206 CARABIDiE FROM THE UPPER WILLIAMS RIVER, N.S.W., 



and Barrinoton Kivers, Kiama, Biirrawang. — Victoria: Wood's 

 Point, Marysville, Warburton, Yanagon, Ballarat, Princetown. 



This is the species which Blackburn regarded as Lacordairia 

 august at a Cast., but, with this opinion, I cannot agree. I regard 

 L. ani/ti statu as a true La<;o7'dairia, in all probabihty conspecific 

 with L. cychroides Cast., which I have from Raleigh, Comboyne, 

 Williams Biver, and Gosford, N.8. VV. L. hlaekhurni is common 

 in collections; it is over thirty years ago since I first found it in 

 the Otway forest, but it has nevei' been described. Tn the pro- 

 portions of the prothorax, it varies considerably: a specimen 

 from [viama, in my collection, has the dimensions of the pro- 

 thorax as follows — 3'5 X 3-6, apex 2*5, base 2*7 mm. Jt diti'ers 

 from S. amplipennis MacL, (which extends as far south as Dorrigo) 

 b}' labrum not rather deeply emarginate, but bisinuate (middle 

 more pi'ominent than anterior angles), prothorax more elongate 

 and narrower, elytra less deeply striate, etc. 



DiAPHOROMERiis EDWARDSi Cast., var. VIRESCKN8, n.var. 



Oval, convex; prothorax transverse, much wider at base than 

 apex, basal angles obtuse; elytra truncate-oval, striate, interstices 

 depressed, second with an elongate stride at base, third unipunc- 

 tate at beginning of apical declivity, humeral angles subdentate. 

 Nitid, minutely shagreened; upper surface rather bright green; 

 undersurface virescent; labmnn, legs, antennae after second joint, 

 and palpi (excepting their apices) black; first joint of antenna? 

 reddish-testaceons. Length 7'7-8*5, breadth 3-2-3-5 mm. 



Ilab. — N.S.W. : sources of Barrington River (Sloane), Ebor 

 (Tillyard). 



A single specimen (9) occurred to me in open country near Mr. 

 Edwai'ds' house (5,000 feet). Mr. Tillyard had formerly found 

 it at Ebor. It seems a variety of D. edwardsi Cast., which is 

 said by Chaudoir to be shining olive-bronze; by Castelnau, "dark 

 seneous-green, with a bluish tinge." 



Sarothrocrepis corticalis Fabr., var. inpuscata, n.var. 



Differs from <S'. corticalis Fabr., by pattern of elytra; the black 

 apical patch extends foi-ward along interstices 6-8 to the base,
