The absence of discoidal elytral punctures approximates this 

 species to Carenum ineditutn, Mach, and some others which 

 have only two teeth on the external margin of the front tibise. 

 Its nearest ally, however, appears to be C. Macleayi, Blackb., 

 from which it differs (independently of colour) by the longer 

 frontal sulci of its head ; its wider prothorax, the hind angles of 

 which are less rounded off — the base being a gently bisinuate 

 line as long as, and (along its whole length) parallel to, the front 

 margin ; and its elytra narrower anteriorly. 



McDonnell Ranges, Central Australia; taken by Mr. A. S. 

 Wild. 



N.B. — The above species appears to be identical with Carenum 

 traoisversicolle, Chaud., but as its author has not described that 

 species, having done little more than mention some of its differ- 

 ences from its allies, I think it is well to furnish a formal 

 description.

This species may be placed in the " section " of M. Patzeys' 

 " Revision Gen. des Clivinides " in which the author places C. 

 Australasice, C. vagans, tfec. The clypeus is only very gently 

 concave in front, those parts which M. Putzeys calls its " wings " 

 being scarcely defined but being fairly distinct from what he calls 

 the " large wings " of the head. The structure of these parts is 

 not unlike the same in C. melanojyyga, Putz., but the front of the 

 clypeus is even less concave. The portion of the head behind the 

 clypeus is vaguely impressed down the middle, and its front part
