CARABIDAE FROM BURMA 411 



Peninsula and Borneo. I hesitate to apply the appropriate 

 name given to it by Chaudoir, although it has the priority. 

 There is some doubt of the correct identification of Motschul- 

 sky's species.

Var. scintillans = C. elegans, Schmidt-Goebel, Faun. Birm., 

 p. 83. — A typo differt elytrorum interstitiis 7.™° et 8.^'^ intus 

 carinatis et auratis, partim igneo-cupreis, striisque basi, et exte- 

 rioribus totis, grosse crenato-punctatis ; interstitiis 5.*° vicinis 

 pauUo angustioribus. — Long. 9 millim. 



Thagatà (Tenasserim). 



The Var. scintillans is found also on the Khasia Hills and in 

 the Andaman Islands, in the latter locality it is mingled with 

 the type-form of C. elegans, as it occurs in Java. The sides of the 

 elytra are more deeply sinuated in the middle and the margin 

 more reflexed than is usual in the C. elegans of Java and Su- 

 matra. The var. amoenus (Chaud.) forms the opposite extreme, 

 the striae and their punctures being feebly impressed and the 

 7.* and 8.^^ elytral interstices being plane.

Several examples agreeing perfectly with others from Ceylon , 

 Malacca and Sumatra. Chaudoir gives also Borneo and Siam as 

 localities. The true interrwpta, Schm.-Gb. according to the de- 

 scription is a larger insect with the anterior elytral spot " ein
