Hypolithus cyaneotinctus, Bates, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1889, 
p- 269; id. Compt. Rend. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891, 
p. 331. 
Bates gives as localities Tourane, Qui-Nhon (Annam), 
and Ceylon; to these he later added Konbir and Tetara 
(Chota Nagpur). The species seems to be distributed 
throughout India, for I have seen examples from the North- 
West Provinces, Ranchi in Bengal (W. H. Irvine), and 
Mysore (7. V. Campbell). In the Brussels Museum there 
are some specimens from Barway (P. Cardon).
