Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. Loncl., 1873, p. 232 ; Lewis, 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1882 p. 526. 



Limited to a comparatively small area, and then 

 occurring only at considerable elevations. The head- 

 quarters of it are in the Idzu Province, but Mr. Lewis 

 has specimens from Oyayama, near Kumamoto, in 

 Kiushiu. 



It is agreed to be a mountain variety of the southern 

 form of C. Albrechti. 



Var. Minor et angustior. Long. 20 mm. 



Hakone. 



Carabus Gehinii, Fairmaire (var. C. grandis, PI. XIII., 



fig. 3). 

 Fairmaire, Petites Nouvelles Entom., vol. ii., p. 37 

 (1876) ; Waterhouse, Aid to Identif. of Ins., part 16 

 (Jan., 1883). 



A male example obtained at Sapporo, Yezo, is figured by 

 Waterhouse as above cited ; a large female, also obtained 

 by Mr. Lewis, differs from the male in its broader thorax, 

 and the raised elytral striaB being interrupted by punc- 

 tures. This he has provisionally named C. grandis. 



Carabus tuberculatus, Fischer and authors. 



Occurs on the mountains in S. Japan, and is common 

 in the streets of Sapporo, nearly at sea-level. 



This species, already recorded from Japan, I here 

 add simply to complete the enumeration of the species 

 now known from Japan of the genus Carabus. They 

 are now twenty-one in number. 



Damasier blapto'ides, Koll. 



According to Mr. Lewis, in the excellent account he 

 has given of the distribution of the species of Damaster 

 (in Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xvii., 1880, p. 159), D. blaptdides 

 is confined to Kiushiu, in Southern Japan. 



Var. Lewisi, Eye. 



On Shimabara, near Nagasaki, and at Hiogo ; a half- 

 starved form, so to speak, of D. blapto'ides (G. Lewis).
