appears to be similar, closely punctured in front, im- 
pressed and much less rugosely punctured behind. The 
thorax in front is a little narrower than the head across 
the eyes, obliquely narrowed for a short distance, and 
then considerably dilated, the dilated part terminating 
posteriorly in a very acute point, which is slightly turned 
outwards. There is a deep fovea occupying the area of 
the anterior angle, and two deep impressions on the disk,

only divided by a slight ridge. There are two small 
impressions on the margin of the dilated part. The elytra 
are strongly and closely punctured, except at the extreme 
apex. The humeral part of the elytron is produced into 
a conical tooth, which projects somewhat over the base of 
the thorax, fitting into the space between the dilatation 
of the sides and the base of the thorax. ‘The tibiz are 
only shghtly widened towards the apex; the anterior 
pair are slightly bent inwards at the apex, with a distinct 
pubescent emargination on the inner side, occupying 
about half the length of the tibia. 
The structure of the antennz and the emargination of 
the anterior tibize are very like what is seen in a Central- 
American Carabid, which is, I believe, Ozena brevicornis, 
Bates. 
Mr. Walker informs me that he found two specimens 
on ‘‘Mount Combe,” thirty miles 8.E. of Ning-po, 
China, by sweeping long grass at an elevation of 
1600 feet, June 2nd, 1892.
