  Mr.

  on 
  the 
  

  

  been 
  dealt 
  with 
  by 
  Lacordaire 
  (Gen. 
  Col. 
  i, 
  1854, 
  299), 
  

   Chaudoir 
  (Ann. 
  Mus.Civ. 
  Gen. 
  xii, 
  1878, 
  503), 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Sloane 
  

   (Proc. 
  Linn. 
  Soc. 
  N.S.W. 
  1898, 
  456) 
  ; 
  it 
  was 
  also 
  redescribed 
  

   by 
  W. 
  Macleay, 
  jun., 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Pachauchenius 
  

   (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  N.S.W. 
  i, 
  1864, 
  117). 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  was 
  figured 
  by 
  Hope 
  (Col. 
  Man. 
  ii, 
  1838, 
  t. 
  2, 
  

   f. 
  2). 
  Dejean 
  described 
  it 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  iv, 
  1829, 
  261) 
  as 
  

   Harpalus 
  subcostatus, 
  and 
  Boheman 
  (Eug. 
  Res. 
  Zool. 
  Col. 
  

   1861, 
  10) 
  as 
  Platymetopus 
  melanarius. 
  It 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  

   common 
  anywhere, 
  but 
  has 
  a 
  wide 
  range. 
  My 
  notes 
  give 
  

   the 
  following 
  locahties 
  :— 
  Ceylon, 
  Kanpa 
  (Central 
  Pro- 
  

   vinces), 
  Dacca 
  (Bengal), 
  Sylhet, 
  Burma, 
  Indo-China, 
  

   China, 
  Philippine 
  Is., 
  Java, 
  Borneo, 
  and 
  Celebes. 
  

  

  Macleay 
  thought 
  that 
  Harpalus 
  thunbergi 
  Quens. 
  

   (Schonh. 
  Syn. 
  i, 
  1806, 
  188 
  (note) 
  ) 
  belonged 
  to 
  his 
  genus 
  

   Gnathaphanus, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  actually 
  placed 
  in 
  De 
  jean's 
  genus 
  

   Platymetopus 
  . 
  

  

  19. 
  Gnathaphanus 
  (Harpalus) 
  punctilabris. 
  The 
  type 
  is 
  a 
  

   $, 
  but 
  there 
  were 
  in 
  all 
  2 
  SS 
  and 
  2 
  ?? 
  in 
  Dr. 
  Horsfield's 
  

   Collection. 
  Macleay 
  did 
  not 
  realise 
  that 
  the 
  species 
  

   actually 
  belonged 
  to 
  his 
  own 
  new 
  genus. 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  ex- 
  

   tremely 
  hkely 
  that 
  Dejean's 
  Anisodactylus 
  javanus 
  (Spec. 
  

   Gen. 
  iv, 
  1829, 
  146) 
  will 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  species. 
  

   Walker 
  subsequently 
  redescribed 
  it 
  (Ann. 
  and 
  Mag. 
  of 
  Nat. 
  

   Hist. 
  3, 
  iii, 
  1859, 
  51) 
  as 
  Harpalus 
  dispellens. 
  Bates 
  might 
  

   have 
  dispensed 
  with 
  the 
  speculations 
  he 
  indulged 
  in 
  

   regarding 
  the 
  species 
  (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  1892, 
  327) 
  by 
  

   examining 
  Macleay' 
  s 
  type. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  common, 
  and 
  widely 
  spread 
  through- 
  

   out 
  S.E. 
  Asia, 
  including 
  the 
  Philippine 
  Is. 
  and 
  the 
  Malay 
  

   Archipelago. 
  Both 
  Macleay 
  's 
  and 
  Walker's 
  descnptions 
  

   are 
  very 
  inadequate, 
  and, 
  although 
  Dejean's 
  is 
  much 
  fuller, 
  

   I 
  am 
  not 
  quite 
  sure 
  that 
  his 
  species 
  is 
  identical 
  with 
  

   Macleay's, 
  so 
  I 
  have 
  described 
  it 
  afresh.

  back- 
  

   wards 
  to 
  the
