282 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidee. 
transverse on neck, two supraorbital pores, labrum small, 
moderately emarginate (for the genus), clypeus deeply 
emarginate, exposing basal membrane of labrum. 
Prothorax a little transverse (5°75 x 7-0 mm.), contracted 
much more in front than behind, base bisinuate with oblique 
sides, apex emarginate, sides evenly rounded, not sinuate 
behind, with a well-marked border, slightly reflexed, increas- 
ing in thickness from apex to base, hind angles obtuse and a~ 
little rounded, basal foveze obsolescent behind, but forming 
in front two deep punctures, at some distance from base, 
surface covered with faint transverse striz, longitudinal 
along middle of base and apex; lobes of mentum rounded at 
apex, a pair of sete at the middle of the emargination, a 
distinct sinus between the apex of ligula and the paraglosse, 
right mandible with a strong tooth at middle, left one 
edentate. 
Elytra (10°0x 15-0 mm.) rather flat, very slightly dilated 
behind, border rounded at shoulder but not crenulate, striz 
fine but sharply incised, with numerous fine but distinct 
punctures, a well-marked scutellary striole, intervals slightly 
convex, faintly shiny along median line, 9 and marginal 
channel finely rugose. 
Underside nearly smooth, metepisterna finely rugose- 
punctate, sides of venter finely strigose. On the last seg- 
ment in the ¢ there are two sete on each side close together ; 
in the ? there are three on each side, two close together 
(asin @), and athird near apex (in one of the three ? 9 
there are four setz on each side). 
Allied to D. zeelandica, Redt., but slightly larger. Head 
with thicker antennez; prothorax wider, much more con- 
tracted in front, sides without trace of sinuation behind, 
border thicker behind, basal fovez similar but deeper; elytra 
with much finer and more clearly punctured striz, intervals
