Calosoma chinensis, Kirby. 

 Many examples from Wa-shan and Chia-ting Fu. The spe- 

 cies is common in eastern China, and in the north as far as the 

 Amur. 



Calosoma thibetanum, Fairmaire, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxi. 



p. 92. 

 Apparently an abundant species at Wa-shan and Chia-ting Fu ; 

 there is also one example in the collection received from Ichang. 

 The species was first met with by the French missionaries at 

 Moupin, near the Tibetan frontier, and is distinguished from 

 C. lugens (Chaud.), and other species of the C. investigator 

 group, by the angular dilatation of the sides of the thorax and 

 the non-metallic fovese of the elytra. 



Chl;enius n^eviger, Morawitz. 

 Wa-shan, alt. 6000 feet ; Ichang. Found also in Japan. 



CHLiENius costiger, Chaadoir. 

 Wa-shan, alt. 6000 feet. A widely-distributed insect in 

 Eastern Asia, occurring from Japan to Cambodia. Sze-chuen 

 examples reseMble those from Cambodia in the thorax being 

 brilliant green, with little trace of coppery reflections. 



Harpalus vicarius, Harold. 

 Wa-shan, 6000 feet ; also Eastern Siberia and Japan. A 

 species closely allied to the common European H. ruficomis (Fab.). 

 The differential characters relied on by Harold are, however, not 

 constant, some of the Chinese examples having the hind angles 

 quite as rectangular as British specimens. In Japan individuals 

 occur with smooth head and centre of thorax ; but others have 

 finely punctured thoracic disk and the head faintly punctured. 

 All the Wa-shan examples are like the last mentioned. 



Harpalus tridens, Morawitz. 

 Wa-shan. Found also at Ichang and Kiu-Kiang, and in 

 Japan as far north as Hakodate. 



Harpalus chalcentus, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1873, p. 263. 

 Ichang. A common species throughout Eastern China, Japan, 

 and Korea. 



Curtonotus nitens, Putzeys. 

 Ichang. Also a widely distributed species throughout the 

 Pacific sea-board of Asia. 



PTEROSTICHUS (?) PRATTII. 

 Very near P. simillimus (Fairmaire), differing in its larger size, more 

 elongate, though robust, form, and the longer, squarer thorax, with nearly 

 rectangular hind angles. Black ; head moderate, much narrowed behind
