172 Mr. H. E. Andrewes’ Noles on Synonymy 
See Fabricius No. 34. Stenolophus smaragdulus. The 
type of this extremely common insect has the usual five 
testaceous spots on the elytra. It was redescribed by 
Dejean (Spec. Gen. iv, 1829, 414), and references to it are 
numerous. It occurs throughout the Hast. 
27. Abacetus (Badister) rubidicollis, p. 58. Bengal. 
I had no suspicion that this species, upon which no other 
author seems to have made any comment, would prove 
to belong to the genus Abacelus, and I had therefore no 
specimen ready for comparison. I had no doubt, however, 
of its identity with A. quadrimaculatus Chaud. (Hssai 
monographique sur le genre Abacetus, Bull. Mose. 1869, 
ii, 380), and have since sent to Copenhagen for comparison 
an example of Chaudoir’s species already compared with 
his type. Mr. Henriksen tells me that the two specimens 
agree exactly. 
The only precise locality I know for this species is Dacca 
(British Museum). 
28. Hexagonia (Lebia) longithorax, p. 58. Bengal. 
The example of this genus, which I had doubtfully 
identified with Wiedemann’s species, proved to be something 
quite different. From notes which I made, and subsequent 
re-examination of a specimen already compared with the 
type of Chaudoir’s Hexagonia brunnea (Bull Mose, 1861, 
u, 531), I came to the conclusion that the two species were 
the same. I sent the specimen to Copenhagen, where Mr. 
Henriksen compared it with Wiedemann’s type, finding it 
to agree exactly. This identity was evidently suspected 
by Schaum (Berl. Ent. Zeit. 1863, 433). 
The only exact locality I know is Dehra Dun (Forest 
Research Institute). 
29. Anchista (Lebia) brunnea, p. 59. Bengal. 
Another species upon which, so far as I know, no other 
entomologist has commented. I suspected its identity 
with Chaudoir’s Anchista picea (Bull. Mosc. 1877, ii, 238), 
of which I took with me an example already compared with 
the type. I found the two specimens to correspond 
perfectly, so that Wiedemann’s name, as the older, must 
replace Chaudoir’s. 
Chaudoir’s insect came from Dacca, and I have others 
from Pusa and Nagpur. 
30. Promecoptera (Lebia) marginalis, p. 60. Bengal 
(1919, 165). 
A specimen was sent by Westermann to Dejean, who
