Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidee. 283 
male specimen taken by Mr. L. Fea at Kawkareet, though 
short, is exact, except in one particular, the emargination 
of the labrum and clypeus being much shallower than in 
D. polita, Bates (not F. = perscissa, Andr.). I may add 
that there is a single supraorbital seta. The lobes of the 
mentum have a rounded tooth at apex, formed by an expan- 
sion of the epilobes, and on the margin of the sinus there 
are two long sete. Between the apex of the narrow ligula 
and the paraglosse there is hardly any indentation, the 
Jatter being adnate, but extending considerably beyond the 
ligula. The right mandible has a simple, the left one a 
double, tooth at about middle. In this species, D. polita, F., 
and D. perscissa, Andr., the form of the buccal organs 
(excluding labrum) is almost exactly the same. This also 
applies to the elytral border behind the shoulder, which is 
distinctly, though minutely, crenulate, interval 9 at this 
point being reduced to a series of small tubercles. 
In Mr. Fleutiaux’s collection there are examples from Long 
Xuyen in Cochin-China (Dorr) aud from Saigon ; another 
specimen from Cochin-China is in the Brussels Museum ; 
in the Paris Museum are examples from Hanoi in ‘Tonkin 
(Dr. Wiet and V. Laboissiére), Laos (Harmand), Cochin- 
China (Julien and Lemesle), and Siam (Pavie, Bocourt, and 
Larnaudie) ; in the British Museum are specimens, some 
differing from the type in minor points, from Bangkok in 
Siam (S. S. Flower), Malacca (Castelnau), Silam in N. 
Borneo, Lampong in Sumatra (Buxton), and Japan. 
Numerous specimens have lately been taken by Mr. R. 
Vitalis de Salvaza at various localities in Laos, Tonkin, and 
Cambodia, 
In addition to the above, I have seen examples from Java 
in the collections of the British, Paris, and Brussels 
Museums, and have others in my own collection. These 
are larger than the typical form, and have a distinctly wider 
prothorax. Similar examples, however, occur in Indo- 
China, and, as dissection reveals no differences in the buccal 
organs, I regard them as belonging to this species.
