626 NEW AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OP CARABIDiE, 



liglitly eraarginate, narrowed to base; elytra elongate-oval, disc 

 impunctate,* liumei'al angles not dentate, inflexed margins nar- 

 row behind first ventral segment ; anterior tibiae 2-dentate. 

 Head black, becoming green above, behind and below eyes and 

 in posterior part of frontal sulci; prothorax black, pronotuni 

 widely margined with green, the green margins confluent behind, 

 but the basal margin of the lobe black; elytra (including inflexed 

 margins) green, blackish in middle of disc; body, abdomen, legs, 

 and antennae black. 



Head as wide as prothorax (4"3o mm. across eyes), convex, 

 roundly declivous to anterior margin and above eyes, gentlv 

 narrowed behind eyes; frontal sulci long, narrow, deep, diverg- 

 ing lightly backwards; out-turned anterior part of their course 

 obsolete; clypeus strongly declivous in iniddle, median part 

 lightly emarginate, intermediate angles stiongly developed, pio- 

 minent, triangular; preocular sulcus wide, shallow: eyes deeply 

 set in orbits, not prominent; postocular part of orbits large, 

 rising roundly and obliquely from head; thr^e supraorbital seta? 

 on each side. Prothorax hardly broader than long (4'25 x 4-35 

 mm.), not declivous to base in middle; sides parallel, widely 

 rounded at posterior angles, feebly sinuate on each side of base; 

 anterior margin truncate; border narrow, prominent, but hardly 

 advanced on anterior angles, thick on base, median line finely 

 marked; a lightly marked wide depression on each side of base. 

 Elytra narrow (9 '6 x 4-35 mm.), subparallel on sides, strongly 

 declivous to peduncle, shortly and strongly declivous at apex, 

 depi'essed on disc along suture; apical curve short; border nar- 

 row, a little raised in a wide curve (but without any dentiform 

 prominence) at shoulders; fouv or five punctures in a slight wide 

 depression near each humeral angle; a marginal row of punctures 

 on each elytron. A'entral segments 3-5 with two ambulatorial 

 setie; apical segment with four setigerous punctures, and with a 



* This refers to the discal, setigerous punctures so frequently found on 

 the elytra among the Carenides (e.g., Carenidium rirerinre Mad.). The 

 specimen before me shows rows of distinct punctures on the elytra, and 

 their surface is covered witii minute punctures; Imt the presence of all 

 these punctures I consider a post mortem eti'ect caused 1)3' long immersion 

 in alcohol.
