Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidee. 409 
Sikkim: Gnatong and “beyond Jalep,’ ¢ 2. Iam 
indebted to Mr. René Oberthiir for examples of this new 
species, 
Carabus wallichi, Hope, Zool. Misc. 1831, p. 21. 
In commenting on this species (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 
1919, p. 171), I pointed out that the type agreed with the 
description -of C. indicus, Fairm. I was not at that time 
aware of the paper published by Dr. Roeschke in the volume 
for 1900 of ‘ Entomologische Nachrichten.’ In this he says 
quite rightly (p. 59) that the quaternary intervals in C. 
wallichi are wanting, and he puts down indicus as a variety. 
Having now seen the type of Fairmaire’s species, I agree 
with Dr. Roeschke, and indeed there are differences which 
Fairmaire’s description hardly brings out. In C. wallichi 
the prothorax, instead of being finely rugose-punctate, is 
rather coarsely, though shallowly, punctate; the elytra are 
wider and more rounded at the sides, widest behind middle, 
the striz distinctly crenulate, the intervals considerably 
wider, and the so-called quaternary intervals entirely 
wanting. I have seen no other example of Carabus from 
Nepal. 
Reitter says of the subgenus Meganebrius, Kraatz (‘ Be- 
stimmungs-Tabelle der europadischen Coleopteren, Carabini,’ 
1896, pp. 191-2), in which C. indicus, Fairm., is placed, 
“ prothorax in front with at least two, generally with three 
lateral sete.”? I am unable to confirm this from my own 
observation ; I have in my collection a single example with 
two setz close together on each side, but in ail the other 
examples I have seen from Sikkim there has been only one. 
In C. wallichi the sete have disappeared, and owing to the 
general puncturation I cannot now determine how many 
original setiferous pores (if any) there may have been.
