300 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidse. 



small sharp excision just behind the outer angle of the 

 truncature, followed by a raised tooth; a longitudinal de- 

 pression at sides on each elytron ; surface shiny, smooth, 

 uneven at sides, with scattered shallow punctures, and a 

 slight raised pubescence. 



Smaller than E. japonica, Bates ; prothorax less trans- 

 verse, sides less rounded in front, reflexed border much 

 narrower, more strongly dentate; elytra narrower, more 

 parallel, smoother, less punctate and pubescent, infuscate 

 patches larger. 



W. Sarawak, Mount Matang, 16.i.U and l.ii.14 (G. E. 

 Bryant), 3 ex. The type is in my collection ; a co-type is 

 in the British Museum. 



Eustra bryanti, sp. n. 



Length 6'0 mm. ; width 2*5 mm. 



Brown ; edges and apex of mandibles black, ventral surface 

 fuscous, margins of the segments golden-yellow. 



Head (l'O mm. wide) convex, smooth, shiny, finely cari- 

 nate at sides; labrum 10-setose ; neck slightly constricted 

 behind eyes, hardly narrowed behind. 



Prothorax transverse (1*8 x 1*3 mm), strongly contracted 

 in front, widest at middle (but practically as wide at base) ; 

 base truncate, a little oblique at sides; apex deeply emargi- 

 nate (as in the genus Sfitakantha), sides widely reflexed, 

 rounded in front and faintly sinuate before base, border 

 almost imperceptibly crenulate ; front angles porrect, em- 

 bracing head, hind angles right, transverse impressions — 

 especially the hind one, which terminates at each end in a 

 shallow fovea — and median line well marked ; surface shiny 

 but uneven, very sparsely and minutely pubescent, covered 

 with a number of dark spots, which look like punctures. 



Elytra two and a half times as long as prothorax, shoul- 

 ders square, disk convex, margin explanate and reflexed as 

 far as the lateral incision, a re-entrant angle at apex, sides 

 moderately compressed ; surface shiny, strongly granulate- 

 punctate and pubescent, more sparsely on disk ; sides 

 roughly shagreened. 



The joints of the front tarsi, which are very short and 

 hairy and decrease gradually in size from base, do not appear 

 to otter any sexual characters. 



Distinguished at once from the other described species of 

 the genus by its much larger size, front margin of labium 

 10-setose, and the deeply emarginate apex of the prothorax.
