and on some Types of Oriental Carabidae. 183 
Not unlike C. frater Chaud., but narrower, and with elytra more 
pointed behind, prothorax with slightly obtuse hind angles, punc- 
tures fewer and not quite so coarse, elytra not so finely punctate 
and consequently shinier. 
Cryton: Kandy (G. Lewis) 3 ex. gf. The type is in 
the British Museum. 
Pogonoglossus truncatus, sp. n. Length 9°5 mm. 
Pogonoglossus validicornis {Bates (not Chaud.), Ann. 
Mus. Civ. Gen., 1892, 388. 
Libresthis truncata Schm.-Goeb. Faun. Col. Birm., 1846, 
t. 2, f. 4 (fig. only). 
Pitchy: legs testaceous red; joints 1-3 of antennae, palpi, side 
margin of prothorax, and ventral surface dull red. Body (except 
neck) clothed with short yellowish pubescence. 
Head (2:0 mm. wide) shiny, moderately convex, with two deep 
foveae on front, neck very strongly constricted, genae bituberculate, 
sharply contracted behind, surface finely punctate at sides and 
behind, sparsely on vertex. Prothorax transverse (2-0 x 2-3 mm.), 
cordate, emarginate at apex, widest at a third from apex; sides 
strongly rounded in front, sinuate at some distance from base, 
with which they form a right angle, front angles a little advanced 
but not acute, lateral margins explanate and reflexed, strongly so 
at hind angles; median line and basal foveae well marked, surface 
moderately and a little irregularly punctate. Hlytra (3-5 x 5:5 
mm.) elongate, parallel, depressed at a third from base, truncate 
at apex, outer angles of truncature and shoulders strongly marked 
but rounded, apex with membranous border, crenulate-striate, 
intervals flat on disk, more convex at sides, finely but not very 
closely punctate, 3 tripunctate, 9 seriate-punctate, with some large 
umbilicate pores behind shoulders, from which and from others 
along sides issue a few very long fine hairs. 
In P. validicornis Chaud., the prothorax is small, with 
quite inconspicuous angles, and the genae have a single 
tubercle. 
The type, which is in my collection, is one of the examples 
taken by Mr. Fea at Meetan, Tenasserim. The species has 
also been taken by Mr. R. Vitalis de Salvaza at Hoabinh 
in Tonkin, and at various localities in Laos.
