Th. G. Sloane, Carabidae from N. Guinea etc. 473 
Tribe Dryptini. 
Genus Dendrocellus. 
Dendrocellus elegansn. sp. 
Q. Upper surface of a rather bronzy green; under surface 
cyaneous; legs (apex of femora black), antennae (apical third of 
1% joint only infuscate), and palpi testaceous; clipeus brownish, 
darker than mandibles and labrum. 
Head punctate, longer than broad (1.8 — ex. labrum and 
mandibles — 1.6 mm). Prothorax punctate, longer than broad 
(2.1><1.3 mm), widest in middle, feebly bordered at widest part, 
border obsolete near apex and base; sides decidedly sinuate at 
posterior third, out-turned to meet base; apex truncate; base 
truncate, a little wider than apex. Elytra oval, more than twice 
as wide as prothorax (7.5 x 3.25 mm), punctate-striate; inter- 
stices subconvex, densely seriate-punctate; apex with outer angles 
triangular, acute. 
Length 10.5, breadth 3.3 mm. 
Baining Berge. Gazelle Peninsula. (Two specimens.) 
A specimen (2) from Baining Berge has served me for the 
above description. This species seems to resemble D. ternatensis 
Chaud., which is unknown to me in nature. As far as I can 
judge by Chaudoir’s description of D. ternatensis, D. elegans 
seems to differ by 2"4 and 3’4 joints of antennae testaceous, not 
brown; femora only infuscate at apex, not on apical third. From 
the Australian D. smaragdinus Chaud., it differs (from comparison 
with a specimen in my collection) by size larger ; prothorax less 
eylindrical, sides more deeply sinuate posteriorly, more strongly 
out-turned to base; elytra wider, base more ampliate and more 
declivous, interstices less convex, punctures in the striae finer, 
those of the interstices more regular; eyes less hemispherically 
protuberant; 2”4 and 3” joints of antennae not brown, etc. 
Tribe Miscelini. 
Genus Miscelus. 
The relationship of Miscelus to Catascopus, which seemed so 
evident to Lacordaire and Chaudoir, is not at all apparent 
to me; on the contrary, I feel: compelled to regard Miscelus 
as the type of a distincet tribe, the position of which is near 
the Helluonini. The head with one supra-orbital puncture on each 
side, placed as in the Chlaeniüni and Harpalini, the double row of 
strong bristles on the ligula, the wide intercoxal part of the
