G. Sloane, New Carabidae from German New Guinea. 183 
anterior third, finely punctate-rugose; apex widely and very 
lishtly emarginate, angles distant from neck, widely rounded; 
base about as wide as apex, lightly produced backwards in middle, 
angles marked, obtuse at summit; sides lishtly rounded anteriorly, 
oblique posteriorly; lateral margins wide, depressed ; median line 
well marked; 2 setigerous punctures on each side, anterior at 
widest part, posterior beside basal angle. Elytra subquadrangular 
(3>< 2.6 mm); base truncate; humeral angles rounded; sides 
lishtly rounded; apex a little obliquely sinuately truncate, sutural 
angle rounded ; striae finely impressed ; interstices depressed, finely 
and closely setulose-punctate. 
Length 5.2, breadth 2.6 mm. 
Hab.: New Pomerania, Herbertshöhe. 
Very distinet from all the described Australian species of 
the genus Agonochila by the pattern of the elytra formed by 
longitudinal lines and maculae. There are four stripes on inter- 
stices 3, 5, 7, 8 respectively on the basal half, and 9 maculae 
on interstices 2—8 on the apical half of each elytron; the 1“ 
interstice is wholly piceous.

Sinurus? obscurus, n. sp. 
Black. Head wide, eyes prominent, hemispherical; prothorax 
subcordate, widest and angulate a little before middle; elytra 
opaque, wide, lightly convex, striate, obliquely truncate on each 
side of apex. 
Head short (1.6 mm across eyes), shagreened and finely 
punctulate between eyes and on clipeus; posterior part of orbits 
very small and abruptly truncate. Prothorax finely setulose- 
punctulate and transversely -striolate, broader than long (1.25 X 
2 mm); apex emarginate, wide and lightly rounded on each side 
of neck; sides lightly angulate and bearing a seta at widest 
part, rounded anteriorly, sinuate posteriorly; base as wide as 
apex (1.4 mm), truncate in middle, sloping forward on each side 
to angles, these obtuse but lightly marked; lateral margin ex- 
planate, reflexed; lateral basal impressions deep, concave; posterior 
marginal seta on edge of margin at basal angle. Elytra widely 
ovate, widest about middle (4.3 x 3.2 mm), lishtly declivous to 
base; humeral angles not marked (wide and projeeting in a curve 
on each side of peduncle); sides subparallel in middle, lightly 
arcuate posteriorly; apex obliquely truncate; outer apical angle 
obtuse but marked, sutural angle obtusely rounded; striae lightly 
impressed ; interstices very finely shagreened, sparsely covered
