recurved ; scutellum with the basal and apical spines well

Hab. Gold Coast ; N. Territory (W. Swire). 
Somewhat allied to P. guttatipennis, Stal, but. easily 
distinguished by the uniform and distinct coloration of the 
legs and the tuberculate anterior area of the pronotum &e. 
CORRECTION. 
By a curious though careless error in the title of my 
previous paper in the Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (ante, p. 218) 
for ‘‘Heteropterous Family” Pyrrhocoride I wrote “ Homo- 
pterous Family,” and, more strangely also, did not observe the 
error in “ proof.”

By H. E. ANDREWES. 
In constructing a Catalogue of Oriental Carabide I have 
come across a number of questions requiring further elucida- 
tion, among which I may mention cases of erroneous identi- 
fication, synonymy both of genera and species, attribution of 
species to wrong genera, etc. I propose in this paper to give 
some notes and a few new descriptions to clear these points up.

Tchitcherin’s species may prove, when more material is 
available, to be only a local form of O. costatus.
