  Mr, 
  H. 
  E. 
  Andre 
  wes 
  on 
  the 
  

  

  type 
  of 
  C. 
  castanea 
  came 
  from 
  Manilla. 
  The 
  species 
  ranges 
  

   over 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  S.E. 
  Asia, 
  including 
  Japan 
  in 
  the 
  North, 
  

   and 
  the 
  Malay 
  Archipelago, 
  with 
  New 
  Guinea, 
  in 
  the 
  

   South. 
  

  

  2. 
  Oxylobus 
  (Scarites) 
  sculptilis 
  (Arc. 
  Ent. 
  i, 
  1843, 
  88, 
  

   t, 
  23, 
  f. 
  1). 
  This 
  Indian 
  type 
  had 
  no 
  head 
  when 
  described, 
  

   it 
  was 
  said 
  to 
  come 
  from 
  Van 
  Diemen's 
  Land, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  

   now 
  lost. 
  It 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  either 
  in 
  the 
  Linnaean 
  Society's 
  

   collection, 
  or 
  in 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  

   searched 
  both 
  in 
  vain 
  ; 
  nor 
  has 
  it 
  turned 
  up 
  at 
  Oxford. 
  

   It 
  is 
  evidently 
  an 
  Indian 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  Oxylobus, 
  

   but 
  I 
  doubt 
  whether 
  it 
  will 
  ever 
  be 
  possible, 
  unless 
  the 
  

   type 
  is 
  found, 
  to 
  identify 
  it 
  with 
  certainty.

  3. 
  Helluodes 
  taprobanae 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  iv, 
  1847, 
  279, 
  

   t. 
  xxi, 
  fig. 
  B). 
  I 
  mention 
  this 
  well-known 
  species 
  here, 
  

   as 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  likely 
  to 
  have 
  any 
  better 
  opportunity. 
  It 
  

   is 
  figured 
  by 
  Lacordaire 
  (Gen. 
  Col. 
  1854, 
  Atl. 
  t. 
  7, 
  f. 
  1), 
  

   but 
  under 
  the 
  erroneous 
  name 
  of 
  Physocrotaphus 
  ceylonicus 
  

   Parry. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  confined 
  to 
  Ceylon. 
  Westwood 
  

   says 
  that 
  the 
  specimen 
  from 
  which 
  his 
  description 
  was 
  

   drawn 
  up 
  was 
  in 
  Melly's 
  Collection, 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  Geneva 
  

   Museum. 
  I 
  am 
  informed 
  by 
  Dr. 
  J. 
  Carl 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  such 
  

   a 
  specimen 
  now 
  at 
  Geneva, 
  and, 
  although 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  

   marked, 
  I 
  have 
  little 
  doubt 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  

   and 
  species.

  Macrochilus 
  (Acanthogenius) 
  astericus 
  (Ann. 
  and 
  Mag. 
  of 
  

   Nat. 
  Hist, 
  xiv, 
  1844,

  A 
  well-known 
  Eastern 
  

   species, 
  which 
  was 
  redescribed 
  by 
  Redtenbacher 
  (Reis. 
  

   Novar. 
  Zool. 
  ii, 
  Col. 
  1867, 
  4, 
  t. 
  2, 
  f.

  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  

   Planetes 
  crucifer. 
  See 
  also

  (Rev. 
  et

  and 
  Bates 
  (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  1892, 
  389). 
  

   All 
  the 
  specimens 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  were, 
  like 
  the 
  type, 
  from 
  

   Hong-Kong. 
  Bates 
  gives 
  Bhamo 
  and 
  Assam 
  also 
  as 
  

   localities. 
  There 
  is 
  an 
  example 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  

   labelled 
  " 
  Malabar," 
  but 
  this 
  is 
  almost 
  certainly 
  an 
  error.
