COLEOPTERA OF THE FAMILY CARABIDAE 27 



transxcrse lines, w liicli form very wide meshes, none on disk of protliorax or head. Meta- 

 sternai process bordered and witli a transverse groove behind it. 



I.N'DiAN Tibet; Kyam, 15,630 feet, 20-\' 11-32, 6 e.x., taken round the edge of a hot 

 spring. 



The subgenus here is Pcryphus and the species will be readily recognized by the colora- 

 tion of the elytra. 



Bembidion eupages sp. nov. 



Length: 2.9-3.1 mm. 



Colour Ijlack beneath, upper surface aeneous or blue, and very shiny palpi, joints 1 to 3 

 of antennae (rest fuscous), apex of elytra and venter, trochanters, tibiae, and tarsi 

 ferruginous. 



Head with fairly deep, nearly parallel furrows, converging a little on clypeus and 

 diverging behind, eyes prominent, antennae short, submoniliform, surface impunctate. Pro- 

 thorax convex, cordate, slightly wider than head, nearly a third wider than long, base truncate 

 at middle, very oblique at sides, narrower than apex, sides strongly rounded in front and 

 contracted behind, with a rather wide marginal channel, sinuate close to the hind angles 

 which project on each side as a siuall sharp though slightly obtuse tooth, bounded by a short 

 oblique carina, within which are the small deep rounded f oveae ; median line very fine, trans- 

 verse impressions evident, the hind one with a few deep punctures, and one or two generally 

 transverse punctures along the basal margin, surface otherwise impunctate. Elytra moder- 

 ately convex, subquadrate, a half wider than prothorax and a little more than a half longer 

 than wide, shoulders square, border reaching stria 4; striate-punctate, striae 1 and 8 only 

 impressed, the remaining striae formed by the punctures, which are as clearly marked in the 

 outer as in the inner striae, but 2 to 7 all disappear behind, scutellary striole formed by rather 

 large punctures, apical stria wanting and its pore consequently isolated; intervals flat, 1 raised 

 behind, dorsal pores on interval 3 at about a fourth and three-fifths, a fine clavicular fold 

 present. No microsculpture. Metasternal process bordered, and with a transverse groove 

 behind it. 



Kashmir: Lokut Dal Lake, 5200 feet, 28-IV-32, 6 ex.; edge of Phashakuri near 

 Pampur, 7 v. 1932, 3 ex. In the Indian Museum, Calcutta, there is a single specimen labelled 

 "Kashmir," taken by Mr. H. T. Pease in 1915. 



The species fits fairly into the palaearctic subgenus Eniphanes. 



Cymindis rubriceps sp. nov. 



Length : 7.8 mm. 



Colour piceous : head, prothorax, the latter with a vague dark area on each side of disk, 

 and a small area around scutellum and extending backwards nearly to middle along suture, 

 dark red; palpi and joints 2 to 11 of antennae ferruginous; joint 1 of antennae, legs, 

 epipleura, and an elytral pattern more or less flavous. The pattern on the elytra comprises 

 inter\'al 9, a humeral vitta on intervals 5 to 7, not quite reaching middle, and a small spot 

 near apex on intervals 3 to 5, extending a little backwards on 5. 



Body covered with a fairly long pale pubescence, scanty on the head and prothorax, a 

 little denser on the elytra, though not concealing- the shiny surface.
