446 Mr. n. E. Andrewcs on Oriental Carabida?. 



inclusion of the two additional species. I also give a table 

 differentiating the species. 



Ligula short, wide, truncate at apex, biseto!?© : paraglossre 

 veiy narrow, adnata to near apex of lij^ula and proji^cfinj^ 

 only a little beyond it. Mentuin inoderat«dy excised, sinns 

 oblique at sides, with a short wide triangiibir tootli : epiiobes 

 rather pointed at apex and extending a little in advance of 

 lobes. I'cOpi stout : lah'ml with ponultiuiate j')iiit bisetose ; 

 apical joint short, hardly longer than penultimate, conjiressed, 

 truncate : viaxiVanj with apical joint short, hardly longer 

 than penultimate, obtuse at apex. Labrum shagreened, 

 truncate, sex-setose. Mandibles short, without seta in scrobe, 

 pointed at apex, serrate along lower half of internal margin, 

 right one with a small median tooth. Cbjpeus bisetose. 

 Ihdd small ; frojit deeply and shortly bi-inipressed ; eyes 

 hemispherical, narrowly separated from buccal fissure beneath. 

 Ahttmme slioit, moniliform, lightly incrassate ; joints 1-3 

 glabrous, G-11 compressed, fiist large, about as long as 

 second and third together, second shortest. Frothora.v widely 

 transverse, considerably wider at base than apex ; basal 

 angles obtuse ; margins more or less bordered ; two marginal 

 set;c on each side, anterior just before middle, |)osterior at 

 basal angle. ]'2lylra with bordered base ; apex sinuate and 

 with margin interrupted on each side by an internal plica ; 

 no scutellary stri(de, interval 3 im])unctate. Piosternnvi 

 smooth ; intercoxal j)rocess more or loss bordered. Metepi- 

 sterna much longer than wide, punctate. Ventral surface 

 more or less punctate along sides. J^fgs short : anterior 

 tibiai with wide apex, rounded and spinose externally : tarsi 

 short, glabrous on upper suifaee, joint 5 glabrous beneath, 

 claws simple: anterior tarsi (cJ) with joints 1-3 moderately 

 dilated and biseriately squamose beneath, 1-2 triangular, 3 

 rather more quadrate, 1 shorter than 2 + 3, 4 very small: 

 anterior tarsi (?) with joint l = 2-|-3 + 4r, first two joints 

 with apex produced internally into a spinilorm process : 

 posterior tarsi slender, joint 1 = 2 + 3 + 4 : posterior tro- 

 chanters with a srtiferous j)0re near base. 



The genus is allied to Ctxlostomus (Stomona.vus), but the 

 antenna) are more slender, the thorax wider, nearly as wide 

 as elytra, flatter, hardly contracted behind, median lino and 

 basal sulci much faintei-, border less reflexed, elytra flatter, 

 hardly contracted towards base, striai impunelate. 



Tu///e of Species. 



1 (4). Prothorax with front and side niaif^ins 

 bordered tlirongliout, basal margin un- 

 bordevcd, surfaco smooth.
