Fam. CaraBID&. 
Ooves (Simovus) BORNEENSIS. 
O. eneo (Laferté) proxime affinis, sed differt corpore angustiore 
supra multo minus polito, preterea colore violaceo vel viridi-cya- 
neoetc. Anguste elongato-oblongus; palpis, antennis tarsisque 
(vel pedibus totis) picescenti-rufis: thorace post medium latiore, 
antice valde angustato, supra levi, puncto setifero ad angulum 
posticum: elytris tenuiter sed acute crenulato-striatis, margine 
ante apicem sat fortiter sinuato, interstitiis planis, 3” longe 
post medium unipunctato: subtus niger, nitidus. Long. 13-16 
millim. 6 @. 
Two examples. Found also in South-eastern Borneo. The genus 
Simous was separated from Oodes by Chaudoir chiefly on account of 
the extremely short six-punctate labrum and the setiferous puncture 
close to the hind angles of the thorax. It forms a perfectly natural 
group, of which five species are now known, peculiar to Indo-China 
and the neighbouring islands. 
CoOLPODES FRYI. 
Species magna elongataque C. parallelo (Chaud.) affinis. Valde 
elongatus relative angustus, elytris lateribus parum rotundatis ; 
nigro-cneus, elytris letius cuprascenti-eneis : capite pone oculos 
gradatim recte angustato, collo supra transversim depresso: thorace 
subquadrato, capite paullo angustiore, lateribus paullo ante medium

dense pilosis, 4 posterioribus supra valde bisulcatis medioque cari- 
natis, articulo 4° extus lobato. Palpi, antenneé et pedes rufes- 
centi-picer. Long. 17 millim. &. 
One (female) example. The species belongs to the numerous group 
of the genus distributed through South-eastern Asia and its islands, 
in which the metathoracic epimera are long and narrow, the fourth 
joint of the hinder tarsi strongly unilobular, and the sutural apex of 
the elytra briefly truncated and more or less spined or toothed.
