Clivina ephippiata Putzeys (1867) [= C. felix Sloane, 1896 = C eximia 

 Sloane, 1890]. — Having seen specimens from Java, and having obtained many 

 more Australian specimens, chiefly from tropical Australia, I have no hesitation in 

 placing my species ('. felix and ('. eximia under C. epliippiuta as synonjins. The 

 differences on which I relied to separate C. felix and C. eximia were not of speci- 

 fic value. — Australia, Celebes, .Java. 



Calosoma oceavicum Perroud (1864) [= C. walkeri Waterhouse, 1898].- — 

 Both C. oceanicum Perr., and C. ualkeri Waterh., are known to me, but I cannot 

 differentiate them. I brought this opinion before Mr. H. E. Andrewes, of Lon- 

 don, and, after looking into the matter, he has written to me tliat lie concurs in 

 this synonymy.- -Australia, New Caledonia.

Diaplioromerus melanarius Dejean (1829) . — I now restrict the genus Giiatha- 

 phamis to species having at least the third interstice of the elytra pluripunctate.

 merus. — Australia, New Caledonia.
