Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidee. 477 
The upshot of the above is that pennsylvanica and its 
Eastern allies are at present, according to my view, without 
a genus. My lack of knowledge of American Carabidze 
prevents me from proposing a new genus for pennsylvanica, 
but I think that its elongate head, bordered prothorax, and 
the smooth apical area of the elytra separate it generically 
from all the Kastern species known to me. For some of the 
latter I propose the new genus Arame, though this will not 
include all of them. The type of this genus is described 
further on under the name of A. macra. 
ARAME, gen. nov. 
Ligula short, fairly wide, truncate in front, a little areuate 
in ceutre, quadrisetose, the two inner setee much longer than 
the outer ones; paraglossee linear, membranous, free, 
glabrous, curving inwards, and rather longer than the ligula, 
Mentum with a short fairly sharp tooth in the emargination, 
about half as long as the lobes; epilobes evident, projecting 
in front of the lobes in the form of an acute tooth. 
Maxillze sharp, hooked at tip, with a row of strong bristles 
on inner side. Maxillary palpi glabrous, joints 2 and 4 half 
as long again as 3; last joint a little inflated, tapering and 
truncate at extremity. Labial palpi glabrous, except for the 
two set on inner margin of penultimate joint; joints equal, 
last one as in maxillaries. 
Mandibles short, a small tooth on the right one at about 
middle, none on left, without seta in scrobe. 
Antenne reaching beyond base of thorax, first three joints 
glabrous, joint 1 inflated, with only one seta, joint 2 very 
short, joint 3=1, rest a little longer. 
Kyes moderately prominent, a little removed from buceal 
fissure. 
Labrum truncate, sexsetose. 
Head subglobose, much inflated behind eyes, with two 
supraorbital setae, strongly constricted behind, condyliform. 
Prothorax subglobose, lateral margins obsolete or indicated 
by a very fine line only, 
Elytra fully striate, but strize generally becoming faint 
towards apex. Odd intervals—or, at least, interval 3—with 
some setiferous pores. 
Last ventral seginent in ¢ with one, in 2 with two seti- 
ferous pores on each side; in the g the margin is distinetly 
notehed, in the @ only faintly so. 
Tarsi smooth on upper surface, joint 4 entire but emar- 
ginate, joint 5 very long, with seta beneath; in the hind legs
