rounded to apex, rounded at posterior angles; basal curve short, 

 subsinuate on each side; basal lobe short, wide, rounded, defined 

 by a strong transverse impression on each side; border narrow, 

 equal; marginal channel narrow, shortly but distinctly recurved 

 at anterior angles; an impression on each side before basal lobe. 

 Elytra subcylindrical, widely depressed on disc, parallel-oval 

 (7"3 X 4 ram ); a strongly impressed discal puncture on basal 

 fourth and apical third of each elytron; border thick, narrow, a 

 little upturned and folded over at humeral angles; lateral channel 

 well developed, seriate-punctate, the punctuies wide apart, 

 except towards base and apex ; intra-humeral fovea of base 

 4-punctate. Anterior tibiae bidentate; intermediate tibiae wide 

 at apex, external apical spur hardly developed; posterior tro- 

 chanters impunctate. Length, 14-3; breadth, 4 mm. 



Hab. — N.S.W.: Ben Lomond. Type in Coll. Sloane. A single 

 specimen occurred to me under a log, near the Ben Lomond 

 railway-station (4500 feet), in December. 



Allied to C. tinctillatum Newm , but differing by colour, elytra 

 4-punctate, etc.; in these respects it resembles C. diggleai Macl., 

 but I cannot regard it as conspecific with that species. Com- 

 paring it with a small specimen of C. digylesi from Brisbane, I 

 note the following differences : frontal sulci less strongly diver- 

 gent, tooth of mentum narrower and more pointed; prothorax 

 less convex, strongly impressed on each side of base; elyti-a much 

 less convex, lateral channel well developed, and with its punc- 

 tures more distant from one another, basal punctures placed in 

 a well marked fovea beside each humeral angle; posterior tro- 

 chanters impunctate; intermediate tibiae wider at apex; external 

 apical tooth feeble, far less developed. 



Carenum longulum, n.sp. 



Elongate, parallel. Head with frontal impressions long, 

 lightly divergent, suborbital scrobes to receive antennse short, 

 single, two supraorbital set* on each side; prothorax parallel on 

 sides, widely lobate at base, anterior angles prominent, two 

 marginal punctures on each side; elytra hardly wider than pro- 

 thorax, depressed on disc, 4-punctate, humeral angles obtusely
