Correction. 



By a curious though careless error in the title of my 

 previous paper in the Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. {ante,, p. 218)

 pterous Family," and, more strangely also, did not observe the

XL VII. — Papers on Oriental Carabidse. — I. 

 By H. E. Andrewes. 



In constructing a Catalogue of Oriental Carabidse I have 

 come across a number of questions requiring further elucida- 

 tion, among which I may mention cases of erroneous identi- 

 fication, synonymy both of genera and species, attribution of 

 •specit'S to wrong genera, etc. I propose in this paper to give 

 some notes and a few new descriptions to clear these points up.

 available, to be only a local form of 0. costatus.
