214 AUSTRALIAN TENEBRIONIDiE. 



Hah. — Barrington Tops, N.S.W. (Messrs. Sloane, Musgrave, 

 and the author). 



Sixteen specimens taken by the above, belong to the sub- 

 squamose group, C. egerius Pasc, C. mimus Cax't., C. nndidatus 

 Cart. In form, it is nearest the last of these (from an adjacent 

 region), but it is at once separated from it by the coarsely rugose 

 pi-othorax and punctate elytra. In the latter character, it is 

 near C. mimus Cart., which differs widely in size, form, and pro- 

 thoracic structure. Types in the author's Coll. 



Meneristes proximtis Cart. — In these Proceedings for 1914 

 (p.75), I described this as a possible variety of J/, tibialis Cart. 

 With a number of fresh specimens from Barrington Tops before 

 me, I am convinced that this is a good species, clearly separated 

 from M. tibialis by the nitid, impunctate prothorax and elytrnl 

 intervals besides the distinctions noted in the description.
