CARABIDAE FROM BURMA 387 



sinuatus, angulis posticis exstantibus, dense punctulato-pubescens. 

 Elytra elongato-subovata, humeris oblique rotundatis densissime 

 punctulata et subtiliter pubescentia, striata, iaterstitiis undique 

 pauUo convexis. — Long. 10 72 niillim. 



Palon (Pegu). 



In colour resembles, according to the description, Z. erythro- 

 cephalum, Chaud. but the size and the form of the thorax and 

 elytra are very different, Chaudoir implying that they are the 

 same as in Z. olens. 



318. Zuphium praestans, n. sp. 



Magnum, depressum, fusco-nigrum , fulvo-pubescens , capite 

 nigro-polito , partibus oris antennis et pedibus rufo-testaceis. 

 Caput sparse punctulatum media fronte depressa. Thorax fere 

 sicut in Z. olente, panilo magis elongatus. Elytra elongata, hu- 

 meris obliquis, densissime et subtiliter punctulato-rugulosa, elytra 

 distinctius striata. — Long. 10-11 millim. 



Palon (Pegu). 



319. Zuphium modestum, Schmidt-Goebel, Faun. Birm., p. 29. 

 Palon (Pegu). 



Chaudoir records the species also from Northern India. 



320. Zuphium piceum, Schmidt-Goebel, Faun. Birm., p. 29. 

 Palon (Pegu). 



321. Zuphium inconspicuum, Schmidt-Goebel, Faun. Birm., p. 30. 

 Bhamò; Palon (Pegu). 



Schmidt-Goebel gives a very accurate description of this small 

 species, notwithstanding the damaged condition of his single 

 example. It resembles (except in its smaller size) Z. modestum 

 but is distinguishable by its shorter antennae and particularly 

 the short 3."^ joint. The palpi also are remarkably short, the 

 terminal joints appearing ovate but being in reality very obtu- 

 sely and obliquely truncated.
