] 6 ANNULOSA JAVANICA. 



Obs. This genus is in some respect or other connected with Sphodrus, as may be seen on 

 examining the elongate mandibular, cylindrical palpi, long third joint of the antennae, and 

 obcordate form of the thorax. The specimen in the collection of the East India Company 

 being unique, I am unable to give more than external characters.

Long. corp. fere ■& 

 Caput pone oculos rugis striatum collo glaberrimo. Mandibula: nigrae. Palpi ferruginei. Antenna 

 apice pubescentes. Thorax lateribus rugosulis, linea postica transversa impressus. Elytra fere sulcata 

 sulco scutellari brevissimo et ad apicem pilis paucis raris longis instructa. Corpus subtus atronitidum. 

 Pedes trochantere ferrugineo. 



Genus REMBUS Lat. 

 Obs. The synopsis of the family of Carabiques given in the work of MM. Latreille and Dejean, 

 ought to be consulted for the characters of this genus. It is, however, easily to be known 

 by the deep semicircular emargination of its short transverse labrum. It seems to come near 

 both to Licinus and Badister ; from the former it differs in having the three tarsi of the anterior 

 feet less dilated in the males, and from the latter in the labrum, mentum, and palpi.

 Obs. The specific character given to this insect by Fahricius is so vague, that 1 have deemed it 

 necessary to make a new one as above.
