290 Mr. H. EB. Andrewes on Oriental Carabide. 
more irregular on 5), of moderate size, but very clearly 
defined, 12 or 15 in number, a similar series on interval 9, 
adjoining stria 8, widely interrupted in middle, and an 
uninterrupted row of smaller punctures along marginal 
channel ; surface nearly smooth, very silky in appearance, 
with two irregular rows of almost imperceptible punctures 
along each interval. 
Very different from any other species known to me. 
Longer and narrower than D. amana, Dej., with dark legs 
and antennze ; head and prothorax without trace of metallic 
green. Head with clypeus less emarginate; prothorax with 
sides more evenly rounded, the disk smoother; elytra longer, 
narrower, more parallel, the seriate punctures much larger. 
Tonkin: Tranninh. Annam: Hué, Muong Sen, and 
Keng Trap (R. Vitalis de Salvaza), The type is in the 
British Museum. 
A solitary example in the British Museum labelled 
‘“‘Halupahani, Haldummulle, Ceylon,” differs only from 
the typical form in having the tibize light red instead of 
very dark red. 
Dioryche clara, sp. n. 
Length 7°5-8°5 mm. ; width 2:75-3:25 mm. 
Upper surface of a brilliant brassy hue, beneath black 
with faint seneous reflections ; buccal organs and legs 
piceous, joint 1 of antennz and apex of palpi red. 
Head convex, wide (1:75 mm.), with fairly prominent eyes, 
clypeus moderately emarginate in front, the suture very 
clearly marked, surface nearly smooth, some scattered 
punctures at sides and on clypeus. Prothorar transverse 
(1°8 x 2°6 mm.), moderately convex, widest a little before 
middle, contracted more in front than behind, base gently 
bisinuate, bordered at sides, apex slightly emarginate, sides 
finely bordered, rounded in frout, then straight to the base, 
a pore and seta at apical third, hind angles slightly obtuse, 
but very little rounded; median line fine and very short, 
on middle of disk, basal foveze small and rounded; apex 
moderately, base closely and rather finely punctate, disk and 
sides with a few small punctures. Elylra (3:1 x 4°5 mm.) 
convex, rounded at sides, widest a little behind middle, the 
fine border rather strongly sinuate near apex; strie fine, but 
clearly cut, impunctate, scutellary striole very short, joining 
2 at base, intervals 3-5-7 rather wider than the others, 
especially towards apex, and seriately punctate, chiefly, but 
not wholly, along strize 2-4-6 respectively, the punctures
