Mr. A. M. Lea has kindly drawn for me the subjoined figure 

 of the labium, which is quite unique amongst the Carabidse. 



Labium of G.foveatus SI.* 

 CUNEIPECTUS FOVEATUS, n.Sp. 



^. Robust, convex. Elytra with foveate sulci and costate 

 interstices. Black. 



Head large (6-3 mm. across eyes), convex; front and clypeus 

 minutely punctate; vertex finely reticulate; two supraorbital 

 punctures on each side. Prothorax broader than long (7-5 x 11 

 mm.), widest a little before middle, a little wider across base 

 (7-5 mm.) than apex (6-5 mm.); disc widely and lightly convex; 

 lateral margins explanate, widely reflexed towards base; apex 

 truncate behind head; anterior angles lightly advanced, wide, 

 roundly obtuse; sides arcuate, roundly obliquely narrowed to 

 base and apex; base widely truncate across peduncle; angles pro- 

 duced decidedly backwards, wide, rounded; posterior marginal 

 seta on border near edge just before basal angle. Elytra oval 

 (21-7 X 14*2 mm.), sulcate; disc convex; apical curve strongly 

 sinuate on each side; sulci wide, deep, foveate; interstices costate, 

 summits narrow (especially towards apex); space between summit 

 of eighth interstice and lateral border forming a wide channel, 



* Mr. Lea's figure shows only one seta at the apex of the paraglossse; but 

 my observations show that, in a specimen in good order, there are six or 

 seven seti«, three at the apex, the others along the side.
