Oxydrepanus is a genus hitherto recorded only from Tropical 

 America. It is intermediate betv^een Olivina and Dyschirius. The 

 palpi taper to a fine point but the penultimate and base of the 

 apical joints (of the maxillaries) are , on the inner side , more 

 dilated than in Olivina. Putzeys describes three species of Dy- 

 schirius from India, Siam and Burma which according to the 

 characters given must be much nearer to Oxydrepanus than to 

 Dyschirius; none of the descriptions applies to 0. birmanicus^ 

 though that of D. hispidulus seems to approach it very nearly.
