This admirably beautiful species is described by Fabricius as an inhabitant of 
India, on the authority of the cabinet of the late Dr. Fothergill. It bears very great 
resemblance to several brilliant species found in South America and the West Indies, 
composing the subgenus Actenodes of Dejean. Schonherr, most probably by mistake, 
has given Italy as the locality of this species.

This conspicuous insect is one of the largest species of the Linnaean genus 
Carabus. It is very abundant in some parts of India. Donovan, although referring to 
the original description of A. sex-guttata, published this under the name of Carabus 
6-maculatus, which name had been given by Fabricius to a different species of the same 
genus.
