476 A SECOND NOTE ON THE CARENIDES, 



specimens of Eutoma, must record my conviction that both these 

 names should merge with E. hipunclatum, Macl., and further, that 

 a species which is common on the sandhills along the Murray, 

 which seems undoubtedly E. loddonense, Casteln., is identical. 

 The localities of my specimens are Coomooboolaroo, near Rock- 

 hampton, Q. (Barnard), Castlereagh and Murray Rivers, N.S.W. 

 (Sloane). 



EuTOMA FRENCHI, n.sp. 



Narrow, cylindric, smooth ; prothorax with three marginal 

 punctures on each side ; elytra quadri-punctate. 



Shining metallic green with bluish tints, legs, mesosternum, 

 and metasternum black ; the bluish tints more marked on head 

 and prothorax, the under-surface of these rather blue than green. 

 Head large (2-5 x 3 mm.), convex ; frontal sulci deep, narrow, 

 long, oblique, converging forwards in a straight course with a short 

 sinuosity in front, their outward course interrupted before the 

 clypeal puncture, very lightly marked between it and anterior 

 margin of head ; clypeal puncture strongly impressed ; pre-ocular 

 process conspicuous, not divided from the space between the eye 

 and the frontal sulcus ; eyes very deeply inclosed in orbits ; the 

 post-ocular prominences almost equalling the eyes in size. Pro- 

 thorax a little longer than broad (3-5 x 3-25 mm.), convex, 

 declivous behind; sides almost parallel before the posterior angles, 

 shortly narrowed behind them ; anterior margin truncate, the 

 angles lightly and narrowly advanced ; posterior angles rounded ; 

 base widely and roundly sub-lobate in middle ; a very light 

 sinuosity on each side of the middle part of the base, border 

 narrow, lightly reflexed, everywhere of equal width, without any 

 sinuosity on middle of base ; marginal channel very narrow ; 

 median line lightly marked ; a distinct transverse line defining the 

 basal part ; three marginal punctures on each side, as in Carenum 

 bonelliiy &c. Elytra narrow, subcylindric (7 x 3-5 mm.), very 

 lightly rounded on sides ; base truncate, roundly declivous to 



tP.L.S.N.S.W. 1891, vi. (2), p. 431.
