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



square ; surface shiny, the striae vaguely indicated by rows 

 of faint punctures, glabrous on disk, but with several seti- 

 ferous pores on intervals 3 and 5, shortly pubescent at sides 

 and apex, where the surface is finely granulate, a row of 

 umbilicate setiferous pores along margin. 



Underside finely granulate, nearly smooth along median 

 line, sparsely punctate and pubescent, more obviously so on 

 last ventral segment. 



S.E. Borneo: Martapura, 1891 (Doherty), 2 ex. British 

 Museum. 



Dhanya parallela, sp. n. 



Length 4*0 mm. ; width 1*5 mm. 



Testaceous ; head, prothorax, and antennas red ; elytra 

 with an ill-defined blackish area, covering- the middle third 

 of each elytron, wider outwardly, but not quite reaching 

 either margin or suture ; ventral surface fuscous. 



Head convex (0"75 mm. wide), smooth, moderately shiny, 

 a curved depressed line on middle of front, bicarinate at 

 sides; labrum 6-setose; mandibles and maxillae both very 

 sharp at apex ; ligula short, but not concealed, slightly 

 emarginate at apex. I am unable to determine the number 

 of setre on the penultimate joint of the labial palpi. 



Prothorax a little transverse (1 mm. wide), disk convex; 

 side margins explanate, widely so behind, base truncate, 

 hardly wider than apex, which is emarginate ; sides forming 

 an obtuse angle at two-fifths from apex, margin obviously 

 crenulate, almost straight from front to side angle, and from 

 side to hind angle; several seta; justinside border; frontangles 

 sharp, strongly porrect, hind angles right, reflexed, transverse 

 impressions and median line well marked ; surface mode- 

 rately shiny, almost smooth, a little rough near base, with a 

 few irregularly disposed, long, erect setae. 



Elytra more than three times as long as prothorax, 

 elongate, parallel ; shoulders very square, a re-entrant angle 

 at suture ; disk flat, depressed at a third from base, sides 

 compressed rather behind middle ; striate- punctate, but the 

 stripe, though fairly regular, are not well defined ; intervals 

 smooth, rather shiny, 3 and 5 with a row of erect setae. 



Underside sparsely punctate and pubescent, more obviously 

 on ventral surface ; front femora with a blunt tooth. 



The species differs in many points from D. bioculata m. ; 

 the ligula is a little longer, maxillae more acute, labrum 

 6-setose; front angles of thorax more acute, sides angu'ar, 

 striae of elytra more clearly defined, especially at base, disk
