I compared all these with a .specimen from Queensland in my 

 possession, which I had formerly identified as Harpalus picipes 

 by comparison with Macleay's type, with the result that I am 

 compelled to consider it is impossible to maintain them as distinct.

I have examined the types of Macleay's species mentioned 

 above and have arrived at the conclusion that they are conspecific 

 with Gil. adelaidce, Casteln , which appears to be found over the 

 whole of Australia and also in Tasmania. 



Gn. impressipknnis. 



Harpalus impressipennis, Casteln., Trans. Roy. Soc. Victoria, 

 1867, viii. p. 186; Diaphoroinerus iiiultipunctatus, ? Macl., P.L.S. 

 N.S.W. 1888 (2), iii. p. 467; Gn. darwini, 1 Blkb., I.e. p. SiJ^. 



A specimen of Diaplwromerus multiptuictatus, Macl., (a cotype 

 from the collection made by Mr. Froggatt for the late Sir William 

 Macleay) is in my possession, and after comparing it with the 

 description given by Baron Chaudoir ;Ann. Mus. Genov. 1878, 

 xii. p. 510 of Gn. impressipennis, Casteln., I feel little doubt 

 but that it is a s3'nonym of that species, while a comparison of it 

 with Mr. Blackburn's description of Gn. daricini convinces me 

 of the identity of that species with //. muliipunctatis and there- 

 fore with Gn. impressipennis. 



Gnathaphanus latus, n.sp. 



Broad, depressed; head of ordinary size; prothorax nitid, trans- 

 verse, basal angles obtuse, lateral basal impressions strongly 

 impressed and obsoletely punctate; elytra striate, third interstice
