124 THE CARABIDAE OF TASMANIA, 



CAEABIDAE APERTAE. 



Tribe Carabini. 



Calosojia ^chayeki Eriflison. 

 (? = C. australe Hope; = C. grandipenne Castelnau J 



The description of C. australe Hope reads as if founded on a rather dis- 

 coloured specimen of C. schayeri. 



Hah. — Launeeston, Flinders Is. (Simson) ; King Is. (Lea); widely distributed 

 in Australia. 



Note. — C. oceaiiiciiiii Perroud [^ C. a-ullcri Waterhouse (1898)]. I cannot 

 differentiate C. ualkeri (X.W. Australia) from C. oceauicum (Kew Caledonia).
