DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME NEW CALLISTINAE 
(COLEOPTERA, CARABIDAE) FROM EAST AFRICA 1 
By P. Basilewsky 
Belgian Congo Museum, Tervuren, Belgium 
Through the kindness of Dr. P. J. Darlington, Jr. of the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College, Cam- 
bridge, Massachusetts, I have been able to study certain 
Carabidae collected by Mr. Arthur Loveridge during his 
trips in East Africa. I sincerely thank Dr. Darlington 
for this opportunity. In the material I have found three 
new forms belonging to the subfamily Callistinae. I here 
give their descriptions. 
Pachydinodes raffrayi (Chaudoir) darlingtoni subsp. nov. 
Length 15-17mm. Differs from the typical form, widely 
distributed in Tanganyika Territory and the southern part 
of Kenya Colony, as follows : Size larger ; color lighter green, 
antennae and legs lighter ferrugineous ; form more elongate 
and slender. Prothorax with sides very distinctly narrowed 
toward base, widest near middle of length ; posterior angles 
more rounded ; base nearly same width as anterior margin ; 
punctation of upper side the same. Elytra more ovate, dis- 
tinctly widened behind the shoulders; latter less prominent; 
greatest width of elytra near middle of length ; striae strong- 
ly impressed, punctured (lightly) only in anterior half, 
intervals more convex, especially in basal part. Lower side 
similar, but meta-episterna longer and with several large 
punctures. The two specimens seen have no trace of a pre- 
apical yellow spot. 
Portuguese East Africa: Lumbo (A. Loveridge, l.IX. 
1918, 2 $ $). Holotype in the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology (Type No. 28,233) ; paratype in the Musee du 
Congo Beige, Tervuren.
