Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidee. 479 
glabrous, unbordered, metepisterna three times as long as 
wide. 
Very closely allied to A. hwmorrhoidalis, Motsch., if I have 
correctly determined that species, but the latter has the head 
less narrowly constricted, the back of the head (behind the 
level of hind margin of eyes) quite smooth, and only three 
or four setiferous pores on interval 3, none on 5 or 7. Bates 
thought that Aemorrhoidalis had pores on interval 5 as well 
as on 3 (vide Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, p. 382). 
Ceylon, Colombo, on coast-level, 7-27. ix. 1882 (G. Lewis). 
Other specimens taken in Ceylon by Dr. ‘Thwaites. Type 
in British Museum. The specimens taken by Mr. Lewis 
are those determined by Bates, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) 
xvii. 1886, p. 199, as Casnonia hemorrhoidalis, Motsch. 
I cannot at present give more than a provisional list of 
the species which appear to belong to this genus. ‘The list is 
as follows:—A. macra (type), albicolon, Bates, celebensi's, 
Gestro, bimaculata, Schm. Goeb. (distigma, Chaud.), flavi- 
cauda, Bates, fusctpennis, Chaud., graciliceps, Bates, hemor- 
rhoidalis, Motsch., latifascta, Chaud., litura, Schm. Goeb., 
metallica, Vairm., punctata, Nietn., subapicalis, Oberthi., 
tetraspilota, Schm. Goeb., virgulifera, Chaud., vanthe, Bates.

shorter, truncate at apex. 
Mandibles short, hooked and pointed at apex, without seta
