452 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabide. 
reception of the first four joints of the antenna, and then a 
pitted space of about equal width, corresponding with the 
paragene. Prothorax strongly transverse, quadrate, pedun- 
culate, central part longitudinally raised, projecting in front 
into an indentation of head, with base emarginate and bi- 
tuberculate above peduncle: sides explanate and hollowed 
out, three or four large, transverse, shallow pits arranged 
longitudinally along them, bounded inwardly by a fine ridge: 
scutellum very small, situated on the peduncle. lytra 
tricarinate, base truncate, emarginate in middle, with small 
projections on each side of the emargination, resulting from 
extensions of the first carina, shoulders sharply rectangular, 
apex slightly truncate, the sutural angles just showing as a 
faint projection: outer carina forming the apparent margin, 
the real margin, inflexed, and invisible from above, separated 
from it by a shallow channel. Underside deeply pitted : 
epipleuree of prosternum wide in front, narrowed behind, 
undulating in correspondence with the transverse pits on 
upper surface: intercoxal process bordered, narrowed between 
coxee, and widened out horizontally behind, the border con- 
tinued obliquely forward in front across the prosternum, which 
is finely carinate down the central line: a deep bordered 
channel between epipleure and prosternum for reception of 
antenne, episterna shagreened and forming (as seen from 
beneatl:) the base of the antennal channel in front, but visible 
_ behind, where the channel widens out: mesepimera (appa- 
rently) reaching coxal cavities: metasternum channelled, the 
episterna long, narrow, and channelled behind: margins of 
ventral segments curving backwards at sides, penultimate 
and antepenultimate segments each with a deep, pitted trans- 
verse sulcus, apical segment with a setiferous pore at margin 
on each side. Legs short: front femora dilated, channelled 
beneath, tibize with two inconspicuous teeth below terminal 
one, tarsi minute, joint 1 as long as the rest together: mid- 
femora channelled beneath, with a tooth near base, tibiz 
slender, finely spinose, without trace of spur: hind coxe just 
meeting; claws minute. ‘There are fully developed wings 
beneath the elytra. 
The usual setze to be seen on various parts of the body in 
the Carabidee are almost entirely wanting, with the exception 
of those on the labrum, last segment of ventral surface, and 
legs, but the cleansing of the specimens must to some extent 
be responsible for this, and fresh material is required for 
examination. 
The remarkable feature in this new genus is the presence 
of antennal grooves on the underside, not only of the head,
