ON NEW CICINDELID& AND CARABIDE, -[Apr. 2, 
elongato, ante medium leviter rotundato-dilatato antice sensim 
angustato, subtilissime corrugato fere levi; elytris sicut in 
C. tientei acute punctulato-striatis, striisque catenatis utrinque 
tribus et interstitiis tribus integris exterioribus, apice (35 2?) 
oblique sinuatim truncatis ; corpore subtus levissimo. ¢. Tibie 
antice intus simplices ; tarsi articulis 4 subtus spongiosis. 
Long. 26-30 millim. 
Ichang. A good series of examples. 
PRISTODACTYLA AGONOIDES. 
Taphriz nivali (Panz.) haud dissimilis, sed thorace minore et 
angustiore. Fusco-nigra, nitida, thoracis marginelaterali, palpis, 
antennis pedibusque rufescentibus ; capite anguste ovato levi ; 
thorace parvo anguste ovato sat convexo polito, postice magis 
quam antice angustato, angulis posticis fere rotundatis, foveis 
angustis ; elytris anguste ovatis, apice haud sinuatis, convexis 
acute striatis, interstitiis parum convetis, 3° postice unipunctato ; 
pedibus minus elongatis, tarsis 4 posterioribus articulis 1° et 2° 
extus versus dorsum oblique sulcatis, unguibus dimidio basali 
longe pectinatis. Prosternum lateribus tantum marginatum, 
apice levi. 
Long. 73 millim. 
Ichang. 
LEBIA PRATTIANA. 
L. fusczee (Morawitz) similis, sed multo major et valde differt 
thorace antice usque ad collum rotundato-angustato ; L. xantho- 
phane (Bates) magis affinis. Oblonga, postice paullo dilatata, 
Susco-nigra, polita; partibus oris, antennis pedibusque obscure 
rufo-testaceis, femoribus apice plus minusve fuscis ; capite rugoso 
et sparsim punctulato ; thorace transverso a medio usque ad collum 
rotundato-angustato, angulis anticis nullis, postice via angustato, 
angulis posticis paullulum obiusis, lobo basali brevissimo, 
dorso transversim ruguloso, lateribus late explanatis et alte 
reflexis ; elytris acute punctulato-striatis, interstitiis convezis, 
3° bipunctaio, apice flexuoso-truncatis, angulis externis breviter 
dentatis. Tursi articulo 4° longe bilobato, unguibus 8° et 9° 
pectinatis. Venter versus apicem punctulato-pubescens, 
Long. 12 millim. 
This species connects the Asiatic group of Zedia, in which the 
thorax is wholly rounded anteriorly (without anterior angles) and 
the 
outer angle of the elytral truncature dentiform, with the 
numerous group iv. ( of Chaudoir’s Monograph of the Lebiides, in 
which the elytral interstices are similarly convex, but the outer angle 
of the truncature rounded &c. L. prattiana, in fact, resembles 
much a large L. caligata (Bates). 
LEBIA XANTHOPHANA. 
Lebia xanthophana, Bates, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 382. 
Mr. Pratt has sent a numerous series of this species from Ichang,
