176 Mr, H. EK. Andrewes’ Noles on Synonymy 
those at Oxford), [ am unable to comment on the other 
species. 
13. Clivina trapezicollis Bates (p. 263). Bates recognised 
in a subsequent note that this species belonged to Putzey’ s 
genus Psilus. M. Severin, of the Brussels Museum, has 
recently been good enough to send me the type of P. 
acultipalpis Putz. An examination of these two species 
leads me to the belief spe sie s Ardistomis paradoxus 
(Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xi, 1868, 21), which he placed with 
great hesitation in this aaa genus, actually belongs 
to the genus Psilus, and may indeed be identical with Bates’ 
species. 
27. Chlaenius javanus Chaud. (p. 265) = C. circumdatus 
Brullé. I agree with Bates in regarding C. xanthopleurus 
Chaud., as a variety, or rather local race, ‘spread throughout 
Indo-China, Siam, and Southern China; this form is found 
as far north as Korea (Coll. H. de Touzalin). 
28. Chiaenius einetus F. (p. 266). I gave some notes on 
this species in a former paper (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1919, 
122), but did not there mention this reference of Bates. The 
Indo-Chinese species is not C. cinctus F., nor is it identical 
with the Indian C. pulcher Nietn. (= C. cinctus Chaud., not 
F.). In addition to the single example in the de Ja Perrau- 
diére collection, I have before me others taken in Annam, 
Tonkin, and Laos by Mr. R. Vitalis de Salvaza, and I 
describe them at the end under the name of Chlaenius pulcher 
Nietn. race asper nov. I have given a detailed description, 
as Nietner’s is short, and Chaudoir confines himself to 
comparing the species with an African one. 
32. Simous aeneus Laf. (p. 266). I have before me 
examples of Laferté’s species from Java, and of S. lucidus 
Chaud. from Laos, compared with the respective types. 
In spite of the dark cupreous tinge of Bates’ specimen, 
I have no hesitation in identifying it with S. lucidus and 
not S. aeneus. 
35. Eecoptogenius moestus Chaud. (p. 267). As already 
mentioned, Bates evidently did not know this genus, 
which differs from Diplochila (Rhembus) in having the first 
antennal joint strongly clavate; this is not the case here. 
I doubt whether Lccoptogenius can be retained as a separate 
genus. 
In addition to the single example in this collection, 
I have seen others taken by Mr. R. Vitalis de Salvaza in 
Laos and Cambodia. The species agrees closely with the
