XXXT. — Coleopteraofthe Second Mount Eve7'est Eocjoedition,

All the Carabidae were taken by Dr. T. G. LongstafiP during 

 tlie month of May in the neighbourhood of the Base Camp, 

 Upper Rombuk, Tibet, at an altitude of 16,500 feet. The 

 specimens secured belong to four well-known Palsearctic 

 genera, and are represented by five species, all of which I 

 believe to be new. There are good series of three of these, 

 but of the other two there are in each case two examples 

 only. The Nebria is a very aberrant form and, as will be 

 seen, differs rather widely from any hitherto described 

 species. 



Nebria superna, sp. n. 



Length 10 5-ll'0 mm, ; width 3-8-4'2 mm. 



Darii brown-red, ventral surface a little lighter, moderately 

 shiny : joint 1 of antennae (rest fuscous), apex of palpi, 

 femora, and trochanters red. In one example there are two 

 clearly separated red spots on the vertex, in the other the 

 greater part of the head is red. 



Head smooth, wide, and rather flat, a slight constriction 

 behind eyes, middle of front uneven, the slight impressions
