and on some Types of Oriental Carabidae. 163 
It is very variable in regard to colour, being sometimes of 
a uniform light brown, sometimes almost black: the 
usual coloration is dark brown or black, with a lght 
border, a little interrupted in the middle, on the elytra. 
This is the coloration in the type, which is 5-5 mm. in 
length. The sculpture of the head and prothorax is a 
little variable, the head being often flattened in front 
and subrugose; in the type the head is convex and nearly 
smooth, while the prothorax is rather more finely punctate 
than is usual. The species occurs all over 8.H. Asia, 
including the Philippine Is. and the Malay Archipelago. 
44. Omphra (Galerita) attelaboides, p. 214. Type in 
Kiel University Museum. 
In the Banks collection in the British Museum there is 
a specimen of an American insect described by Fabricius 
(Ent. Syst. i, 1792, 132) as Galerita attelaboides, and it 
belongs to the genus in which he placed it. In Syst. 
Eleuth. the same name reappears, followed by “ Mus. 
Dom. Banks,” but the description is of a different insect. 
Schaum fell into this trap (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1847, 49), 
but was corrected by Erichson (1. c. 141), who informs us 
that the imsect in question is Omphra (Helluo) pilosa 
Klug (Jahrb. Ins. 1834, 71). I do not know Klug’s types 
in this genus, and am unable to express any opinion. I 
have not seen the Kiel specimen, and Mr. Henriksen 
informs me that he is unable to find any species of Omphra 
at Copenhagen bearing the name attelaboides F. 
45. Omphra (Galerita) hirta, p. 214. (Lund-Daldorff.) 
Type at Copenhagen. 
Redescribed by Dejean (Spec. Gen. 1, 1825, 284), and 
by Klug (Jahrb. Ins. 1834, 71); Chaudoir has also made 
some remarks on the species (Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1872, 140). 
It is curious that Fabricius himself, Klug, and Chaudoir 
all say that the colour of the pubescence is grey; Dejean 
says 1t is brown, and I find that it is in fact quite light 
brown. 
I believe the species to be confined to the South of India 
and Ceylon. There is an example in the British Museum 
labelled Burma, and two examples at Oxford are labelled 
Bengal and Penang respectively : I think these indications 
are erroneous, though the range of the species may possibly 
extend to Bengal. 
46. Siagona (Galerita) plana, p. 216. (Sehestedt-Dal- 
dorff.) Type at Copenhagen.
