There is one example only of this extraordinary species, 

 which differs from the Chlaenii of Chaudoir's subgroup limbicollis 

 in nothing that I can see except in the pectinate claws; it is 

 necessary, however, to establish a separate section for its re- 

 ception which I have done under the name Chlaenioctenus. A 

 closely allied species, if not a variety of the same, occurs in 

 Assam (*).

Found also in Bengal and along the east and west coasts of 

 India and at Hong Kong Ch. asperkolliSj, Bates (Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. 1873, 248) Japan, is only a variety in which the whole 

 disk of the thorax is bronzed black and the interstices of the 

 elytra are a little more convex than usual.

Originally described from Java, the species has been since 

 found to have a wide range. — Borneo ; Ceylon ; Bengal ; As- 

 sam. Some of the examples from Assam have nearly red tibiae 

 and tarsi and therefore connect the species with C. lynx (Chaud.) 

 of Eastern China and Formosa.
