Mr. IT. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidae. 5 



( S ) without tooth ; upper surface of tarsi very sparsely 

 pilose. 



I know of no other species with which to compare this. 

 According to Chaudoir's table it would come near C. abstersus, 

 Bates, from which it is widely different. 



Bombay, Belgaum. 



The type (c?), a unique specimen, is in ray collection. I 

 find from my notes that I took it in July 18S6. 



Chlcenius chapanus, $ ? . 



Length 13-14 mm. ; width 4' 25-4* 75 mm. 



Black ; head and prothorax metallic green, side-margins 

 of latter dark green-blue ; legs, antennas, and palpi dark red; 

 apex of palpi and an apical spot on each elytron red-yellow. 



Head (2*25 mm. wide) shiny, convex, closely and finely 

 punctate, the punctures of varying sizes, vertex smoother, 

 finely rugose ; eyes moderately prominent, palpi slender but 

 short, joint 3 of antennae practically glabrous, hardly longer 

 than 4. 



Prothorax transverse (3x2*75 mm.), subcordate, rather 

 flat, truncate at extremities, sides gently rounded, slightly 

 sinuate before hind angles, which are about right, though 

 rounded, border very fine, reflexed near hind angles ; median 

 line fine, not reaching extremities, basal fovece elongate, 

 fairly deep, surface moderately shiny, closely, more or less 

 confluently, but not very coarsely punctate, more sparsely 

 on disk at each side of median line, pubescence rather long 

 though not obvious. 



Elytra (about 8*5 mm. long) elongate, nearly parallel, 

 border rounded at shoulders, rather strongly sinuate before 

 apex, punctulate-striate, intervals flat, the whole surface very 

 finely aciculate-punctate, the punctures transversely confluent, 

 covered with a rather long though not dense yellowish pubes- 

 cence ; the yellowish spot at a fourth from apex, irregularly 

 transverse, covering striae 3-8. 



Underside sparsely punctate, nearly glabrous, prosternal 

 process bordered, metepistema elongate, with a groove along 

 outer margin, along with metasternum, and sides of ventral 

 surface at base coarsely but not closely punctate. Fiont 

 femora ( <$ ) without tooth ; tarsi pubescent on upper surface, 

 joints 1-3 of front tarsi (<£) strongly dilated. 



Allied to C. tetragonoderus, Chaud. ; eyes less prominent , 

 antennae much longer, prothorax narrower, much more con- 

 tracted behind, mo;e coarsely and closely punctate, elytra —
