450 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabide. 
Head rather wide (about 1:5 mm.), impressions between 
eyes deep and confluent behind, with a few fine oblique strize 
on sides of front, smooth behind. Antenne long, reaching 
very nearly to middle of elytra; joint 1 long and thick, 
tapering at both ends, obliquely truncate at extremity, a single 
bristle on inner side at widest point, joints 2-4 tuberculate, 
a strong bristle arising from each tubercle, joints 5-7 with 
some bristles at apex; joint 2=5, 4 a little longer, 3 twice 
as long as 2, the remainder a little longer than 3. 
Prothorax (about 2‘0 mm. wide) convex, widest at middle, 
slightly emarginate at extremities, a little more contracted 
behind than in front ; sides regularly rounded, with reflexed 
margin, front angles rounded, hind angles obtuse but not 
much rounded; median line and hind transverse impression 
well marked, the front one and the little pit on sides of disk 
in front only faintly indicated ; surface smooth, base punctate. 
Elytra elongate-oval, very nearly twice as long as wide, 
shoulders very oblique, moderately striate, the striz finely but 
not very conspicuously punctate, intervals slightly convex ; 
three large punctures on interval 4, at a fourth, a half, and 
three-fourths from base, two similar punctures on interval 7 
at a third and two-thirds from base. Episterna of meso- and 
metasternum, and sides of the latter, also sides of the ventral 
surface at base coarsely but not very closely punctate ; 
proepisterna punctate at base and apex. 
About the same size as L. pilicornis, F., but nearly black, 
tibia and tarsi darker, antenve lighter. Antenne much 
thicker and with longer bristles, first joint larger and longer ; 
prothorax with the little pits near front angles much less 
evident ; elytra with more sloping shoulders, less evidently 
punctured striz, and with two large punctures on interval 7 ; 
proepisterna punctate in front. ‘he position of the punctures 
on intervals 4 and 7 is almost exactly as in L. 10-punctata 
Kselisch.

Mr. Stevens has kindly allowed me to retain the type in my 
collection, 
Lorocera aparupa, sp. n. 
Length 9:0 mm.; width 3:0 mm. 
As the above description applies in great measure to this 
species also, I give below the points in which it differs. 
Size larger and form rather wider. Black without greenish 
tinge. Head with much smaller and shallower frontal fovee. 
Protlorax more transverse, hind angles a little rounded, the
