CARABIDAE FROM BURMA 273 



the locality of the only example the exact source of which is 

 known to him, the original specimens from the Dejean Collection 

 having been erroneously recorded as from the north Coast of 

 Africa. Signor Fea's examples agree closely with the description 

 of Dejean.

 Goebel Faun. Birm., p. 94? (descript, incompleta). 



Rangoon; Palon (Pegu). Rangoon is also one of the localities 

 given by Chaudoir, who states that it is also found in North 

 India. The species is very closely allied to S. harharus Dej., 

 both having a deep oblique cavity on the forehead near the 

 inner margin of the eye by which chiefly they are distinguished 

 from a third species of the subgroup viz S. praedator. Chaudoir 

 seems to have known only males of this species and females 

 of S. harharus but the males of both are alike in their much 

 elongated mandibles and there is no character to distinguish the 

 two species except the sculpture of the surface of the head 

 which is extremely dense and fine in S. harharus and coarser 

 and more widely spaced (disappearing on the occiput) in S. ca- 

 pito.

Bhamò; Teinzò; Rangoon; Palon; Toungoo; Thigyam; Moul- 

 mein (Tenasserim). 



Besides the absence of the frontal cavity mentioned above 

 this species is distinguished from the two preceding in both 

 sexes, by the strong sinuation of the inner carina of the man- 

 dibles. 



15. Scarites denticulatus , Chaud. Monogr. 1880, p. 98. 

 Teinzò. 



One example only, referred to this species with some hesitation. 

 It agrees, however, fairly well with the description.
