CarabiJ£e/?'(?m Mount Eoerest. 211 



Amara [Leiromorphd) hypsela^ sp. n. 



Length 5-5-6-0 mm. ; width 2-4-2-6 mm. 



Very much like the preceding species and similarly 

 coloured, but a little smaller and differing in the following 

 particulars. The frontal furrows, though slight^ seem on 

 average to be rather more marked^ and the eyes are rather 

 more prominent. The prothorax is wider, its sides slightly 

 but distinctly sinuate before base, so that the angles are very 

 nearly right ; tlie inner fovea hardly differs, but the outer 

 one is obsolete, and the raised area is wanting, the punctures 

 at sides of base a little coarser and more numerous. The 

 elytra are rather more contracted towards base, the inner 

 striEe deeper, with more obvious puncturation, the striole 

 short and very inconspicuous. Beneath the border of the 

 prosternal process is very slight, sometimes obsolete, the 

 sides of the metasternum and its episterna more evidently 

 punctate, the apical ventral segment <$ with only one pore 

 and seta. 



Many ex., ^ $ . 



Cymindis lo7igstaffi, sp. n. 



Length 70-8-5 mm. ; width 2-6-3-2 mm. 



Piceous, shiny ; side-margins of prothorax, side and 

 apical margins of elytra, legs, antennae (darker towards 

 apex), palpi, metasternum, and middle of ventral surface 

 testaceous ; suture and frequently also base of elytra, some- 

 times head and prothorax brown. 



Head rather wide, convex, frontal foveae small but fairly 

 deep, eyes moderately prominent, gense very oblique, joint 3 

 of antennae only sparsely pubescent, apical joint of palpi 

 truncate, in the labials ^ very slightly dilated ; surface, 

 especially vertex, sparsely punctate, neck and clypeus smooth. 

 Frothorax moderately convex, a little wider than head and 

 half as wide again as long, sides rounded, margin reflexed, 

 bind angles also reflexed, obtuse, but quite evident ; median 

 line and transverse impressions all moderately marked, 

 basal foveae rounded, rather small but deep; surface punc- 

 tate but not closely, a little more so at sides and along base. 

 Elytra moderately convex, oval, with a re-entrant angle at 

 apex, the truncature hardly apparent, contracted towards 

 base, where the border, which reaches the small scutellary 

 striole, is strongly sinuate on each side, almost forming- an 

 angle at shoulder ; striae rather fine and very finely punc- 

 tate, 7 obsolete towards apex, intervals flat ; surface very 

 shortly pubescent, moderately and not very closely punctate, 

 the punctures of same size as on head and prothorax.
