  (I.e. 
  74). 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  share 
  this 
  opinion, 
  and 
  identify 
  Walker's 
  

   species 
  with 
  D. 
  (Rhembus) 
  distinguenda 
  Laf. 
  (Aim. 
  Soc. 
  

   Ent. 
  Fr. 
  1851, 
  278). 
  Bates 
  himself 
  later 
  on 
  not 
  only 
  

   described 
  the 
  species, 
  but 
  did 
  so 
  twice 
  over 
  — 
  though 
  each 
  

   time 
  under 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  of 
  Rhembus 
  rectificatus 
  (Compt. 
  

   rend. 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Belg. 
  1891, 
  329, 
  and 
  Aim. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  

   1892, 
  325). 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  is 
  common 
  throughout 
  India 
  and 
  Burma, 
  

   but 
  its 
  habitat 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  to 
  extend 
  further. 
  

  

  28. 
  Gnathaphanus 
  (Harpalus) 
  dispellens 
  = 
  G. 
  (Harpalus) 
  

   punctilabris 
  Macl., 
  referred 
  to 
  elsewhere. 
  

  

  29. 
  Lamprophonus 
  ( 
  ? 
  Drimostoma) 
  marginalis. 
  Bates 
  

   says 
  (p. 
  212) 
  : 
  " 
  A 
  Harpalid, 
  with 
  upper 
  surface 
  finely 
  

   punctured 
  and 
  frontal 
  furrows 
  as 
  in 
  Bradycellus 
  and 
  allies. 
  

   The 
  type 
  being 
  female, 
  its 
  generic 
  position 
  cannot 
  be 
  

   ascertained." 
  The 
  species 
  actually 
  belongs 
  to 
  Bates' 
  

   own 
  genus 
  Lamprophonus, 
  described 
  three 
  years 
  later 
  

   (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  1889, 
  101), 
  and 
  I 
  consider 
  the 
  type 
  

   to 
  be 
  a 
  male. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  further 
  example 
  from 
  Ceylon 
  in 
  

   the 
  British 
  Museum 
  Collection, 
  and 
  one 
  in 
  my 
  own 
  collec- 
  

   tion, 
  but 
  like 
  the 
  type 
  they 
  are 
  old. 
  I 
  have 
  also 
  a 
  speci- 
  

   men, 
  only 
  partly 
  developed, 
  from 
  the 
  Nilgiri 
  Hills.
