CARABIDAE FROM BURMA 295 



sal setiferous-pores; the 8.*'' stria is strongly impressed and 

 entire. The frontal sulci are broad, not distinctly duplicated 

 and nearly parallel, the forehead between moderately narrow. 

 The thorax is quadrate-cordate, strongly sinuate-angustate behind 

 with outstanding, acute hind angles. The colour is rufo-testaceous 

 the elytra with a more or less distinct fuscous vaguely limited 

 fascia a little behind the middle, and sometimes an oval yellow- 

 testaceous spot near the apex. It varies in size from barely 2 

 to 2 Vs niillim.

Apparently a common insect in Burma as it is in Ceylon and 

 occuring in the same wide range of colour varieties. The long 

 divergent and straight frontal furrows with the accompanying 

 2 or 3 shorter furrows near the episteme and the emarginate 

 labrum readily distinguish the species, which occurs also at 

 Fuchau and on the Yang-tsze in China.

Bhamò; Teinzò; Preme; Rangoon. 



In correction of the description above-cited I may mention 

 that the frontal foveae are short and distinctly duplicated. The 

 species was described from examples from Fuchau, China.

One example. T. deliciolus. Bates is an allied species, very 

 similar in form and colours but distinguished by the dark co- 

 loured antennae. This latter character proves to be of great
