A species of ground beetle (Pericalus sp.) which is very tiny compared to other Carabidae species. Only 6mm in length. Shiny dark green body with 4 yellow dots on it's elytra. Seems to have wings but it did not fly when handled. It has a similar pattern to Dolichoctis tetracolon. Similar species can be found in Sulawesi http://www.flickr.com/photos/pasha_k/839...
