424 CARABID.E FROM TROPICAL AUSTRALIA_, 



lateral margins oblique, uneven; each lateral mark small, irre 

 gular, extending across interstices 6-9, produced backwards on 

 eighth and ninth interstices, divided from central plaga by fifth 

 interstice. Length, 10-5: breadth, 5 mm. ^ 



Hab. — North- West Australia. Unique in Coll. Sloane. 



One specimen was given to me by Mr. H. M. Giles, of Perth, 

 as from the Drvsdale River [west of Cambridge Gulf, about lat. 

 15°, long. 127°]. Differs from all other described species of the 

 genus by the larger oblique slope of the apical curve of the 

 elvtra, and the light sutural emargination opposite the extremi- 

 ties of the three inner interstices : the outer angles of the 

 sutural emargination, though obtuse, are marked.

Eulebia Macleay, 1871. 



Lebia melanota Chaudoir.

 Mad, Proc. Ent. Soc. X. S. Wales, ii., 1871, p.87. 



Masters, in his Catalogue, furnishes the above synonymy, but 

 gives the preference to Macleay 's name. I am not sure which 

 name was published first, but Chaudoir's paper was read several 

 months before Macleay's; in any case, Macleay's name would fail, 

 owing to the previous use of Lebia plagiata by Germar.

Eulebia picipennis Macleay, Proc. Ent. Soc. K. S. Wales, ii,, 

 1871, p.87. Lebia papuensis Macl., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.Wales, 

 1876, i., p.l67. 



An examination of the type of L. papuensis Mac!., in the 

 Macleay Museum, in comparison with specimens of L. picipen7ns 

 Macl., from Queensland, compelled me to regard these names as. 

 synonymous.
