  Mr.

  Andrewes 
  on 
  the 
  

  

  Much 
  larger 
  tliaii 
  C. 
  facialis 
  Wied. 
  (Zool. 
  Mag. 
  i, 
  3, 
  1819, 
  

   165). 
  Tlie 
  blue 
  colour 
  has 
  more 
  violet 
  in 
  it, 
  and 
  no 
  green 
  

   reflections; 
  head 
  smoother, 
  but 
  punctures 
  larger, 
  without 
  

   longitudinal 
  striation 
  at 
  sides 
  of 
  front 
  ; 
  front 
  angles 
  of 
  

   prothorax 
  more 
  rounded 
  and 
  basal 
  transverse 
  depression 
  

   deeper 
  ; 
  the 
  carinae 
  on 
  intervals 
  5 
  and 
  7 
  of 
  elytra 
  sharper, 
  

   though 
  not 
  extending 
  quite 
  so 
  far 
  towards 
  apex, 
  interval 
  3 
  

   with 
  five 
  (instead 
  of 
  three) 
  pores, 
  tooth 
  at 
  outer 
  angle 
  of 
  

   tmncature 
  not 
  so 
  sharp. 
  

  

  3. 
  Macrochilus 
  bensoni 
  (I.e. 
  16G, 
  t. 
  1, 
  f. 
  5). 
  An 
  example 
  

   marked 
  "type"; 
  for 
  reasons 
  already 
  given, 
  I 
  consider 
  

   the 
  " 
  type 
  " 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  4. 
  Chlaenius 
  nepalensis 
  (Zool. 
  Misc. 
  1831, 
  21). 
  There 
  is 
  

   also 
  an 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  marked 
  " 
  type," 
  to 
  which 
  

   1 
  have 
  already 
  referred 
  in 
  my 
  remarks 
  (under 
  Hopp:) 
  on 
  

   the 
  Plardwickc 
  Collection, 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum.

  Gnathaphanus 
  licinoides 
  (Ann. 
  and 
  Mag. 
  of 
  Nat. 
  Hist, 
  

   ix, 
  1842, 
  427). 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  well-known 
  Australian 
  species, 
  

   but 
  I 
  mention 
  it 
  here 
  because 
  its 
  habitat 
  extends 
  to 
  New 
  

   Guinea. 
  It 
  was 
  described 
  again 
  by 
  Mcmtrouzier 
  (Ann. 
  

   Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Fr. 
  1860, 
  240) 
  as 
  Catadromus 
  ? 
  impressus, 
  and 
  by 
  

   Castlenau 
  (Notes 
  on 
  Australian 
  Coleoptera 
  1867, 
  99) 
  as 
  

   Harpalus 
  alternans. 
  Mr. 
  T. 
  G. 
  Sloane 
  has 
  published 
  a 
  table 
  

   (Deutsch. 
  Ent. 
  Zeit. 
  1907, 
  468) 
  differentiating 
  this 
  and 
  

   allied 
  species. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  Australia 
  and 
  New 
  (kiinea, 
  

   the 
  species 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  New 
  Caledonia. 
  

  

  6. 
  Brachynus 
  (Aploa) 
  pictus 
  (Trans. 
  Zool. 
  Soc. 
  i, 
  1833, 
  

   92, 
  t. 
  13, 
  f. 
  1).

  : 
  type 
  lost. 
  Subsequently 
  

   described 
  by 
  Chaudoir 
  (Bull. 
  Mosc. 
  1852, 
  i, 
  41 
  ) 
  as 
  B.figuratus. 
  

   The 
  species 
  is 
  omitted 
  from 
  the 
  Munich 
  Catalogue. 
  When 
  

   Chaudoir 
  came 
  to 
  write 
  his 
  " 
  Monographic 
  des 
  Brachy- 
  

   nides 
  " 
  (Ann. 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Belg. 
  1876), 
  he 
  had 
  discovered 
  

   Hope's 
  description, 
  and 
  the 
  species 
  appears 
  correctly 
  under 
  

   the 
  name 
  of 
  yictus 
  (p. 
  54). 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  well-known 
  species, 
  

   closely 
  allied 
  to 
  B. 
  nobilis 
  Dej. 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  v, 
  1831, 
  415) 
  

   from 
  N. 
  E. 
  Africa, 
  but 
  differing 
  widely 
  in 
  appearance 
  from 
  

   most 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus. 
  Hope's 
  type, 
  like 
  the 
  

   other 
  two 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  Sykes 
  Collection, 
  came 
  from 
  

   Poona, 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  records 
  also 
  from 
  Bengal, 
  Delhi, 
  Nagpur, 
  

   Belgaum 
  (Bombay), 
  S. 
  India, 
  and 
  Ceylon. 
  At 
  Oxford 
  

   there 
  is 
  a 
  s])ecimen 
  labelled 
  " 
  Siam 
  " 
  — 
  the 
  only 
  extra- 
  

   Indian 
  locality 
  I 
  have 
  come 
  across 
  — 
  and 
  this 
  is 
  possibly 
  

   inaccurate.
