840 CARABID^ FROM DORRIGOj N.S.W., 



Head wide(ri mm. across eyes); front and clypeus depressed, 

 punctate, the punctures stronger on front; eyes prominent. Pro- 

 thorax transverse(0'8 X 1-6 mm.), broadest a little before middle, 

 a little more narrowed to apex(l'15 mm.) than to base(l 3 mm.); 

 disc convex; lateral margins wide; puncturation close towards 

 margins, sparse in centre of disc; sides subangulate and bearing 

 anterior marginal seta at widest part, lightly narrowed poste- 

 riorly, subsinuate just before basal angles; anterior angles obtuse 

 but marked, hardly adv-anced; base widely and shortly lobed in 

 middle, truncate (but a little oblique) on each side; basal angles 

 rectangular ; median line strongly impressed. Elytra much 

 broader than prothorax(3 x 2'4mm.), depressed, broadest behind 

 middle, a little narrowed to base, rounded at humeral angles, 

 roundly truncate at apex. Length 4-9-5-2, breadth 2'4mm. 



Hab. — Dorrigo(on the trunk of a Eucalypt), Glen Innes(Carter). 



I cannot identify this species as one of those described by 

 Cliaudoir. From A. cribripennis Cliaud., it differs conspicuously 

 by the prothorax with only one anterior marginal seta (not three 

 or four), anterior angles less prominent, basal angles less acute. 

 From A. macleayi SI., it diflfers by smaller size, stronger punctu- 

 ration of head, prothorax, and elytra; darker colour; angles of 

 prothorax more marked, etc. 



It requires comparison with A. suticralis Mad., unknown to 

 me in nature, which should have the prothorax j'ellow; unfortu- 

 nately the description of A. suturalis gives no information as to 

 the shape of the prothorax. 



Agonochila macleayi, n.sp. 



Depressed; head, prothorax, and elytra beset with fine short 

 hairs, under a lens; prothorax subquadrate,apex lightly emarginate, 

 basal angles well marked but obtuse, two marginal setie on each 

 side; elytra broad, densely and finely punctulate; Jstrise and 

 interstices indefinite, third interstice 3-setose (anterior seta at 

 basal fifth, second a little behind middle, third a little behind 

 apex of sutural vitta). Yellow-testaceous; elytra more lightly 

 coloured than prothorax and head, 3-vittate, a sutural vitta
