two rows, on anterior tarsi long and near sides of joints: penul- 

 timate joint of anterior tarsi emarginate, of intermediate tarsi 

 triangular (in 9 short, wide, subemarginate), of posterior verv 

 small: posterior tarsi with joints successively slioiter towards 

 apex, first joint not as long as two succeeding joints together, 

 fifth joint glabrous beneath. Length, 6"5; breadth, 2*5 mm. 



Hah. — Tropical Queensland. Types in Coll. Sloane. Speci- 

 mens occurred to me at King's Plains Cattle Station, on the 

 Upper Norman by River. Cooktown District, in July. 



Differs conspicuously from our other species of the genus 

 Euthenarus by colour, larger size, more strongly punctate pro- 

 thorax, also by the want of tlie basal fovea of the abdomen: this 

 last feature has been given a high importance in rc-ent classifi- 

 cations of the Harpalini, but I do not thiid< its absence out- 

 weighs other evidences of affinity, therefore have placed E. 

 hrumteua in the genus Eitthenarns. 



Tribe Odacanthini. 



The (juestion, whetiier Lacordaires tribes Odacaiithides, 

 Ctenodactylides, Trigonodactylides, and Anchonoderides should 

 l)e recognised as separate tribes, or should be united in one tribe, 

 Odacanthida3,.need not be considered here, foi', in the Australian 

 fauna, only the tribe Odacanthini occurs: but 1 believe that at 

 least the Anchonoderides sliould be united to the Odacanthini. 

 The position of this ti'ibe is neai' the Anchomenini: the opening 

 of the inner side of the anterior coxal cavities is single as in the 

 Anchomenini, not double as in the Helluonini and J)ryptini. 

 Our species have been distributed (in some cases with doubt) 

 amongst the genera Odacanlha, Camionia, 0]>hio'nea, Lachito- 

 fliorax^ and Eudnl'm. 1 now propose to delete the genera Oda- 

 ranthd and Casnoiiia from the Australian fauna: tlie species, 

 which have been assigned to these two genera, arc here referred 

 elsewhere. Odacanlha luicaiis MacL, becomes the type of a new 

 genus, Itasisticlias: and Casuonia alieiia Pascoe, the type of a 

 new genus, Clarencia: Casnonia obscicra Cast., and C. ampli- 

 pMiuis Gestro, are referred to Endalia; C. globulicollis MacL, 

 C. riverince SI., and L. formicoides SI., I have already placed in
