oneof which bears the label " Taiiger. Schousboe, Mus. T. L. 

 & S., Carabus depressiis, F." The name Schousboe does 

 not refer to a collection, but to a collector. 



It" the Indian type is not at Coj)enhaoen, it is unlikely to 

 turn up elsewhere, and must be regarded as lost. 



Bembidiini. 



Bemhidium europs, Bates, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) xvii. 

 1886, p. 156. 



This species, founded upon a single specimen taken by 

 Mr. George Lewis in Ceylon, is widely distributed throughout 

 India. I consider it identical with B. opuJentum, Nietn. 

 (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (3) ii. 1858, p. 420), but Bates 

 thought that Nietner's species was synonymous with B. nilo- 

 ti'cum, Dej. Spec. Gen. v. 1831, p. 73. Uejean described his 

 species from Egypt, whence it ranges through Mesopotamia 

 and China to Japan, and extends southwards into Indo- 

 China. I have seen a solitary specimen from India taken by 

 Mr. H. G. Champion in W. Almora (Himalayas). On 

 distribution, therefore, B. opulentum is more likely to be 

 europs than niloticum, and Nietner^s description, though 

 inadequate, fits europs better. Bates does not say that be 

 has seen any autheutic specimen of B, opulentum.

FAapliropus^ Motsch. 



The pectinate claws are diiOficult to see, but I have been 

 able to detect them in several Oriental species. The following 

 should, I think, be referred to tliis genus, in addition to 

 Motsch ulsky's K. gracilis and E. laiissimus\ —
