Seirotrana ereuicnllis Pasc. = ,S'. de>iticollis Cart. I now consider the latter 

 as merely a variety of the former (a Victorian species) ; and that Mr. Dulxmlay 

 was mistaken as to the locality of capture. 



Cardiothorax marcixatu.s^ n.sp. (Text-fig-. 4.) 



Elongate-ovate, polished black, antennae reddish-brown, tarsi with red tomen- 

 tum beneath, llead smooth on front, minutely punctate on clypeus, the latter 

 produced in middle, the usual frontal impression deep. Frothuray ciirdate, wide:-;!, 

 before middle, arcuate-emarginate at apes, front angles rounded, sides well 

 rounded, sinuate behind, dentate posterior angles pointing obliquely backward; 

 foliate margins divided from disc by sulcus, lateral border wide and I'ound. disc 



Text-fig. 4. Caidiotlwyax inarginaius. 

 Text-fig. ia. Cardiothorax walckenaerii Hope. 



%.ith flue medial sulcus, a ti'ansverse suleate impression parallel to and near liast, 

 and two deep triangular foveae near hind angles. Scutellum with a single large 

 puncture. Eli/tra slightly wider than prothorax at base, humeri obsolete, suleate, 

 intervals of uniform width, flat on disc, a little convex at sides and apex; under- 

 side smooth. Dimensiuiis : 16 — 17 X 5^ — Q mm. 



Hah. — Mittagong (Mr. Deuquet) ; also Blue Mountains (H. J. Carter). 



Two examples from Mittagong, and a specimen I have fro.ni Newnes, which 

 I think is eonspeciflc, are allies of the common Sydney species C. walckenaerii 

 Hope. The following distinctions necessitate a speeifle name : 



niarginatus. 

 Colour. Polished black. 

 Clypeus. Produced in middle. 

 Prothorax. Border wide. 



Transverse sulcus near base. 

 Latero-basal foveae triangu- 

 lar, running into lateral 

 depression . 

 Elytra .—V^Wa 7 flattish intervals on 

 disc; space beyond these 

 smooth, with the usual lateral 

 striae . 



walckenaerii (Text-fig. 4(;.) 

 Sub-nitid bronze-black. 

 Widely rounded. 

 Border narrow. 

 None. 



Basal foveae elongate (parallel to medial 

 line), not connected with lateral depres- 

 sion. 



With 8 convex intervals: space beyond 

 these with 2 rows of large punctures.
