Species of Carabidee from South Africa. 3d 
Gory, which is, however, considerably smaller, 35-38 mm. 
long and 12-123 mm. wide, and is described—for I have 
not seen it—as having the elytral striae deep from base to 
apex, with the intervals raised and the three outer ones 
subcarinate, which is certainly not the case with the four 
examples of g ganteus that I have before me. The humeral 
angles in my species are sharply dentate and relative to 
other species of the genus; these dentitions cannot be 
described as small (vide vol. vii. p. 393, Trans. S.A. Phil. 
Soc. 1896). Further, the head and prothorax of dogueraut 
are stated to be proportionately the same as those of rugosus. 
Compared with rugosus the head and prothorax of giganteus 
are relatively appreciably more transverse, especially the 
former. 
Hab. Namaqualand: Port Nolloth. Plentiful in sand- 
burrows, feste H. D. Stanton, who collected them. 
Tribe PaNaGa&INt. 
Microcosmus elegans, sp. 0. 
Length 8 mm.; width 34 mm. 
Black, shining, sparsely pubescent, lateral margins of 
prothorax and four patches or spots (two on either side) 
on the elytra orange-yellow ; labrum and first two joints 
of antenne glabrous, testaceous red, the remaining joints of 
the latter pubescent, piceous, more or less reddish at bases 
of articulations ; palpi pale reddish testaceous, the terminal 
joints more or less darkened basally. 
Legs orauge-yellow. 
Head and prothorax shining, densely scrobiculate-punctate, 
with a long sparse pubescence ; antennz and palpi elongate, 
the former slender, filiform, reaching to below middle of 
elytra, third joint longer than the fourth, the latter with all 
the terminal joimts securiform. 
Prothorax transverse, at apex confluent with neck, 
broadly ampliated to a little beyond middle, and thence 
somewhat abruptly and sinuately contracted and reflexed to 
the posterior angles, which are sharply right, narrowly 
margined from a little below apex and gradually widening 
into a broad orange-yellow border to base; base truncate, 
twice as wide as apex, the median groove and lateral fovee 
vaguely defined. 
Elytra truncated and declivous at base, shoulders squarely 
rounded, twice as wide as prothorax at base, moderately 
convex, sides subparallel for about two-thirds the length,
