168 Mr. H. KE. Andrewes’ Noles on Synonymy 
The species ranges from Bengal, through Burma and 
Siam, to Indo-China, but there are in the Indian Museum 
two specimens taken by Dr. N. Annandale at Tenmalai, 
Western Ghats, so that it is probably more widely spread 
in India than existing records indicate. 
13. Oxygnathus (Scarites) elongatus, p- 38. Bengal. 
Redeseribed by Dejean (Spec. Gen. 1, 1826, 474), and by 
Brullé (Hist. Nat. des Ins. v, 1835, 67). 
See also Putzeys (Postscer. ad Cliv. Mon., Mém. Liége, 
xvii, 1863, 5, t. 1, f. 1). The type measures 12 mm. in 
length, and thes specimen I took to Copenhagen for compari- 
son measures only 8 mm. They appeared to me to belong 
to the same species, and I find that I have in my collection 
an example measuring 10°5 mm. _ I conclude that it varies 
a good deal in size. The only specimens I have seen, other 
than the type, were taken by the late Mr. G. Q. Corbett in 
various localities in Burma, where also it was taken by 
Mr. Fea (see Bates, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, 274). 
14. Searites punctum, p. 38. Bengal (1919, 162). 
Chaudoir could make nothing of this species (Mon. des 
Searitides, 1880, 127). I recently expressed the opinion 
that it would probably prove to be identical with Chaudoir’s 
Distichus puncticollis, but this was not a good guess, for it 
turns out to be Chaudoir’s Scarites opacus (1. ¢. 103). Con- 
fined to North India and not apparently a common species. 
I take this opportunity of correcting an inadvertence in 
my former paper. I said, referring to Macleay’s citation 
of Wiedemann’s S. punctum,” “which comes from Bengal and 
not Senegal as indicated.” I had at the time only Lequien’s 
French translation of the Annulosa Javanica, in which 
“Senegal” is substituted for “ Bengal”; in the original 
English edition, which I now have, the locality is quite 
correctly given. 
15. Macrochilus (Helluo) impictus, p. 49. Bengal. 
Redescribed by Dejean (Spec. Gen. 1, 1825, 287) on a 
specimen sent to him by Westermann and alleged to come 
from Java. I have seen examples from various Indian 
localities, rarely more than one at a time, but none from 
Java, which I consider in all probability a mistake for 
Bengal. See also Andrewes (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (9) vi 
1920, pp. 497 and 503). 
16. Creagris (Helluo) distacta, p. 49. Java (1919, 169). 
I knew that this species belonged to the genus Creagris, 
for some little time ago Dr. Lundbeck had, at my request,
