  Mr. 
  H. 
  E. 
  Aiidrewes 
  on 
  (he 
  

  

  unfortunately 
  the 
  important 
  mouth-parts 
  are 
  often 
  ob- 
  

   scured 
  by 
  dirt 
  or 
  gum, 
  and 
  antennae, 
  palpi, 
  tarsi, 
  etc., 
  are 
  

   not 
  infrequently 
  wanting. 
  I 
  have 
  tried 
  to 
  give 
  fairly 
  full 
  

   references, 
  and 
  always 
  quote 
  the 
  page 
  of 
  the 
  works 
  referred 
  

   to 
  : 
  I 
  mention 
  this 
  because 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  older 
  writers 
  gave 
  

   numbers 
  to 
  their 
  species, 
  and 
  quoted 
  these 
  numbers 
  instead 
  

   of 
  the 
  pages. 
  In 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  each 
  species 
  I 
  give 
  the 
  modern 
  

   genus, 
  followed 
  where 
  necessary 
  by 
  the 
  original 
  genus 
  in 
  a 
  

   parenthesis. 
  

  

  I 
  must 
  express 
  my 
  thanks 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Gahan 
  for 
  the 
  courtesy 
  

   extended 
  to 
  me 
  in 
  the 
  Entomological 
  Department 
  at 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum, 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Marshall 
  for 
  much 
  valued 
  help 
  

   on 
  nomenclature 
  and 
  many 
  other 
  matters, 
  to 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  H. 
  

   Durrant 
  and 
  Mr. 
  C, 
  Davies 
  Sherborn 
  for 
  assistance 
  with 
  

   ancient 
  entomological 
  literature 
  and 
  handwriting, 
  and 
  last 
  

   but 
  not 
  least 
  to 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  J. 
  Arrow, 
  who 
  has 
  been 
  unremitting 
  

   in 
  aiding 
  me 
  to 
  solve 
  the 
  various 
  problems 
  encountered 
  in 
  

   dealiiiig 
  with 
  the 
  older 
  types. 
  My 
  grateful 
  thanks 
  are 
  also 
  

   due 
  to 
  my 
  old 
  friend 
  Prof. 
  E. 
  B. 
  Poulton, 
  who 
  has 
  been 
  

   kind 
  enough 
  not 
  only 
  to 
  afford 
  me 
  access 
  to 
  the 
  collections 
  

   in 
  the 
  Hope 
  Department 
  of 
  the 
  Oxford 
  University 
  Museum, 
  

   but 
  also 
  to 
  bring 
  types 
  up 
  to 
  London 
  so 
  that 
  I 
  might 
  examine 
  

   them 
  at 
  leisure 
  and 
  compare 
  them 
  with 
  other 
  material.

  Linnaeus. 
  

  

  Pheropsophus 
  (Carabus) 
  bimaculatus 
  (Mant. 
  Ins. 
  1771, 
  

   532). 
  The 
  type 
  of 
  this, 
  the 
  only 
  Oriental 
  species 
  among 
  

   the 
  Carabidae 
  described 
  by 
  Linnaeus 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  

   of 
  the 
  Linnaean 
  Society, 
  where, 
  through 
  the 
  courtesy 
  of 
  

   Dr. 
  Daydon 
  Jackson, 
  I 
  was 
  enabled 
  to 
  see 
  it. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  

   well-known 
  species, 
  calling 
  for 
  no 
  special 
  comment. 
  I 
  

   believe 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  southern 
  half 
  of 
  India, 
  

   with 
  Cevlon. 
  A 
  single 
  specimen 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  

   is 
  labelled 
  "Nepal," 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Lesne 
  (Miss. 
  Pavie 
  1904, 
  

   Col. 
  79) 
  records 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  Laos 
  : 
  in 
  each 
  case, 
  

   however, 
  further 
  evidence 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  required. 
  

  

  Fabricius. 
  

  

  Fabricius 
  in 
  his 
  various 
  works 
  published 
  descriptions 
  of 
  

   insects 
  in 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  different 
  collections, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  

   types 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  are 
  widely 
  spread. 
  Among 
  

   the 
  more 
  important 
  collections 
  I 
  may 
  mention 
  those 
  of
