 just before apex, second obsolete on apical decl'vity; interstices lightly convex, 

 lateral interstice seriate-punctate. Under surface impunctate. Length 11 — 13.5.

JIab. — Magnet (Lea), Cradle Mountain, Strahan (Carter and Lea). A 

 numerous series of specimens has been examined, collected by Messrs. Carter and 

 Lea in January, 1918, but Mr. Lea fii-st found this species at Magnet many jcars 

 ago. 



Genus Stichonotus. 



Stichonotus piceus Sloane. 



llab. — Mount Wellington (Lea), Cradle Mountain (Carter and Lea). 



Two specimens from Cradle Mountain, sent by Mr. Carter, are of shorter 

 and more oval form than the others, resembling in shape S. leai SI. more Ihan 

 S. piceux, with which I consider it eonspeeific. 



Stichonotus leai Slr.ane. 



Hub. — Magnet (Lea), Waratali (Carter). 



Tribe Scaritini. 



Ligula small, prolonged, narrow and bisetose at tip; paraglossae tree, small, 

 t;arrow, pointed. Base of ma.\illae not covered by mentum. Basal joint of an- 

 tennae unisetose Group Clivinidks. 



Ligula broad, corneous; paraglossae corneous, ciliate at apex. Mentum broad 

 and concealing at sides base of maxillae. Basal joint of antennae asetose

[= a. verticalis Putz.; = C. dursalis Blackb. (1889).] 

 My view is that the three names mentioned above have all been given to one 

 species. By an error I cited it as C. rlincoidnlis Blackb. in 1904, 



Hab. — Hobart, Sandford (Lea). Also found in Southern and S.W. Aus-
