194 REVISIOXAL NOTES OS AUSTRALIAN- CARABIDAE^ 



Bembidion propkidm Blackburn (1887).* 



In his description of this species Blackburn has mentioned the long sparse 

 setae of the elytra; these are on the third (two setae) and fifth interstices 

 (about four setae), as in some species from New Zealand. 



I have only taken one specimen, beside a little rivulet near where it entered 

 the sea; I have not seen it from an inland locality. 



Hah. — South Australia: Port Lincoln (Blackburn); Victoria: Melbourne, 

 Lakes Entrance (Wilson); N.S. Wales: Wollongong (Sloane). 



Bembidion dubium Blackburn (1887). 



Uab. — South Australia: Port Lincoln and Bank of Murray (Blackburn); 

 Victoria: Serviceton and Yea (Sloane); New South Wales: Mulwala (Sloane), 

 Delegate (from Mr. H. J. Carter, ticketed "attracted to light"'). Beside fresh 

 water. 



Bembidion errans Blackburn (1887). 



Blackburn says of this species, "probably occurring only near the coast"; 

 I have not seen it from an inland locality. I found it in Western Australia on 

 the muddy margin of the Vasse River within the tidal influence. 



Hab. — South Australia : Port Lincoln, Adelaide, mouth of the Murray 

 River (Blackburn); Victoria: Melbourne (Fischer). 



Genus C I L L E N u s. 



Cillenus Samonelle (1819) is older than Cillenum Curtis (1829) which hiis 

 also been used. 



The genus is widely spread on sea beaches, having been reported from 

 Europe (England to the shores of the Mediterranean), New Guinea. Australia 

 (east coast), and New Zealand. Our two species differ, inter alia from C. 

 lateralis Sam., by elytra more strongly striate, third interstice 2-punctate. not 

 4 punctate, basal part of the lateral furrow which passes round the shoulders 

 deeper. 



Cillenus mastersi Sloane. 



Hab. — Sydney; Tasmanian shore of Bass Straits (Ufraeoinbe, Simson). 



Cillenus albovirens Sloane. 



Differs from ('. mastersi SI., by protliorax nuich.raore narrowed to base 

 and more strongly rounded on sides; elytra more oval, more strongly shagreened, 

 etc. 



Hah. — Queensland: Cairns (Dodd).

Stephens, III. Krit. Knt., ii., 1828, p. 2. 



The full synonymy of the genus Tuchys is not given here, but a list of 

 those names to which generic or subgencric rank has been attributed by dif- 

 ferent authors is subjoined, in each ca-se followed liv tlic name of the author, 

 year of publication, and the name of an Australian rejiresentative species : — 



*In this paper references are given only where the synonymy of a species 

 requires to be stated, in other cases the dale is given so that the species may be 

 found readily in zoological literature.
