CARABIDAE FROM BURMA 421 



424. Dromius? 



Teinzò. 



A single example of possibly a new genus of the Dromiinae group 

 the determination of which is not praticable without dissection. 



425. Demetrlas Annamensis, Bates, Ann. Soc. Ent, Fr. 1889, p. 284. 

 Bhamò. 



Two examples greatly differing in size (4 ^j^-h ^/^ millim.). 

 The specimens from Annam from which the species was de- 

 scribed measured 4 mill, and differed besides in the fuscous 

 suture extending before its termination after the middle to the 

 3^^ stria, in the Bhamò insects it reaches to the 2."^^ only. The 

 third elytral interstices has three setiferous punctures but the 

 middle one is sometimes very small and scarcely visible. 



426. ? Dem etrias luridus, Schmidt-Goebel, Faun. Birm., p. 35. 

 (Peliocypas id.). 



Bhamò. 

 One example, which agrees with the above-cited description in 

 all respects except the omission of the rather dense short pu- 

 bescence which clothes the upper surface. This may have been 

 abraded in the single specimen which served the author for 

 his description or may have been overlooked. 



I fail to detect the truncature of the labial palpi which Schmidt- 

 Goebel gives as one of his chief distinctions of the genus Pelio- 

 cypas, either in this or the other allied species found in Burmah 

 and other parts of the Indo-Chinese peninsula which I have 

 examined ; the terminal joint is acuminate like that of the ma- 

 xillary palpi and I therefore leave the species in the genus 

 Demetrias^ with which they appear to be closely congeneric. 



Subfamily CALLEIDINAE. 



427. Calleida sultana, n. sp. 



C. femorali (Chaud.) proximo afRnis, differt tantum coloribus: 

 — elytris splendide aurato-viridibus versus suturam violaceis,
