   (I.e.

  ^the 
  

   new

  CO. 
  Waterhouse 
  figures 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  his 
  "

  of

  " 
  (xv, 
  1882,

  The 
  species 
  occurs 
  all 
  over 
  India, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  

   Museum 
  Collection 
  there 
  is 
  an 
  example 
  labelled 
  "Hong- 
  

   Kong." 
  Mr. 
  Vitalis 
  de 
  Salvaza 
  has 
  recently 
  sent 
  a 
  

   specimen 
  from 
  Cambodia.

  Putzeys 
  (Ann.

  refers 
  to 
  a 
  Tachys 
  rufulus 
  Walk., 
  and 
  Bates 
  also 
  

   mentions 
  it 
  (p. 
  212), 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  been 
  unable 
  to 
  find 
  any 
  

   description 
  and 
  should 
  be 
  grateful 
  to 
  any 
  one 
  who 
  could 
  

   tell 
  me 
  where 
  it 
  appeared. 
  I 
  fancy 
  it 
  will 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  

   MS. 
  name. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  any 
  specimen 
  bearing 
  

   this 
  name 
  in

  Chaudoir 
  gives 
  a 
  few 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  his 
  

   "

  monographique 
  sur 
  le 
  genre 
  Omophron 
  " 
  (Rev.

  Rousseau 
  (Gen. 
  Ins. 
  

   Omophroninae,

  Dr. 
  Gestro 
  (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  

   1888, 
  172) 
  described 
  a 
  species 
  taken 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Fea 
  in 
  Burma 
  

   as 
  0. 
  levigalus, 
  and 
  Bates 
  refers 
  to 
  this 
  in 
  his 
  detailed 
  work 
  

   on 
  Mr. 
  Fea's 
  Carabidae 
  (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  1892, 
  269). 
  

   Dr. 
  Gestro, 
  who 
  suspected 
  that 
  his 
  insect 
  might 
  be 
  the 
  

   same 
  as 
  Pascoe's, 
  tells 
  us 
  that 
  he 
  sent 
  a 
  specimen 
  to 
  

   Bates, 
  who 
  compared 
  it 
  with 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  brettinghamae, 
  

   and 
  decided 
  that 
  the 
  two 
  species 
  were 
  different. 
  In 
  my 
  

   collection 
  is 
  a 
  cotype 
  of 
  0. 
  levigatus, 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  com- 
  

   pared 
  with 
  Pascoe's 
  type; 
  I 
  find 
  the 
  two 
  specimens 
  to 
  

   be 
  exactly 
  alike. 
  Possibly 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  a 
  variable 
  one. 
  

   Pascoe's 
  locahty 
  was 
  Dacca, 
  Dr. 
  Gestro's 
  Teinzo

   Burma).
