470 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Caiabidre. 



seen two examples from Upper Assam taken by Mr. H. 

 Stevens, and there are three examples in the British Museum 

 labelled respectively Burma, Manipur [Dohe.rty), and Tenas- 

 serini. 



Distkhus sexpunctatus^ Men^t. Cat. Rais. i. 1832, p. 103. 



Menetries would probably be surprised to find how con- 

 stantly this name, invented by somebody else, but attributed 

 to him, has been cited as a synonym of D. 2^lttnus, Bon. 

 Menetries says of his example of D. planus: — "II diff^re 

 de la description qu^en donne le Comte jDejean, en ce que les 

 janibes posterieures n'ont qu'une seule dent, et je n'ai pu 

 comj)ter que trois points imprimes sur cliaque elytre." There 

 is no mention of the word ^'' sexpunctalus." D. planus can 

 well afford to dispense with one of its numerous synonyms. 



Clivina chlorizans, Bates, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gren. 1892, p. 282 

 = Coryza chlorizans, Bates. 



Clivina debility Bates, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gren. 1892, p. 278. 



This name is preoccupied by C. debilis, Blackb. Proc. Linn. 

 Soc. N.S.W. 1889, p. 720. For Bates's species I propose 

 the new name C. invalida. 



Dacca, Putzeys. Postscr. ad Cliv. Mon. M^m. Liege, xviii. 

 1863, p. 6S= Clivina. 



The only characters given to differentiate this genus from 

 Clivina are the length and acuteness of tiie maxillae and 

 mandibles and the short scutellary striole — all variable in 

 tliis genus, and insufficient to render a separate one necessary. 

 I have seen a number of examples from Bengal. 



SlAGONINI. 

 Siogona depressa, F. 



This species was described by Fabricius in 179S (Suppl. 

 Ent. 8yst. p. 56) as Carahns clepressus, and following the 

 description are the words " Habitat in Mauretania Dom. 

 Schousboe, in India Orientali Daldorff, Mus. Dom. de Sehe- 

 stedt.-" In 1801 (Syst. Eleuth. i. p. 24) the species reappears 

 as Gahrita depressa, but " Habitat in Mauretania Dom. 

 Schou.sboe" has disappeared, and we have only " Habitat in 

 India Orientali— Dom. DaldorfF." 



In 1813 Bonelli (Obs. Ent. ii. p. 458) described quite 

 another species as Siagona plana. Dejean in 1825 (Soec.
