nelli, the genera comprising this family are few in 

 number ; the species may be subdivided artificially 

 into four sections. The first containing all the 

 maculated species, they appear common to Africa 

 and Asia. The second have the external edges 

 of the elytra margined with yellow. The third 

 division have the wings deeply sulcated ; and the 

 last are generally of uniform colour and spotless, 

 being either green or black ; to the latter section, 

 however, there are some few exceptions. The fol- 

 lowing genera belong to the family of Chlaenius.

Sp. 52. Quadricolor. — Now a Chlaenius. I have 

 no doubt that it inhabits the East Indies, as General 

 Hardwicke had in his collection a species from 

 Bengal, which closely suited the Fabrician insect.
