  (I.e. 
  209) 
  was 
  said 
  to 
  come 
  from 
  Java. 
  In 
  the 
  Monograph 
  

   (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  1876, 
  62) 
  he 
  tells 
  us 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  two 
  

   examples 
  of 
  C. 
  bihamatus 
  from 
  Java 
  and 
  one 
  from 
  Hong- 
  

   Kong, 
  while 
  C. 
  hamifer 
  now 
  inhabits 
  " 
  toute 
  la 
  presqu'ile 
  

   Cisgangetique." 
  It 
  is 
  evident 
  to 
  me 
  that 
  in 
  1856 
  he 
  trans- 
  

   posed 
  the 
  localities, 
  but 
  no 
  word 
  of 
  this 
  appears 
  in 
  the 
  

   Monograph, 
  where 
  the 
  necessary 
  rectification 
  is 
  made. 
  

  

  7. 
  Chlaenius 
  flaviguttatus 
  = 
  C. 
  binotatus 
  Dej. 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  

   ii, 
  1826, 
  302). 
  The 
  species 
  has 
  hitherto 
  been 
  known 
  under 
  

   the 
  latter 
  name, 
  for 
  which 
  Macleay's 
  must 
  be 
  substituted. 
  

   Chaudoir 
  (Bull. 
  Mosc. 
  1856, 
  iii, 
  200) 
  redescribed 
  the 
  species 
  

   as 
  C. 
  punctatus, 
  a 
  name 
  which 
  Gemminger 
  and 
  Harold 
  

   changed 
  to 
  puncticeps 
  (Mun. 
  Cat. 
  1868, 
  224). 
  Castehiau 
  

   (Notes 
  on 
  AustraUan 
  Coleoptera, 
  1867, 
  62) 
  again 
  described 
  

   it 
  as 
  C. 
  maculifer. 
  A 
  form 
  from 
  the 
  Philippine 
  Islands, 
  in 
  

   which 
  the 
  spots 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  much 
  reduced, 
  

   broken 
  up 
  into 
  several 
  small 
  ones, 
  or 
  wanting 
  altogether 
  

   was 
  described 
  by 
  Eschscholtz 
  (Zool. 
  Atl. 
  v, 
  1833, 
  26, 
  t. 
  25, 
  

   f. 
  8) 
  as 
  C. 
  guttatus. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  is 
  recorded 
  from 
  Java, 
  Sumatra, 
  and 
  the 
  

   Eastern 
  Coast 
  of 
  Australia; 
  the 
  form 
  guttatus 
  from 
  the 
  

   Phihppine 
  Is., 
  New 
  Caledonia, 
  and 
  New 
  Guinea. 
  

  

  8. 
  Catascopus 
  elegans 
  = 
  C. 
  facialis 
  Wied. 
  (Zool. 
  Mag. 
  i, 
  

   3, 
  1819, 
  165). 
  Macleay 
  supposed 
  his 
  species 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  

   as 
  Catascopus 
  {Carabus) 
  elegans 
  Fab. 
  (Syst. 
  Eleuth, 
  i, 
  1801, 
  

   184) 
  = 
  Catascopus 
  (Elaphrus) 
  elegans 
  Weber 
  (Obs. 
  Ent. 
  

   1801, 
  45), 
  but 
  he 
  was 
  mistaken. 
  Wiedemann's 
  C. 
  facialis 
  

   came 
  from 
  Bengal, 
  and 
  Dejean 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  i, 
  1825, 
  329) 
  

   redescribed 
  it, 
  also 
  from 
  a 
  Bengal 
  specimen 
  {teste 
  Chaudoir, 
  

   Bull. 
  Mosc. 
  1850, 
  ii, 
  352) 
  sent 
  to 
  him 
  by 
  Westermann 
  ; 
  later 
  

   on 
  (I.e. 
  V, 
  1831, 
  452) 
  he 
  referred 
  a 
  Javanese 
  specimen 
  to 
  the 
  

   same 
  species. 
  After 
  examining 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  specimens 
  

   from 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  East, 
  I 
  have 
  come 
  to 
  the 
  conclusion 
  

   that 
  C. 
  facialis 
  Wied., 
  C. 
  elegans 
  Macl., 
  C. 
  angulatus 
  Chaud. 
  

   (Berl. 
  Ent. 
  Zeit. 
  1861, 
  117), 
  and 
  C. 
  oxygonus 
  Chaud. 
  (I.e. 
  117) 
  

   are 
  all 
  the 
  same 
  species. 
  The 
  colour 
  is 
  variable, 
  blue 
  pre- 
  

   dominating 
  in 
  India 
  and 
  a 
  brassy 
  tint 
  in 
  the 
  Malay 
  region 
  ; 
  

   as 
  a 
  rule 
  the 
  prothorax 
  has 
  sharper 
  hind 
  angles, 
  projecting 
  

   a 
  httle 
  laterally, 
  in 
  examples 
  with 
  a 
  brassy 
  colour, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  

   no 
  question 
  of 
  a 
  local 
  race, 
  as 
  there 
  is 
  little 
  constancy 
  in 
  

   either 
  of 
  these 
  characters. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  common 
  

   throughout 
  S.E. 
  Asia 
  and 
  the 
  Malay 
  Archipelago. 
  

  

  9. 
  Pericallus 
  (Catascopus) 
  quadrimaculatus. 
  Macleay 
  recog- 
  

   nised 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  differed 
  in 
  several 
  respects 
  from
