  Mr. 
  H. 
  E. 
  Andrewes 
  on 
  the 
  

  

  1838, 
  166, 
  t. 
  1, 
  f. 
  5). 
  As 
  I 
  shall 
  discuss 
  this 
  species 
  under 
  

   the 
  heading 
  Hope, 
  I 
  will 
  refer 
  readers 
  to 
  my 
  remarks 
  

   there, 
  and 
  also 
  to 
  some 
  remarks 
  under 
  Fabricius 
  {Phero- 
  

   psophus 
  tripustulatus). 
  OUvier's 
  name 
  being 
  much 
  older 
  

   than 
  Hope's 
  must, 
  of 
  course, 
  replace 
  the 
  latter. 
  

  

  Chaudoir 
  has 
  also 
  described 
  an 
  Indian 
  species 
  under 
  

   the 
  name 
  of 
  Macrochilus 
  {Acanthogenius) 
  trimaculatus 
  

   (Rev. 
  et 
  Mag. 
  Zool. 
  1872, 
  171), 
  and 
  for 
  this 
  I 
  propose 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  M. 
  chaudoiri.

  There 
  are 
  three 
  of 
  Kirby's 
  types 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  

   and 
  the 
  descriptions 
  of 
  all 
  of 
  them 
  appeared 
  in 
  the 
  trans- 
  

   actions 
  of 
  the 
  Linnaean 
  Society. 
  

  

  1. 
  Calosoma 
  chinense 
  (Trans. 
  Linn. 
  Soc. 
  xii, 
  1818, 
  379). 
  

   Redescribed 
  by 
  Dejean 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  v, 
  1831, 
  563), 
  and 
  

   referred 
  to 
  by 
  various 
  authors. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  a 
  well- 
  

   known 
  one 
  and 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  common 
  in 
  China. 
  Bates 
  

   records 
  it 
  from 
  Japan 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  1883, 
  232), 
  and 
  

   also 
  informs 
  us 
  (Entom. 
  xxiii, 
  1890, 
  212) 
  that 
  it 
  occurs 
  as 
  

   far 
  North 
  as 
  the 
  River 
  Amur.

  C.

   (Bull. 
  Mosc. 
  1859,

  from 
  the 
  Anmr 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  

   same 
  species. 
  

  

  2. 
  Catascopus 
  hardwicki 
  (Trans. 
  Linn. 
  Soc. 
  xiv, 
  1825, 
  

   98, 
  t. 
  3, 
  f. 
  1). 
  The 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  which 
  is 
  also 
  the 
  

   genotype, 
  came 
  from 
  " 
  India," 
  and 
  the 
  only 
  other 
  example 
  

   I 
  have 
  seen, 
  which 
  bears 
  no 
  locahty-label, 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Hope 
  

   Collection, 
  at 
  Oxford. 
  The 
  locality 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  type 
  

   came 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  mysterious. 
  Kirby 
  says 
  : 
  " 
  The 
  indi\ddual 
  

   specimen 
  here 
  described 
  being 
  transfixed 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  

   pecuhar 
  pin 
  which 
  Major-Gen. 
  Hard 
  wi 
  eke 
  used 
  for 
  all 
  the 
  

   small 
  insects 
  that 
  he 
  collected 
  in 
  India 
  (many 
  of 
  which 
  

   he 
  gave 
  to 
  the 
  late 
  Mr. 
  Marsham, 
  at 
  whose 
  sale 
  I 
  purchased 
  

   it), 
  I 
  think 
  I 
  am 
  warranted 
  in 
  my 
  conjecture 
  that 
  this 
  was 
  

   one 
  of 
  them," 
  We 
  know 
  that 
  Hope 
  described 
  a 
  number 
  

   of 
  Carabidae 
  taken 
  by 
  Gen. 
  Hardwicke 
  in 
  Nepal, 
  and 
  there 
  

   is 
  some 
  probability, 
  therefore, 
  that 
  Kirby's 
  specimen 
  came 
  

   from 
  the 
  same 
  locality. 
  

  

  It 
  was 
  assumed 
  by 
  Dejean 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  i, 
  1825, 
  329) 
  and 
  

   by 
  Schmidt-Goebel 
  (Faun. 
  Col. 
  Birm.. 
  1846, 
  81) 
  that 
  

   Kirby's 
  species 
  was 
  identical 
  with 
  Wiedemann's 
  C. 
  {Car- 
  

   abus) 
  facialis 
  (Zool. 
  Mag. 
  i, 
  3, 
  1819, 
  165), 
  which 
  is 
  far 
  

   from 
  being 
  the 
  case.
