  Andrewes 
  on 
  the 
  

  

  and 
  will 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  later 
  on; 
  only 
  one 
  type 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum 
  Collection. 
  

  

  Macrochilus 
  bensoni 
  (I.e. 
  166, 
  t. 
  1, 
  f. 
  5). 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  

   specimen 
  at 
  Oxford, 
  also 
  indicated 
  as 
  the 
  type, 
  but 
  Hope 
  

   at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  his 
  description 
  says 
  : 
  " 
  The 
  above 
  insect 
  was 
  

   originally 
  described 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Kirby's 
  Cabinet; 
  in 
  his 
  

   MSS. 
  he 
  has 
  given 
  it 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Macroclieilus 
  bensoni, 
  

   which 
  I 
  retain." 
  The 
  British 
  Museum 
  example 
  came 
  from 
  

   Kirby's 
  collection, 
  and 
  bears 
  the 
  name 
  in 
  his 
  handwriting 
  ; 
  

   it 
  is 
  therefore 
  no 
  doubt 
  the 
  actual 
  specimen 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  

   Hope. 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  may 
  fairly 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  the 
  type, 
  

   though 
  the 
  ambiguity 
  of 
  Hope's 
  observations 
  leaves 
  room 
  

   for 
  doubt. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  was 
  redescribed 
  by 
  Guerin 
  (Eev. 
  Zool. 
  

   1840, 
  38) 
  mider 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Helluo 
  quadrimaculatus, 
  and 
  

   it 
  was 
  generally 
  known 
  by 
  that 
  name 
  imtil 
  recent 
  years, 
  

   when 
  Hope's 
  name 
  was 
  revived. 
  Both 
  names 
  must 
  now 
  

   give 
  place 
  to 
  Macrochilus 
  trimaculatus 
  Oliv. 
  (See 
  under 
  

   Olivier.) 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  a 
  common 
  species, 
  taken 
  almost 
  always 
  at 
  light 
  in 
  

   the 
  evening, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  wide 
  range 
  from 
  India 
  and 
  Ceylon, 
  

   through 
  Burma, 
  the 
  Malay 
  Peninsula, 
  and 
  Tonkin 
  to 
  

   Hong-Kong.

  In

  Twenty-two 
  species 
  were 
  

   described, 
  and 
  I 
  give 
  some 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  six 
  species 
  of 
  

   Carabidae 
  in 
  the 
  order 
  in 
  which 
  they 
  appear 
  in 
  Hope's 
  

   paper.

  Harpalus 
  sinicus. 
  Redescribed 
  by 
  Motchulsky 
  (Et. 
  

   Ent. 
  1860, 
  5) 
  as 
  Harpalus 
  rugicollis,

  Morawitz 
  

   (Bull. 
  Ac. 
  St. 
  Pet. 
  V,

  as 
  Harpalus 
  japonicus 
  ; 
  

   the 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  numerous 
  authors 
  in 
  

   dealing 
  with 
  Chinese 
  and 
  Japanese 
  Carabidae.

  is 
  — 
  as

  as 
  

   I 
  know 
  — 
  the 
  only 
  author 
  who 
  has 
  correctly 
  identified 
  

   Hope's 
  species, 
  and 
  he 
  did 
  so 
  with 
  hesitation. 
  It 
  belongs 
  

   to 
  the 
  group 
  formed 
  by 
  Des 
  Gozis 
  (Mitt. 
  Schweiz.

  mider 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Pardileus. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  is 
  commonly 
  and 
  widely 
  distributed 
  over 
  

   China, 
  Japan, 
  Korea, 
  and 
  Formosa; 
  Mr. 
  Vitalis 
  de 
  Salvaza 
  

   has 
  lately 
  taken 
  it 
  in 
  Tonkin.
