440 REVISIONAL NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN CARABIDiE, 



The comma-like testaceous mark towards the apex of each 

 elytron at once separates this species from all the other Aus- 

 tralian species; its position in the genus is beside Ch. bihamatus 

 Chaudoir, a Javan species.

I compared a specimen from Kuranda, in my collection, with 

 Macleay's type of his Ch. nigripes, in the Australian Museum, 

 Sydney, and found them to be one species.

ChljENIUS rudicollis Chaudoir.

 p.ll5. 



Baron Chaudoir, in his Monograph of 1876, when redescribing 

 and renaming Macleay's Clt. bimaculatus, placed it in a group 

 characterised by having the anterior femora in ^ dentate 

 beneath; but, in this assignment, he was wrong. I have 

 examined the type-specimen((J), in the Macleay Museum, and 

 found it to have the anterior femora edentate beneath, as is also 

 the case with a specimen((J) sent to me by Mr. F. P. Dodd. 

 Its position is near Ch. maculiger Cast.
