This species, labelled in Bates's handwriting, differs in so 

 many respects from the description, that I think the author 

 n)ust have had some other insect before him. I cannot, 

 Iiowevcr, Hiid anything agreeing with the description among 

 the Carabidte taken by Mr. Lewis in Cf'ylon, and I can only 

 mention the di'^crepancies I have noted. The upper surface 

 is glossy and rrlucent, as mentioned, but blue-bhick rather 

 than aBneacent. The |)enultimate joint of the labial palpi is 

 |)lurisetose, not bisetose ; I am unable to detect the punctured 

 fovea on the first segment of the al)domen in the J (charac- 

 teristic of Tuc/i >/'•(' I lug and its allies) ; interval 3 of the elytra 

 with a well-marked puncture just hohind middle. I cannot 

 at present see any reason why this species should not be 

 included in Murawitz's genus Trichotichnu-i, though all those 

 hitherto described are confined to N.E. Asia.

This genus was formed for tlie three species, 1. 0. penn- 

 itylvanica, L., 2. 0. cyanocephala, F., 3. 0. surinamensis, L. 

 In No. I the tourtli tarsal joint is simple, and in No. 2 it is 

 bilobed. Of No. 3 I have no personal knowledge, but it is 

 eviilently <juilea (iitlerent insect from tho others, and deGeer, 

 in Mem. iv. 17 74, j). 7ti, formed for it the genus Colliinus. 

 King mentions the t\)urih tarsal j"int twice over, but his 

 remarks are contradictory: under " Characteres** we read 

 " tarsi articulo quarto elongato," but under " generis de- 

 scriptio" this becomes " tarsi articulo . . . quarto brevis&imo." 

 A year lator Latreille and Dejean, Hist. Nat.& Icon. d'Eur. 

 1822, p. 77, published the genus Casnonia, which was not.
