408 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidee. 
lightly sinuate behind, a well-marked border along front 
margin and sides, narrowly reflexed and slightly crenulate 
along latter, visible only at sides of base, front angles in- 
conspicuous, hind ones rather sharply rounded, projecting 
downwards and backwards ; median line well-marked, basal 
fovez rudimentary, surface coarsely and confluently rugose- 
punctate, a little less closely on front of disk. 
Elytra (7°5 x 125 mm.) elongate-ovate, convex, sides 
rather strongly rounded, contracted towards base, widest at 
about three-fifths from base, shoulders rounded, border 
narrow and very slightly reflexed, without sinuation before 
apex; striz faintly punctured, three primary intervals, each 
with about ten punctures, of same width as intervals, a 
minute tubercle in front of each puncture, secondary and 
tertiary intervals of equal width, their evenness broken by 
slight ill-defined tubercles and depressions, a little narrower 
than primaries, apical fourth very irregularly sculptured 
and, with the sides, including marginal channel, minutely 
tuberculate. 
On the underside the prosternal process is wide and flat, 
the mesosternum deeply hollowed in middle, the metepi- 
sterna a little wider than long, and the ventral segments 
with only a vestige of a border. In the front tarsi (3) 
there are four dilated joints. 
Of specialized setz there are:—one on each side of the 
labrum, and a row of 8 along the front margin, one on each 
side of the clypeus and one supraorbital, none beneath the 
head; two marginal at each side of prothorax, one at apical 
third and the second at some little distance before hind 
angle; ventral seginents with one on each side of median 
line, apical segment on each side with one marginal towards 
base, and 2(¢), 3 (2), near apex; hind coxe with two, 
one behind the other, intermediate tibiz thickly clothed 
externally with reddish hairs. 
At first sight not unlike C. indicus, Fairm., but the head 
and prothorax much more coarsely sculptured, and the sides 
of the elytra more rounded. Head much wider, eyes less 
prominent, joint 4 of antenne much shorter and _ thicker, 
and (like 3) constricted at base; prothorax quadrate, 
flatter, hind angles widely rounded ; elytra more regularly 
striate, without minute irregular raised lines between the 
main intervals, margin without trace of sinuation before 
apex. The elytra are very much like those of C. wallichi, 
Hope, but the striz in the latter are more regular and more 
evenly disposed, without any minute tubercles except near 
the apex.
