508 ON CARABlD.i': FROM WEST AUSTRALIA, 



example (^) from Galston near Parramatta, has been given to me 

 by Mr. A. M. Lea which has the intermediate tarsi not dilatate, 

 but with two basal joints lightly squamulose beneath. I have 

 not yet seen a PJdlopkkeaA with only the basal joint of the inter- 

 mediate tarsi squamulose (and that densely) — the character on 

 which Chaudoir established a separate group for P. luculentus. 



I', rectangulus, Chaud., is very closely allied to P. hiculentns; 

 I have not seen it. 



The following species, given in Masters' Catalogue as belonging 

 to Philophlceus, do not in my opinion belong to that genus: Zebia 

 irrita, Newm., Lebia inollis, Newm., Phi/op/doRus dvbms, Macl., 

 PliHophloiUfi froggatti., Macl.; all of them, excepting P. ihibins, I 

 would refer to AgonochUa. P. duhius I would place in Eucalyptocola 

 on account of the elytra being deeply striate with the interstices 

 not punctate or pubescent ; I have it from Dunoon on the 

 Richmond River, N.S. Wales, and Mr. French has sent me speci- 

 mens which he took in the mountainous district east of Melbourne.
