290 IMr. II. E. Andrevres on Oriental Carabidre. 



more irregular on 5), of moderate size, l)ut very clearly 

 (k'fincci, 12 or 15 in nninbcr, a similar series. on interval i), 

 adjoining stria 8, widely interrupted in middle, and an 

 uninterrupted vow of smaller punctures along marginal 

 channel ; surface nearly smooth, very silky in appearance, 

 with two irregular rows of almost imperceptible punctures 

 along each interval. 



Very difterent from any other species known to me. 

 Longer and narrower than D. annrna, Dej., with dark legs 

 and antennie ; head and prothorax without trace of metallic 

 green. Head with clypeus less emarginate ; |)rothorax with 

 sides more evenly rounded, the disk smoother; elytra longer, 

 narrower, more parallel, the seriate punctures much larger. 



Tonkin : Tranninh. Annam : line, Muong Sen, and 

 Keug Trap [R. Vitalis de Sulvaza). The type is in the 

 British Museum. 



A solitary example in the British ^[useum labelled 

 " Halupahani, HaldummuUe, Ceylon," differs only from 

 the typical form in having the tibia? light red instead of 

 very dark red. 



Dioryche clara, sp. n. 



Length 7*5-8"5 mm. ; width 2'75-3'2r) mm. 



Upper surface of a brilliant brassy hue, beneatli black 

 with faint seneous reflections ; buccal organs and legs 

 piceous, joint 1 of antennre and apex of palpi red. 



Head convex, wide (1 75 mm.), with fairly prominent eyes, 

 clypeus moderately emarginate in front, the suture very 

 clearly marked, surface nearly smooth, some scattered 

 punctures at sides and on clypeus. Prothorax transverse 

 (r8x2*G mm.), moderately convex, widest a little before 

 middle, contracted more in front than behind, base gently 

 l)isinuate, bordered at sides, apex slightly emarginate, sides 

 finely bordered, rounded in front, then straight to the base, 

 a pore and seta at apical third, hind angles slightly obtuse, 

 but very little rounded ; median line fine and very short, 

 on middle of disk, basal fovea? small and rounded; apex* 

 moderately, base closely and rather finely punctate, disk and 

 sides with a few small punctures. Elylra (3"lx4'5 mm.) 

 convex, rounded at sides, widest a little behind middle, the 

 fine border rather strongly sinuate near apex; strirc fine, but 

 clearly cut, impunetate, scutellary striole very short, joining 

 2 at base, intervals 3-5-7 rather wider than the others, 

 especially towards apex, and seriately punctate, chiefly, but 

 not wholly, along strije 2-4-G respectively, the punctures
