Mr. II. E. AiiJrewos on Oriental Carabidto. 177 



Tlie upshot of the above is tliut pennaylvanica and its 

 Eastern allies are nt present, according to uiy view, without 

 a genus. ]\Iy lack of knowledge of American Carabidie 

 prevents me from pro|)osing a new genus for pennsijlvanica, 

 but I think that its elongate head, bordered prothorax, and 

 the smooth apical area of the elytra 8e[)arate it generically 

 tVoni all the Eastern species known to me. For some of the 

 latter I propose the new genus Arame, though this will not 

 include all of them. Tlte type of thig genus is described 

 further on under the name of A. niacra. 



Arame, gen. nov. 



Ligula short, fairly wide, truncate in front, a little arcuate 

 in centre, quailrisetose, the two inner aeix much longer than 

 the outer ones ; paraglossre linear, membranous, free, 

 glabrous, curving inwards, and rather longer thaji the ligula. 

 ^lentnm with a sliort f;iirly sharp tooth in tiie emargination, 

 al)out half as long as the lobes; epilobes evident, projectirjg 

 in front of the lobes in the form of an acute tooth. 



I^laxillre sharp, hooked at tip, with a row of strong bristles 

 on inner sit-le. Maxillary pai[)i glabrous, joints 2 and 4 iialf 

 as long again as 3 ; last joint a little inflated, tapering and 

 truncate at extremity. Labial palpi glabrous, except tor tiic 

 two setai on inner margin of penultimate joint; joints equal, 

 last one as in maxillaries. 



Alandibles short, a small tooth on tiie right one at about 

 middle, none on left, without seta in scrobe. 



Anteinise reaching beyond base of thorax, first tlnee joints 

 glabrous, joint 1 inflated, with only one seta, joint 2 very 

 short, joint 3=1, rest a little longer. 



Eyes moderately prominent, a little removed from buccal 

 fi.s^ure. 



Labrum truncate, sexsetose. 



Head sul)globose, much inflated behind eyes, with two 

 supraorbital seta?, strongly constricted behind, condyliform. 



I'rothorax subglobose, lateral margins obsolete or indicated 

 by a very hn^' line only. 



Elytra fully striate, but strije generally becoming faint 

 towards apex. Odd intervals — or, at least, interval 3 — with 

 some setiterous pores. 



Last ventral segjiient in ^ with one, in ? with two scti- 

 furous pores on each side; in the (J the margin is distinctly 

 notched, in the ? only fain ly so. 



Tarsi smoi til on U|)prr .suil'acc, j tint 4 enliie but emar- 

 gimile, joint 5 very '""g, with seta; bi nealii ; in the hind legs
