CARABIDAE FROM BURMA 275 



Found also in Ceylon , the Nilgliiri and North India. The 

 Burmese examples are mostly much smaller (6-8 millim.) than 

 those of South India and especially Ceylon where the length 

 ranges from 8 to 10 mm.

Bhamò. 



Numerous examples, all distinguished from a series of the 

 same species from Calcutta, which 1 have examined, by the fine, 

 instead of coarse , punctuation of the ely trai striae , the deep 

 anterior submarginai stria of the thorax differs also in being 

 simple instead of closely punctured. It is noteworthy that in 

 Cochin China the elytral striae are as strongly punctured as in 

 Bengal; hence the Bhamò form is deserving of a name as an 

 interesting local variety. The size is the same, 8 mm. 



divina attenuata and its immediate allies are distinguished 

 by the robust middle tibiae, arcuated, strongly denticulated and 

 setose on their outer edge and without spine.
