Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidse. 405 



rather short, of varying form, apical joint often dilated, pen- 

 ultimate joint of labials bi- or plurisetose. Mention deeply 

 emarginate, with a long slender tooth, lobes also sharp, elon- 

 gate, and nearly always a little longer than tooth, base (and 

 generally also surface) of tootli setose, epilobes narrow. 

 Labrum porrect, smooth and shiny, sexsetose, generally 

 rather pointed in front, with rounded apex. Mandibles short 

 and wide, more or less toothed near base, sharp at apex, outer 

 sides minutely setose at base, a row of seta; along and within 

 upper margin of scrobe (in all species dissected), a longitudinal 

 ridge running along the underside, parallel with inner margin 

 and generally densely fringed with minute set?e. Antennce 

 reaching approximately middle of body, closely pubescent 

 from joint 5, joint 4 more pubescent than 4-3, joints generally 

 flattened towards apex, the apical joint longer than the 

 pif apical ones and rounded at extremity; joint 2 sometimes 

 constricted near base; joints 5-44 with a narrow smooth 

 median channel along the middle of each flattened side. 

 Head with two supraorbital seta?, antennas arising beneath 

 frontal plates, eyes prominent, enclosed behind by more or 

 less dilated gense. Prothorax truneate-cordiform, middle of 

 base produced (as in Lebia, though to a less extent), two 

 tactile setaj on each side, one just before middle, the other at 

 hind angle (owing to the general pubescence these are not 

 always easily seen). Elytra with base bordered at sides 

 only, flat, shortly pedunculate, stria 8 almost obsolete, interval 

 8 usually wide, 9 with a hardly interrupted row of umbilicate 

 pores, both 8 and 9 closely and irregularly punctate, apex 

 truncate, with a membranous margin, pygidiuin and generally 

 part of propygidium uncovered (I cannot detect any specialized 

 setae on interval 3). Metepisterna elongate and very narrow. 

 Tarsi pubescent above, joint 4 emarginate; front tarsi $ with 

 four joints hardly dilated, with two rows of small scales 

 beneath. 



The whole body and its members coarsely punctate and 

 pubescent, the only glabrous parts being the labrum, middle 

 of front (more or less), and generally the middle of head 

 beneath and of sterna. Wings are present.
