204 ON THE CARENIDES (FAM. CARABIDjE), 



Section II. — Species the colour tints of which are blue 



(or violet). 



0. Icevigatum, Macl. C. propinquum, Macl. 



C. puncticolle, Macl. C. nitescens, Macl. 



0. murruvihidgeiise, Macl. C. ianthinum, Macl. 



G. subporcatulum, Macl. C. fugiiivum, Blkb. 



C. convexum, Chaud. C. decorum, SI. 



C. kingi, Macl. C. amplicolle, SI. 



Two species, viz., C. carhonarium, Casteln., and G. j:>olitulum, 

 Macl., are omitted from the above list; C. carbonarium because I do 

 not feel sure that it should not be placed in the planipenne-groxx^; 

 G. polituhim because its colours are described as "glossy black 

 tinged with blue on the el3'tra," and with a "green margin to 

 both thorax and elytra," and therefore does not seem in place 

 either in the " sreen " or " blue " section.

Carenum laterals, Macl. 



I am doubtful if this species is really distinct from G. margin- 

 atum, Boisd. A specimen (evidently <^) is in my collection, sent 

 by Mr. W. S. Duncan from Inverell, N. S. Wales; comparing it 

 with specimens of G. marginatum from near Sydney the only 

 differences noticeable are the more rounded posterior angles of 

 the prothorax and the lighter sinuosities on each side of the base, 

 and on the middle of the base. 



Carenum viridimarginatum, Macl. 



Of the two type specimens in the Australian Museum one is G. 

 s^ibporcatulum, Macl.; the other seems a different species nearly 

 allied to G. marginatum, Boisd., and requiring further examina- 

 tion. 



Carenum l^vigatum, Macl.
