and on some Types of Oriental Carabidae. 149 
Civ. Gen. 1892, 388) proves to be another misidentification, 
and I therefore give a description of Bates’ species at the 
end. 
Pheropsophus marginalis Dej. (Spec. Gen. i, 1825, 
310). This species was said to come from the “ Indes 
Orientales,’ and a second specimen beside it in M. 
Oberthiir’s collection, which I look upon as identical, 
bears the label “ Pondichery.” It is difficult to understand 
how Chaudoir, with Dejean’s type before him, came to 
identify with it a larger and very variable species from 
Indo-China, which he describes in his Monograph (p. 34), 
but which to my eyes is altogether different. I think that 
P. curtus Arrow (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1901, 204, t. 9, f. 3) 
is identical with marginalis Dej., but the examples of this 
species from Malabar have a black prothorax, and no 
yellow margin to the elytra. Cotypes of this species from 
Kanara, however, in my collection have a yellow stripe on 
each side of the prothorax, and the elytra have a yellow 
border from the fascia to the apex. I think Chaudoitr’s 
species should bear the name of P. nebulosus Chaud. 
(Mon. 27), proposed by its author for what he considered ~ 
a variety of his (not Dejean’s) P. marginalis. 
Brachynus timoriensis Jord. (Noy. Zool. i, 1894, 105) 
belongs to the genus Styphlomerus. It hardly differs from 
S. bicolor Boh. (Eugenies Resa Ins. iv, Col. 1861, 3), but the 
head is rather wider and also darker in colour. 
Orthogonius parallelus Bates (not Chaud.) (Ann. Mag, | 
Nat. Hist. (5), xvi, 1886, 201) = O. acutangulus Chaud. 
(Bull. Mose, 1878, i, 5). 
Orthogonius collaris Dohrn (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1891, 253) = 
O. doriae Putz. (Chaudoir’s Mon. 104 [note]). I have seen 
Putzey’s type, but identify Dohrn’s species from his 
description. 
Catascopus costulatus Chaud. (Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1862, 
489). Quite recently (1919, 182) I identified this species 
with C. presidens Thoms., and C. splendidus Saund. I have 
now seen all the types and also that of C. aeneus Saund. 
(Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1863, 467, t. 17, f. 2). I find 
that C. presidens = C. splendidus, and that C. costulatus 
= C. aeneus ; C. presidens, in addition to its purple patches, 
has the elytral carinae more strongly developed than C. 
costulatus, but the species are exceedingly closely allied. 
Cataseopus reductus Chaud. (not Walk.) (Berl. Ent. Zeit. 
1861, 117) = C. cingalensis Bates (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.
