Carabidae. 



1. Calosotna schrayeri, Er. 



2. Trigoiiothops vitti/'ennis, Sloaiie, n. sp. 



Mr. Sloane's description is as follows : — 



" Undersurface, legs, antennae, head, sides of prothorax 

 (widely) and elytra (narrowly), and a median vitta on each 

 el}i:ron yellowish ; vertex subinfuscate ; apical ventral segments 

 infuscate; femora paler than tibiae and tarsi ; disc of prothorax 

 piceous black ; elytra blac-k. 



''Head elongate, narrow (1.65 mm. across eyes), laevigate ; 

 neck wide ; eyes prominent ; orbits small behind eyes ; front 

 narrowly convex on each side above base of antenna ; these 

 supra-antennal ridges defined on inner side by a slightly oblique 

 preocular impression. 



'' i'rotliorax lightly transverse (1.7 x 2.15 mm.), widest before 

 middle; disc convex; apex (1.4 mm.) lightly and widely emar- 

 ginate ; anterior angles widely rounded ; sides rounded on an- 

 terior four-fifths, sinuate posteriorly and meeting base at right 

 angles; base wider than apex (1.8 mm.), a little oblique on each 

 side, lightly rounded in middle ; basal angles sharply rectangu- 

 lar ; lateral margins \\'ide, widest towards base, hardly narrower 

 near anterior marginal seta, lightly narrowed to apex. Elytra 

 much wider than prothorax (5.5 x 3.3 mm.), fully striate ; striae 

 narrowly linear, finely subcrenulate ; first interstice with a 

 striole at base ; ninth decidedly narrower than eighth, seriate 

 punctate, the punctures wide apart in middle. Length, 9.5 ; 

 breadth, 3.3 mm. 



" Allied to T. lineata, Dej., but I have thought it best not to 

 regard it as conspecitie with that sp. owing to tlie foilcnving difier- 

 ences from Chaudoir's description of T. lineata (Bull. Mosc. III., 

 1877, p. 222) : — Size larger ; prothorax with disc black ; prothorax 



1 Lemidia cicatricosa, iiigrovaria and simsoni.
