reception of tlie first four joints of the antenn?e, and then a 

 pitted space of about equal width, corresponding with tlie 

 paragenae. Prothorax strongly transverse, quadrate, pedun- 

 culate, central part longitudinally raised, projecting in front 

 into an indt-'nlation of head, witii base emarginate and bi- 

 tuljerculate abnve peduncle: sides explanate and hollowed 

 out, three or tour large, transverse, shallow pits arranged 

 longitudinally along them, bounded inwardly by a fine ridge: 

 8cuttl!uin very small, situated on the peiluncle. Elytra 

 tricarinate, base truncate, emarginate in middle, with small 

 projections on each side of the emargination, resulting from 

 extensions of the first carina, shoulders sharply rectangular, 

 apex slightly truncate, the sutuial angles just showing as a 

 faint projection : outer carina forming the apparent margin, 

 the real margin, inflexed, and invisible from above, separated 

 from it by a shallow channel. Underside deeply pitted : 

 epipleurae of prosternum wide in front, narrowed behind, 

 undulating in corres|)ondence with the transverse pits on 

 upper surface : intercoxal process bordered, narrowed between 

 00X33, and widened out horizontally behind, the border con- 

 tinued obliquely forward in front across the prosternum, which 

 is finely carinate down the central line : a deep bordered 

 channel between epipleurae and prosternum for reception of 

 antenna% episterna shagreened and forming (as seen from 

 beneath) the base of the antennal channel in front, but visible 

 behind, where the channel widens out : raesepimera (appa- 

 rently) reaching coxal cavities : nietasternum channelled, the 

 episterna long, narrow, and channelled behind : margins of 

 vential segments curving backwards at sides, penultimate 

 and antepenultimate segments each with a deep, pitted trans- 

 verse sulcus, apical segment with a setiferous pore at margin 

 on each side. Legs short : front femora dilated, channelled 

 beneath, tibias witli two inconspicuous teeth below terminal 

 one, tarsi minute, joint 1 as long as the rest together: mid- 

 femora channelled beneath, with a tooth near base, tibiae 

 slender, finely spinose, without trace of spur : hind coxa3 just 

 meeting; claws minute. There are fully developed wings 

 ben'ath the elytra. 



The usual setce to be seen on various parts of the body in 

 the Carabidae are almost entirely wanting, with the exception 

 of those on the labrum, last segnient of ventral surface, and 

 legs, but the cleansing of the specimens must to some extent 

 be responsible for this, and fresh material is required for 

 examination. 



The remarkable feature in this new genus is the presence 

 of antennal grooves on the underside, not only of the head,
