470 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabide. 
seen two examples from Upper Assam taken by Mr. H. 
Stevens, and there are three examples in the British Museum 
labelled respectively Burma, Manipur (Doherty), and ‘Tenas- 
serim. 
Distichus sexpunctatus, Ménét. Cat. Rais. i. 1832, p. 103. 
Ménétries would probably be surprised to find how con- 
stantly this name, invented by somebody else, but attributed 
to him, has been cited as a synonym of D. planus, Bon. 
Ménétries says of his example of D. planus :—‘‘Il différe 
de la description qu’en donne le Comte Dejean, en ce que les 
jambes postérieures n’ont qu'une seule dent, et je n’ai pu 
compter que trois points imprimés sur chaque élytre.” ‘There 
is no mention of the word “ sewpunctatus.” D. planus can 
well afford to dispense with one of its numerous synonyms. 
Clivina chlorizans, Bates, Ann, Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, p. 282 
= Coryza chlorizans, Bates. 
Clivina debilis, Bates, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, p. 278. 
This name is preoccupied by C. dedilis, Blackb. Proc. Linn. 
Soc. N.S. W. 1889, p. 720. For Bates’s species I propose 
the new name C. invalida. 
Dacca, Putzeys. Postscr. ad Cliv. Mon. Mém. Liége, xviii. 
1863, p. 68= Chvina. 
The only characters given to differentiate this genus from 
Clivina are the length and acuteness of the maxille and 
mandibles and the short scutellary striole—all variable in 
this genus, and insufficient to render a separate one necessary. 
I have seen a number of examples from Bengal. 
SIAGONINI. 
Sicgona depressa, F. 
This species was described by Fabricius in 1798 (Suppl. 
Ent. Syst. p. 56) as Carabus depressus, and following the 
description are the words “ Habitat in Mauretania Dom. 
Schousboe, in India Orientali Daldorff, Mus. Dom. de Sehe- 
stedt.” In 1801 (Syst. Eleuth.i. p. 24) the species reappears 
as Galerita depressa, but ‘‘ Habitat in Mauretania Dom. 
Schousboe” has disappeared, and we have only “ Habitat in 
India Orientali— Dom. Daldorff.” 
In 1813 Bonelli (Obs. Ent. ii. p. 458) described quite 
another species as Siagona plana. Dejean in 1825 (Spec.
