and on some Types of Oriental Carabidae. 173 
founded upon it the genus Promecoptera (Spec. Gen. v, 1831, 
444) and redescribed the species in some detail. I have 
seen both the types, but no other examples. 
31. Drypta flavipes, p. 60. Bengal (1919, 170). 
Redescribed by Dejean (Spec. Gen. ii, 1826, 442), and 
later by Chaudoir (Bull. Mose. 1850, i, 33; id. ibid. 1861, 
ii, 548) as D. pallipes. I compared with Wiedemann’s type 
a specimen already compared with Chaudoit’s. 
Common in North India, but not apparently occurring 
elsewhere. 
Schmidt-Goebel (Faun. Col. Birm. 1846, 24) doubtfully 
identified Wiedemann’s species with an insect from Bengal, 
which, owing to its pectinate claws, he put into his genus 
Dendrocellus. This is evidently quite another species, 
which I have not as yet been abie to identify *; Chaudoir 
renamed it D. rugicollis (Bull. Mosc. 1861, 11, 546). 
32. Drypta aeneipes, p. 60. Bengal. 
No comment has appeared on this species, but Wiede- 
mann’s description is fairly good. Having the type before 
me, I took the opportunity of comparing it with an example 
of D. lineola Macl. D. aeneipes is a little smaller (8°0 mm.) ; 
the head, prothorax, and a fairly large discal patch on the 
elytra red, with a faint purple reflection, rest of elytra blue- 
green, legs aeneous, except base of femora. Head more con- 
vex, less punctate, genae longer, neck more constricted ; 
prothorax more shiny, a little shorter, less punctate, 
relatively wider in front and a little more compressed 
behind; elytra much more finely striate, puncturation of 
intervals finer and more distinct, outer extremity of 
truncature hardly dentate, but forming a sharp angle. 
- Bates’ D. fimbriata (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, 384) from 
Burma is only a slight variety. 
Since my return I have come across two specimens in 
the British Museum, which I had identified rather doubt- 
fully with Wiedemann’s species some little time ago and 
subsequently overlooked. One of them I sent to Copen- 
hagen, and Mr. Henriksen tells me that, though the 
prothorax is a little narrower, it agrees very well with the 
type. 
33. Tetragonoderus (Bembidium) dilatatus, p. 61. Bengal. 
* Since the above was written, I have, thanks to Dr. Jan 
Obenberger of Prague, seen Schmidt-Gcebel’s type. I consider 
his species to be a colour variety only of Desera geniculata Klug.
