2 Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabidse. 



ChJcenius {Homalolachnus) sexguttatus, £ . 



Length 14 mm. ; width 5*5 mm. 



Black. Clypeus blue-green, head dark copper-red with 

 metallic green margins ; prothorax black, with faint blue 

 and green reflections round front angles; elytra blue-black ; 

 labium, front of front femora, outer margin of front and inter- 

 mediate tibia?, and three spots on each elytron flavous ; first 

 three joints of antenna? and apex of palpi reddish. Upper 

 surface of prothorax and elytra with a short yellowish 

 pubescence. 



Head small, convex, labrum and clypeus smooth, frontal 

 fovea? obsolete, a punctiform impression on each side of front 

 adjoining clypeus ; surface irregularly punctate, more coarsely 

 behind, some fine punctures mingled with the larger ones ; 

 eyes moderately prominent. 



Prothorax convex, narrow, very nearly as long as wide, 

 nearly half as wide again as head, sides uniformly rounded, a 

 little more contracted in front than behind, angles obtuse and 

 rounded, a seta on margin at a fifth from base ; median line 

 deep, not reaching extremities, other impressions obsolete ; 

 surface very coarsely and confidently punctate. 



Elytra elongate-ovate, half as wide again as prothorax, and 

 nearly three times as long, punctate-striate, intervals mode- 

 rately convex, each with two series of umbilicate punctures, 

 surface dull ; front spot very small, elongate, adjoining 

 shoulder, intermediate spot larger, triangular, extending over 

 intervals 4-9 and tapering inwards, hind spot at a fifth from 

 apex, irregularly rounded, extending over same intervals. 



Underside shiny, slightly iridescent, coarsely but not 

 closely punctate, ventral surface smooth in middle, finely and 

 sparsely punctate at sides; prosternal process not margined 

 at apex, pilose, metepisterna as long as wide ; upper surface 

 of tarsi sparsely pilose. 



The species resembles C. panagceoides, Chaud., and is about 

 the same size. The eyes are more prominent, prothorax 

 narrower, more convex, more contracted behind, and with a 

 deeper median line. The presence of a shoulder-spot on the 

 elytra at once distinguishes the new species ; the other spots 

 are rather smaller and extend inwards to stria 3 only, whereas 

 in C. panagceoides they extend to stria 2 and sometimes to 

 stria 1.
