838 CARABID.E FROM DORRIGO, NS.W., 



late-striate, interstices lightly convex. Testaceous, femora much 

 paler than tibiae; elytra with piceous pattern forming a trans- 

 verse ante-apical band, from which a narrow sutural stripe (on 

 first interstice of each elytron) extends forward to sciitellum, and 

 a wide lateral stripe on interstices 6-9 extends forward to humeral 

 angle. 



Head ordinary(r2 mm. across eyes). Prothorax broader than 

 ]ong(l-2 X 1 75 mm.), wider at base(r5 mm.) than apex(l-2 mm.); 

 sides arcuate at widest part, roundly and decided 1}^ narrowed to 

 apex, obliquely narrowed to base, subsinuate just before l^asal 

 angles; disc convex; lateral margins narrow anteriorly, wide but 

 not explauate posteriorly, apex truncate; anterior angles obtuse, 

 not marked, bordered; base rounded. Elytra much broader than 

 prothorax(3'8 x 2-8 mm.), broadest behind middle; base truncate; 

 humeral angles widely rounded; apex truncate (hardly oblique 

 on each side); interstices .shagreened, third, fifth, and .seventh 

 with a few fine punctures on the dark ante-apical part. Apex of 

 abdomen in ^ widely and deepl}^ triangularly excised. All the 

 tai'si with fourth joint bilobed, intermediate tarsi in ^ squamu- 

 lose beneath. Length 5'6-6, breadth 2 2-3 mm. 



Hab. — Dorrigo (common under loose bark on trunks of 

 Eucalypts). 



I believe that, on account of the shape of the palpi and pro- 

 thorax, the Rev. Thos. Blackburn would place this species in his 

 genus Ectroyna* It is much larger than any species which Mr. 

 Blackburn has referred to that genus, but is evidently allied to 

 Lebiomorpha benejica Newm. No other species of Sarothrocrepis 

 that I have examined, has the apex of the abdomen in the ^J so 

 widely and deeply excised. 



Agonochila quadricollis, n.sp. 

 Depressed, elongate; head small; prothorax small, narrow, basal 

 angles obtuse though marked; elytra much broader than prothorax 



*Lebia civlca Newm., is the typical species of the Rev. Thos. Blackburn's 

 genus Ectroma {rf. These Proceedings iv.(2), 1889, p. 710). The name 

 Ectroma had ah-eady been used when Mr. Blackburn proposed it, but Baron 

 de Chaudoir had proposed the name Lebiomorpha for the same group (rf. 

 Bull. Soc. Imp. Mat. Mosc. 1876, p. 80).
