CARABIDAE PROM BURMA 287 



species was described originally from examples taken in Celebes; 

 and it occurs also at Malacca. The elytra, on the basal half, 

 are rather more depressed than in A. rufus, and in no example 

 have I seen a long hair-fringe on the sides of the thorax. Brown 

 or rufous individuals occur at Bhamò and Rangoon which, how- 

 ever, retain the characteristic colours of the antennae , though 

 the joints 3-7 are not so deeply black. The species must be 

 closely allied to A. atripennis (Motsch.) which, however, accor- 

 ding to the description has wholly yellow antennae.
