4 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabida?. 



at apex, pro-episterna moderately punctate on inner side, 

 metepisterna longer than wide, moderately punctate, with a 

 groove near outer margin. Front femora ( $ ) without trace of 

 tooth ; tarsi glabrous on upper surface. 



Closely allied to C. neelgheriensis, Guer., but differing in 

 the absence of a tooth on the front femora (J); antennas 

 more slender, prothorax wider, more coarsely punctate, the 

 punctures more uniformly distributed on disk, not so closely 

 crowded together at base, both pro- and metepisterna with 

 more numerous punctures.
