  already 
  mentioned, 
  include 
  Ceylon, 
  Hong-Kong, 
  Batchian, 
  

   and 
  Celebes. 
  Mr. 
  Bedel 
  also 
  mentions, 
  though 
  not 
  on 
  his 
  

   own 
  authority, 
  the 
  French 
  ports 
  of 
  Caen, 
  Le 
  Havre, 
  and 
  

   Bordeaux, 
  Tarsus 
  (in 
  Asia 
  Minor), 
  and 
  Guadeloupe. 
  

  

  But 
  this 
  does 
  not 
  complete 
  the 
  tale. 
  Chaudoir 
  had 
  in 
  

   his 
  collection 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  a 
  Coptodera 
  received 
  from 
  

   Dohrn 
  and 
  taken 
  by 
  Bowring 
  at 
  Hong-Kong. 
  Undeterred 
  

   by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  his 
  specimen 
  was 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  Hope's, 
  

   he 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  persuaded 
  himself 
  that 
  the 
  two 
  were 
  

   identical, 
  which 
  was 
  far 
  from 
  being 
  the 
  case. 
  The 
  dimen- 
  

   sions 
  given 
  by 
  Hope 
  are 
  " 
  Long. 
  lin. 
  2, 
  lat. 
  lin. 
  |," 
  and 
  

   by 
  Chaudoir 
  " 
  Long. 
  8 
  m. 
  ; 
  larg. 
  8| 
  m." 
  (Memoire 
  sur 
  les 
  

   Coptoderides, 
  Ann. 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Belg. 
  xii, 
  1869, 
  187). 
  For 
  

   Chaudoir's 
  species 
  I 
  propose 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Coptodera 
  

   chaudoiri. 
  I 
  may 
  add 
  that 
  its 
  alleged 
  width 
  is 
  exaggerated. 
  

  

  Westwood. 
  

  

  Westwood 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  in 
  the 
  habit 
  of 
  

   writing 
  the 
  word 
  " 
  type 
  " 
  on 
  the 
  labels 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  

   he 
  described 
  as 
  new. 
  Of 
  the 
  three 
  examples 
  of 
  Oriental 
  

   Carabidae 
  so 
  described, 
  the 
  types 
  of 
  two 
  should 
  be 
  in 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum, 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  identify 
  only 
  one 
  

   of 
  them. 
  

  

  1. 
  Clivina 
  castanea 
  (Proc. 
  Zool. 
  Soc. 
  1837, 
  128). 
  A 
  

   small 
  and 
  immature 
  specimen, 
  as 
  I 
  think, 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  

   described 
  by 
  Putzeys 
  in 
  his 
  " 
  Postscriptum 
  ad 
  Cliv. 
  Mon." 
  

   (Mem. 
  Liege 
  xviii, 
  1863, 
  60) 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  C. 
  parryi. 
  

   When 
  writing 
  his 
  " 
  Revision 
  generale 
  des 
  Clivinides 
  " 
  

   (Ann. 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Belg. 
  x, 
  1867), 
  Putzeys 
  tells 
  us 
  (p. 
  131 
  

   note 
  (1) 
  ) 
  that 
  he 
  sent 
  a 
  " 
  type 
  " 
  of 
  C. 
  parryi 
  to 
  Westwood, 
  

   who 
  compared 
  it 
  with 
  his 
  own 
  species, 
  and 
  reported 
  some 
  

   slight 
  differences, 
  which 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  sufficient 
  in 
  

   Putzeys' 
  eyes 
  to 
  justify 
  him 
  in 
  keeping 
  the 
  species 
  distinct. 
  

   No 
  one 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  examined 
  Westwood's 
  type 
  since, 
  

   and 
  Putzeys' 
  name 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  one 
  in 
  common 
  use. 
  It 
  

   may 
  be 
  mentioned 
  that 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  figured 
  in 
  Schmidt- 
  

   Goebel's 
  work 
  (Faun. 
  Col. 
  Birm. 
  1846, 
  t. 
  3, 
  f.^4) 
  under 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  Eupalamus 
  clivinoides, 
  but 
  no 
  description 
  appeared. 
  

   Bates 
  thought 
  that 
  Putzeys' 
  C. 
  lata 
  and 
  C. 
  agona 
  (both 
  

   " 
  Revision," 
  p. 
  131) 
  were 
  either 
  identical 
  with 
  or 
  only 
  

   slight 
  varieties 
  of 
  C. 
  parryi 
  {vide 
  Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  1876, 
  3, 
  

   and 
  Aim. 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Fr, 
  1889, 
  262). 
  In 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  

   former 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  doubt 
  he 
  was 
  right, 
  but 
  C. 
  agona, 
  to 
  which 
  

   I 
  shall 
  refer 
  later 
  on, 
  I 
  consider 
  a 
  distinct 
  species.
