  on 
  the 
  

  

  trochanter) 
  with 
  only 
  a 
  small 
  tooth 
  on 
  inner 
  margin 
  near 
  apex; 
  

   front 
  tibiae 
  sulcate, 
  strongly 
  digitate, 
  but 
  without 
  any 
  smaller 
  teeth, 
  

   though 
  the 
  margin 
  is 
  a 
  Uttle 
  dilated 
  behind 
  the 
  digitation, 
  inter- 
  

   mediate 
  tibiae 
  with 
  a 
  strong 
  spine, 
  at 
  about 
  one-third 
  from 
  apex. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  compared 
  the 
  type 
  with 
  an 
  example 
  from 
  Ceylon, 
  

   determined 
  by 
  Bates 
  as 
  C. 
  elongatula 
  Nietn. 
  (Joum. 
  As. 
  

   Soc. 
  Beng. 
  1856, 
  v, 
  390). 
  

  

  Macleay's 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  similar, 
  but 
  lighter 
  in 
  colour, 
  

   the 
  whole 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  much 
  smoother, 
  joint 
  2 
  

   of 
  the 
  antennae 
  wider 
  and 
  longer, 
  thorax 
  less 
  parallel, 
  

   puncturation 
  similar, 
  but 
  no 
  transverse 
  striation, 
  elytra 
  

   shorter. 
  

  

  31. 
  Scarites 
  semicircularis. 
  Chaudoir 
  was 
  unable 
  to 
  

   identify 
  Macleay's 
  species 
  (Mon. 
  des 
  ►Scaritides, 
  Ann. 
  Soc. 
  

   Ent. 
  Belg. 
  xxiii, 
  1880, 
  127), 
  but 
  I 
  feel 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  his 
  

   own 
  S. 
  subprodudus 
  (Mon. 
  90) 
  from 
  Siam 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  species. 
  

   I 
  have 
  seen 
  no 
  other 
  specimen 
  from 
  Java, 
  but 
  Mr. 
  Lesne 
  

   (Miss. 
  Pavie 
  1904, 
  Col. 
  63) 
  records 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  

   Cambodia, 
  and 
  Mr, 
  Vitalis 
  de 
  Salvaza 
  has 
  in 
  recent 
  years 
  

   taken 
  it 
  commonly 
  in 
  Tonkin, 
  Laos, 
  and 
  Annam. 
  

  

  Macleay 
  thought 
  his 
  species 
  might 
  be 
  Wiedemann's 
  

   Scarites 
  punctiim 
  (Zool. 
  Mag. 
  ii, 
  1, 
  1823, 
  38), 
  which 
  comes 
  

   from 
  Bengal 
  and 
  not 
  from 
  Senegal 
  as 
  indicated; 
  this 
  

   seems 
  very 
  unlikely. 
  I 
  find 
  that 
  Wiedemann's 
  description 
  

   agrees 
  very 
  well 
  with 
  Chaudoir's 
  Disiichus 
  {Taeniolobus) 
  

   puncticollis 
  (Bull, 
  Mosc. 
  1855, 
  i, 
  47), 
  which 
  ought 
  in 
  that 
  

   case 
  to 
  take 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  D. 
  punctum 
  Wied. 
  

  

  32. 
  Dlstichus 
  (Scarites) 
  Indus. 
  Identified 
  by 
  Macleay 
  

   with 
  Olivier's 
  Scarites 
  indus 
  (Ent, 
  iii, 
  36, 
  1795, 
  9, 
  t. 
  1, 
  

   f. 
  2). 
  This 
  was 
  an 
  error, 
  as 
  the 
  insect 
  belongs 
  to 
  Motchul- 
  

   sky's 
  genus 
  Distichus 
  (Et. 
  Ent. 
  1857, 
  96). 
  No 
  other 
  

   Distichus 
  is 
  recorded 
  from 
  Java, 
  and 
  the 
  nearest 
  species 
  

   seems 
  to 
  be 
  Chaudoir's 
  D. 
  dicaelus 
  (Mon, 
  52) 
  from 
  Singa- 
  

   pore, 
  Macleay's 
  insect 
  does 
  not 
  quite 
  agree 
  with 
  Chau- 
  

   doir's 
  description, 
  so 
  I 
  give 
  a 
  fresh 
  one 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  

   D. 
  macleayi. 
  

  

  Distichus

  Length

   Width 
  3 
  mill. 
  

  

  Black, 
  shiny, 
  base 
  of

  and 
  legs 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  dark 
  

   red. 
  

  

  Head 
  quadrate, 
  with 
  the 
  front 
  angles 
  rounded, 
  middle 
  of 
  front 
  

   and 
  a 
  small 
  area 
  near 
  front 
  angles 
  smooth, 
  all 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  surface 
  

   including 
  the 
  shallow 
  frontal 
  impressions 
  longitudinally 
  striate,
