—a yet older one exists in D. polita 
F. Bates did not apparently know the genus Eccoptogenius, 
the specimens referred by him to that genus (Ann. Soc. 
Ent. Fr. 1889, 267)—for a knowledge of which I am indebted 
to M. E. Fleutiaux—belonging to the genus Dzplochila. 
Gnathaphanus acutipennis Bates * (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 
1892, 328) = G. (Selenophorus) orientalis Dej. (Spec. Gen. 
iv, 1829, 128). 
Dicryche (Platymetopus) amoena Dej. (1919, 155). Having 
now examined the type of Dejean’s species, I find that, 
though very closely related to D. torta Macl., it is not identi- 
cal with it. Bates’ determinations of the species are, I think, 
correct. Mr. T, G. Sloane has sent me a Javan specimen, 
exactly agreeing with Macleay’s type, and I have seen 
another example in the collection of the Brussels Museum. 
Gnathaphanus ( ?Platymetopus) gnathaphanoides Bates (Ann. 
* Since the above was written, I have published a note on the 
Oriental species of this genus (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., 1920, pp. 106-11).
