﻿Types 
  of 
  Oriental 
  Carabidae,

  The 
  description 
  does 
  not 
  go 
  into 
  great 
  detail, 
  but 
  it 
  has 
  

   been 
  expanded 
  by 
  Chaiidoir 
  (BerL 
  Ent. 
  Zeit. 
  1861, 
  123) 
  

   and 
  Commandant 
  Dupuis 
  (Ann. 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Belg. 
  1913, 
  82). 
  

   The 
  type 
  came 
  from 
  Java, 
  and 
  so 
  did 
  nearly 
  all 
  the 
  examples 
  

   I 
  have 
  seen. 
  There 
  are, 
  however, 
  two 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum 
  labelled 
  respectively 
  " 
  India," 
  and 
  

   Mungphu 
  (Sikkim) 
  : 
  I 
  think 
  these 
  indications 
  should 
  be 
  

   accepted 
  with 
  reserve, 
  

  

  2. 
  Gnathaphanus 
  (Amblygnathus) 
  philippensis 
  (Rev. 
  Zool. 
  

   1841, 
  221). 
  Two 
  examples 
  (^J 
  $), 
  without 
  any 
  indication 
  as 
  

   to 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  type. 
  Chevrolat 
  probably 
  had 
  both 
  examples 
  

   before 
  him, 
  and 
  I 
  think 
  they 
  may 
  fairly 
  be 
  treated 
  as 
  the 
  (^ 
  

   and 
  $ 
  types. 
  These 
  came 
  from 
  Manilla, 
  but 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  the 
  

   species 
  is 
  from 
  S. 
  India 
  to 
  tropical 
  Australia. 
  W. 
  Macleay, 
  

   jun., 
  described 
  it 
  from 
  Port 
  Denison 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc, 
  

   N.S.W, 
  1864, 
  i, 
  117) 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Pachauchetvius 
  

   laeviceps, 
  and 
  Chaudoir 
  added 
  some 
  further 
  notes 
  (Ann, 
  

   Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen, 
  xii, 
  1878, 
  511). 
  Bates 
  records 
  the 
  species 
  

   from 
  Rangoon, 
  Chaudoir 
  from 
  Queensland, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Sloane 
  

   adds 
  Celebes 
  and 
  New 
  Guinea. 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  Indian 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  from 
  Belgaum 
  and 
  Kanara 
  (Bombay), 
  and 
  Virsee 
  

   (Central 
  Provinces). 
  I 
  believe 
  the 
  species 
  to 
  be 
  fairly 
  

   common 
  in 
  Austraha, 
  but 
  it 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  uncommon 
  in 
  the 
  

   Indian 
  region. 
  

  

  Castlenau. 
  

  

  Chlaenius 
  flavofemoratus 
  (Et. 
  Ent. 
  1834, 
  81, 
  t. 
  1, 
  f. 
  3). 
  

   Chaudoir 
  did 
  not 
  apparently 
  know 
  this 
  species, 
  for 
  in 
  his 
  

   " 
  Monographic 
  des 
  Chleniens 
  " 
  (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  1876, 
  

   93) 
  he 
  treats 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  C.femoraius 
  Dej. 
  (Spec. 
  

   Gen. 
  ii, 
  1826, 
  328). 
  This 
  is 
  quite 
  a 
  mistake. 
  It 
  is 
  actually 
  

   identical 
  with 
  C. 
  nigricoxis 
  Motch. 
  (Bull. 
  Mosc. 
  1864, 
  iv, 
  

   339), 
  by 
  which 
  name 
  it 
  has 
  hitherto 
  been 
  known; 
  this 
  

   name 
  must, 
  however, 
  give 
  place 
  to 
  Castlenau's 
  much 
  

   earlier 
  one. 
  Chaudoir 
  (Mon. 
  94) 
  gives 
  a 
  further 
  descrip- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  Motchulsky's 
  species, 
  and 
  Bates 
  (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  

   Gen. 
  1892, 
  312) 
  also 
  has 
  a 
  reference 
  to 
  it. 
  The 
  type 
  came 
  

   from 
  Java, 
  Motchulsky's 
  species 
  from 
  Hong-Kong. 
  Bates 
  

   mentions 
  Bhamo, 
  Palon, 
  and 
  Karin 
  Cheba 
  (Burma) 
  ; 
  also 
  

   Laos 
  in 
  Indo-China, 
  

  

  PUTZEYS, 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Chevrolat 
  Collection 
  some 
  Clivina 
  types 
  

   and 
  cotypes, 
  Putzeys' 
  types 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  scattered, 
  and
