DEUVE ET AL.: CARABID BEETLE FAUNA OF THE GAOLIGONG MOUNTAINS 383<br />
tends to be absent from members of eastern populations. The many specimens we examined from<br />
localities in the study area confirm his observation. Among them, the prepical seta is absent from<br />
most specimens. If present, the seta is very small or vestigial, and only present unilaterally in most<br />
such <strong>case</strong>s. This led Uéno (1999a:215), while reporting the presence of this species in the Gaoligong<br />
Shan for the first time, to consider the eastern populations, including those in the study area,<br />
as a separate species, T.macrops Jeannel.<br />
HABITAT DISTRIBUTION.— Members of this species have been found in a variety of microhabitats<br />
at elevations ranging from 1230 to 2486 m. They have been collected in daytime from under<br />
stones on the shaded and open banks of small to large streams, along roadcuts, and in closed<br />
canopy forest. At night, they have been found active on open sandy beaches and floodplain flats of<br />
larger streams (Fig. 41a) and on the ground along roadcuts. In almost all of the localities where<br />
specimens of T.indicus were founded, they were the only trechine collected. However, they were<br />
found syntopic with specimens of Agonotrechus xiaoheishan at Xiaoheishan Forest Reserve in the<br />
southern part of the study area. Uéno (1999a) reported that specimens of this species (which he<br />
recorded as Trechus macrops Jeannel) were found in the same area as specimens of Agonotrechus<br />
yunnanus and Epaphiotrechus fortipes (Uéno) comb. nov.<br />
