  Three 
  types 
  of 
  Catascopus 
  are 
  at 
  South 
  Kensington. 
  

  

  1. 
  Catascopus 
  (Pericalus) 
  presidens 
  (Arch. 
  Ent, 
  i, 
  1857, 
  

   281). 
  Chaudoir 
  (Berl. 
  Ent. 
  Zeit. 
  1861, 
  122) 
  expressed 
  the 
  

   tentative 
  opinion 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  might 
  be 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  

   the 
  same 
  author's 
  C. 
  cupripennis 
  : 
  I 
  can 
  find 
  no 
  further 
  

   references. 
  It 
  is 
  actually 
  identical 
  with 
  Chaudoir's 
  C. 
  

   costulatus 
  (Rev. 
  et 
  Mag. 
  Zool. 
  1862, 
  489), 
  and 
  Thomson's 
  

   name 
  must 
  replace 
  Chaudoir's. 
  In 
  the 
  following 
  year 
  

   Saunders 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  1863, 
  459, 
  t. 
  17, 
  f. 
  1) 
  described 
  

   it 
  again 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  C. 
  splendidus. 
  The 
  species 
  

   has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Malay 
  Peninsula, 
  Borneo 
  (Sarawak), 
  

   and 
  Celebes. 
  

  

  2. 
  Catascopus 
  (Pericalus) 
  cupripennis 
  (I.e. 
  282). 
  A 
  well- 
  

   known 
  species, 
  about 
  which 
  no 
  doubt 
  exists, 
  so 
  that 
  I 
  

   need 
  not 
  refer 
  to 
  it 
  further. 
  The 
  type 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  

   Malay 
  Peninsula 
  (Singapore), 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  records 
  also 
  from 
  

   Penang, 
  Malacca, 
  Perak, 
  Borneo 
  (Sarawak, 
  Labuan, 
  and 
  

   Pontianak), 
  and 
  Celebes. 
  

  

  3. 
  Catascopus 
  (Pericalus) 
  celebensis 
  (I.e. 
  282). 
  Identified 
  

   by 
  Chaudoir 
  (Berl. 
  Ent. 
  Zeit. 
  1861, 
  120), 
  I 
  think 
  quite 
  

   rightly, 
  as 
  a 
  form 
  of 
  C. 
  {Carabus) 
  elegans 
  Fab. 
  (Syst. 
  Eleuth. 
  

   i, 
  1801, 
  184), 
  described 
  a 
  few 
  months 
  earlier 
  by 
  AVeber 
  

   (Obs. 
  Ent. 
  1801, 
  45) 
  as 
  C. 
  (Elaphrns) 
  elegans. 
  It 
  differs 
  

   from 
  the 
  type 
  form 
  in 
  the 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  which 
  are 
  

   a 
  bright 
  reddish-purple. 
  The 
  type 
  form 
  extends 
  all 
  over 
  

   the 
  Malay 
  Archipelago 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  Northern 
  Australia. 
  On 
  

   the 
  mainland 
  of 
  Asia 
  it 
  ranges 
  from 
  Indo-China 
  on 
  the 
  

   East 
  to 
  Bengal 
  on 
  the 
  West, 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  specimens 
  

   from 
  any 
  other 
  part 
  of 
  India, 
  or 
  from 
  China.
