interstices, I can detect, however, no other difference. The species 
is distinguished by the distinct and rather sharp punctuation of the 
whole upper surface, including the head with the epistome and the 
disk of the thorax. On the elytra where the pubescence is denuded, 
the punctures 2ppear under the lens as cireular foveæ. The size 
varies from 10 to 11 1/2 millim. 
Harpalus Indicus, Chaudoir, M.S. 
1. calceato (Dufts.) et 7. japonico (Moraw.) affinis; differt 
thorace angulis posticis obtusis ete. Minus elongato-oblongus, niger 
nitidus, palpis antennis et pedibus rufo-testaceis. Caput lævissimum, 
sutura frontali fortiter impressa, utrinque in foveolam profundam 
terminata. Thorax transversus, antice rotundatus, postice subcur- 
vatim mediocriter angustatus, angulis posticis obtusis distinctis sed 
interdum apice rotundatis; lævis, basi utrinque depresso ruguloso 
punctulato, medio Iævi. Elytra mediocriter elongata, toto fortiter 
striata, interstitiis paullo convexis, 3i° et 7° apice absque punctis, 
sed 8*° et 9% sparsim punctulatis. Tarsi postici articulis 1-2 longi- 
tudine æqualibus ; tibiæ anticæ caleari apicali basi utrinque obtuse 
late dentatæ. — Long. 11-13 millim. 
Konbir; Tetara. 
The same species oceurs in N. W. India, in the hills of Assam, 
and on the Yang tsze Kiang; but as a variety, with the hind 
thoracic angles less obtuse. 
Harpalus praticola, Chaud., M.S. 
1. indicola (Bates, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 714) proxime affinis, 
et quoad formam simillimus. Minor et differt colore nigro-æneo, 
utroque sexu polito etc. Oblongus, convexus, nigro-æneus, politus, 
palpis, antennis, tibiis, tarsis et trochanteribus plus minusve clare 
fulvo-testaceis. Caput mediocre, læve, foveis frontalibus profundis 
suturaque frontali utrinque a fovea usque ad mandibulam conti- 
nuata. Thorax transversim quadratas, antice rotundatus, postice 
subrecte mediocriter angustatus, angulis posticis paullulum obtusis, 
fovea utrinque basali profunda et cum basi extus punctata. Elytra 
striata, interstitiis planis politissimis, 3° unipunctato; apice sat 
profunde sinuata. Metasternum lateribus punctatis. — Long. 8-9 
millim. 4Q. 
Konbir. Also Kulu, N. W. India. 
An example of this species which I possess from North India 
bears a label « 77. praticola inédit », in Chaudoirs's handwriting. 
IT. indicola of which I have only QQ (the single G example having 
been returned to the Calcutta Museum) is larger, the elytra (Q) 
sericeo-opake, black, and the legs wholly black or piceous-black. 
The amount of punctuation on the sides of the metathorax and 
basal segment of the abdomen varies in both species.
