side. Elytra suboval (8 x 5-6 mm.), widest behind middle, a little 

 narrowed to base, depressed on disc, very declivous to apex; sides 

 lightly rounded; base lightly emarginate, shoulders marked; four 

 regular rows of large round foveas — besides those of lateral 

 channel — on each elytron, fovese of sutural row smaller than 

 others; a row of ocellate punctures placed in foveiform depres- 

 sions in the wide lateral channel. 



Length 12-5-17-5, breadth 4-2-5-7 mm. (Type 17 mm. in 

 length.)

 Narrandera and Mulwala (Sloane). 



This is the species which was regarded by the late Sir William 

 Macleay as C spencii, Westw.; it is so named in his collection 

 and all references to 0. spencii, as a species known to him, in his 

 papers on the Carenides, must be considered as referring to it. 



This species has been represented in my collection for many 

 years, and never since comparing it with Westwood's description 

 and figure of C. spencii have I been able to accept Sir William 

 Macleay's identification as correct, or regard it as the species 

 which Westwood had before him; but it is only recently that I 

 have been able to identify the true C. spencii irom. specimens 

 supplied to me by Mr. C. French under the name of C. digglesi, 

 Macl. An examination of these specimens shows them to agree 

 perfectly with both Westwood's description and figure of C. 

 spencii, and leaves no doubt in my mind as to their being West- 

 wood's species. 



Comparing L. macleayi with L. spencii the conspicuous difference 

 is in the sculpture of the el3^tra; in L. spencii the elytra are more 

 rounded on the sides, the first interstice is flat and closely trans- 

 versely striolate without the large fovese of L. macleayi, the lateral 

 channel is smooth with its row of ocellate punctures not placed 

 in fovete. L. salebrosiim, Macl., has the elytra with the first 

 interstice similar to that of L. spe-iicii, but the fovese of the elytra, 

 though their general arrangement is in three rows, are more 

 numerous, irregularly shaped and confused in the two outer rows. 



L. macleayi exactly resembles L.Joveipenne, Macl., in all resjjects
