CARABIDAE FROM BURMA 277 



22. divina brevior, Putzeys, Révis. Gén. des Clivinides p. 126. 

 Rangoon; Senmigion ; Teinzò. 



The specimens I have seen agree with Putzey's description 

 and in comparing them with examples of C. transversa (Putz.) 

 from Siam 1 find pretty nearly the same points of similarity 

 and difference which he mentions. 



23. divina laeviceps, n. sp. 



C. transversae (Putz.) proxime afSnis, at differt capite laevis- 

 simo polito etc. Elongato-oblonga , convexa , ferrugineo-fulva 

 (interdum plaga elongata suturali infuscata), palpis pallidioribus. 

 Caput laevissimum, epistomate medio sicut in C. transversa arcua- 

 tim emarginato angulis acutis, ab alis (integratis) sulco et incisurà 

 separato, supra transversim depresso opaco; alis (integratis) bi- 

 lobatis lobo interiori elongato porrecto; sutura frontali impressa, 

 foveola frontali rotunda (interdum obsoleta), carinulaque brevi 

 utrinque prope oculum ; sulculo transversali occipitali medio 

 laj;issime interrupto. Thorax quadratus laevis vel sparsim disco 

 subtiliter punctulatus, angulis posticis acute dentatis, sulculo 

 marginali anteriori profunde impresso. Elytra acute punctato- 

 striata, interstitio 3.'° poris setiferis 4 conspicuis prope striam 

 3iam^ 8"° versus humeros carinulaeformi basi attingenti. Femora 

 antica subtus apice valide dentata medioque mediocriter rotun- 

 dato-dilatata : tibiae ultra dentes elongates acute unidenticulatae, 

 intermediae calcari elongato. — Long. 4-7 millim. 



Rangoon; Palon (Pegu). 



The large examples are more robust and have the appearance 

 of a different species, but all their structural characters and 

 details of sculpture are the same as in the smallest individuals. 

 As in other species of the C. lobata group the central episteme 

 is separated from the side piece or pieces (alae minores and 

 majores of Putzeys) by a marginal notch and a broad and deep 

 surface groove or depression continuing to the forehead. 



A very closely allied species, much darker in colour (C di- 

 varicata Putz.?) is found on the lower Yang-tsze-Kiang.
