tures along lateral channel; two punctures on each side of basal 

 declivity. Legs as in G. ineditum, Macl. 



Length 20, breadth 7-3 mm. 



flab. — Australia (Coll. French). 



A very remarkable and isolated species; its affinity is evidently 

 towards C. ineditum, with which it agrees in shape of head, palj^i, 

 and legs. It cannot be placed with C. transversicolle, Chaud., on 

 account of its bidentate anterior tibije. 



Carenum occidentale, n.sp. 



Robust, convex, Ipevigate; frontal sulci almost parallel; pro- 

 thorax widely transverse, shortly lobate, anterior angles porrect; 

 elytra impunctate, inflexed margins wide; anterior tibise tridentate. 

 Black, shining, prothorax and elytra margined with green. 



Head transverse, quadrate (5 x 7*5 mm.), convex across occiput, 

 subdepressed anteriorly; frontal sulci subparallel, hardly diverging 

 backwards, curving outwards anteriorly in a distinct linear course; 

 preocular sulcus short, deep, straight; preocular process narrow; 

 eyes round, not prominent, deeply set in head; one supraorbital 

 puncture on each side. Antennas rather stout, subfiliform, 

 lightly compressed, apical joint short. Prothorax convex, widely 

 transverse (5-3 x 9'5 mm.), of same width between posterior 

 angles as between anterior angles, smooth (disc feebly transversely 

 striolate^; sides lightly rounded, anterior margin truncate between 

 anterior angles, these strongly and obtusely advanced; posterior 

 angles rounded, but prominent; base shortly lobate, truncate on 

 each side of lobe; basal lobe short, rounded; border reflexed, wide 

 on sides, very wide at posterior angles, narrower on basal lobe; 

 marginal channel wide on sides, entire on base; median line well 

 marked, linear; two marginal setigerous punctures on each side. 

 Elytra oval, hardly wider than prothorax (13-5 x 9-7 mm.), smooth, 

 convex, deeply declivous to apex; border narrow, reflexed, lightly 

 folded over (not prominent) at humeral angles; margin wide; a 

 row of four punctures on base of each elytron; a row of ocellate 

 punctures along margin; suture strongly impressed, Anterior 

 tibiae tridentate; intermediate tibii« incrassate with a very short
