1889. ] NEW SPECIES OF CARABID&. 211 
With the form of head and mouth-structure of a typical Carabus, 
this species differs from all the subgenera and groups of that genus 
in the simple anterior tarsi of the male. The form of head and 
thorax and the vertically projecting tooth of the mentum are nearly 
the same as in C. kushmirensis (Koll.) and C. boysi (Tatum). The 
elevated interstitial parts of the elytra bear here and there traces of 
punctured striz. The new subgenus necessary for its reception 
may be thus characterized :— 
ImaiBius. 
Larsi antici utroque seau simplices. Caput post oculos haud 
incrassatum. Labrum medio valde depresso-emarginatum. 
Mentum dente magno valde elevato et compresso, apice truncato. 
Palpi labiales articulo penultimo 5-setoso ; labiales et mawillares 
articulo apicali in § late triangulari, in 2 mediocriter 
dilatato. 
CARABUS DARDIELLUs. 
Quoad formam C. obsoleto similis, sed paullo gracilior ; elongatus, 
nigro-fuscus, enescens, purum nitidus ; capite (normali oculisque 
prominentibus) thoraceque vermiculato-strigosis, hoc transverso 
cordato-quadrato, mox ab angulis anticis rotundato-dilatata 
paullo post medium vie sinuatim angustato, angulis posticis 
paullo productis (apice obtusis) declinatis, margine laterali 
paullo reflero, antico medio sinuato ; elytris elongato-ovatis, 
postice convexis, striato-punctatis, interstitiis angustis, aut con- 
veais aut planis, utrinque fossulis rotundutis (fundo unigranu- 
latis), triplici serie spatiisque inter fossulas oblongo-tuberculatis, 
limbo laterali et apicali confertim aspere granulato. Palpi 
labiales articulo penultimo 5-setoso. Antenne articulo 4° 
apice piloso. Mentum dente magno valde elevato et compresso, 
apice truncato. Labrum profunde sinuatum. 6. Tarsi antice 
articulis 4 dilatatis, plantis spongiosis, 1°-3” latis et arcte con- 
junetis, 4° parvo. 
Long. 22-24 millim. 
Goorais Valley. Many examples. 
Resembles C. boysi (Tatum) in the sculpture of the elytra; the 
latter, however, is a much larger species, with less ovate elytra, and 
differs conspicuously in the subcordate form of the thorax, the sides 
of which are deeply sinuated near the projecting and acute hind 
angles. C. wallichi (Hope) has a very similarly-formed thorax to 
C. boysi, but the sculpture of the elytra differs from that of both 
the others in the spaces between the fovez in the “chain-strice” 
being linear and as narrow as the other interstices. I have examined 
the type specimens of both in the British Museum collection. 
The following is a tolerably well-marked variety, of which there 
are several specimens. 
Var. GRANULISPARSUS. 
A typo differt solum capite thoraceque dense nec profunde
