Mr. T. Tatum on two new species of Carabus from, Asia. 15 



gins, where it is thickly marked with punctures ; the median fur- 

 row strongly denned ; the edges slightly elevated ; anterior and 

 posterior margins square ; sides convex before, concave behind, 

 giving a somewhat heart-shape to the thorax ; anterior angles 

 rounded ; posterior acute and slightly produced outwards as well 

 as backwards, giving considerable width to the posterior part of 

 the thorax. Elytra oval, convex, tapering towards the base as 

 well as the extremity ; on each, three longitudinal rows of ele- 

 vated oval tubercles ; occasionally two or three run into one 

 another, producing a continuous ridge; the rows of tubercles 

 are separated from each other, from the suture and from the ex- 

 ternal margin, by treble rows of small elevations or granules of 

 various sizes. Length 1 inch 5} lines.

The general aspect of this Carabus is like a Procrustes : the 

 sculpture on the elytra resembles that of the Carabus Lafossei 

 described by the Baron Feisthamel in the ' Ann. Soc. Ent. France/ 

 2nd series, p. 103. t. 2. f. 1 & 2. 



Carabus monilifer 



somewhat resembles the preceding species in size, form and 

 sculpture of the elytra. The head is smaller and studded with 

 minute punctures. Thorax much smaller, its anterior and pos- 

 terior margins slightly concave ; sides less sinuous, and posterior 

 angles less produced ; margins slightly elevated ; the surface like 

 the head finely punctured, convex ; median furrow obsolete, and 

 on either side of this line, and near to posterior margin, a 

 slightly elevated tubercle. Form of elytra as in the preceding 

 species : the three rows of tubercles smaller, flatter, and more 

 regular in size and form ; between each row, and also near the 

 suture and external margin, a single row of smaller tubercles, 

 also more regular than in the former insect, and the entire spaces 

 between the tubercles studded with punctures, giving a fine gra- 

 nulated appearance to those parts. The colour is a less decided 

 black than C. lithariophorus, with slight tints of bronze, both on 

 the thorax and on the margins of the elytra. Length 1 inch 

 3| lines.

 Samarang in the Eastern Seas, in the Corean Archipelago. In
