112 REVISIONAL NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN CARABID.f:, 11., 



elytra much thicker and more retlexed at shoulders, posterior 

 tibife not strongly dilatate externally at apex. 



ScARAPHiTES HiRTiPES, Maclcay. 



Trans. Ent. Soc. N. S. Wales, 1864, i. p. 147; Sc. crenaticollis, 

 Macl., I.e. p.l48; Sc. assimilis, SI., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 

 1893 (2), viii. p.452. 



The characters by which I sought to differentiate Sc. assimilis 

 from Sc. hirtipes, Macl., do not now appear to me to justify its 

 being regarded as different.

ScARAPHiTES ROTUNDiPENNis, Dejean. 



Scarites rotundipennis, Dej., Spec. i. 1825, p.401: Scaraphites 

 macleayi, Westw., Arcau. Ent. i. 1842, p. 157; Sc. intermedius, 

 Macl., Trans. Ent. Soc. N. S. Wales, 1865, i. p.l90; Sc. insulanus, 

 SI., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2), iii. 1888, p. 1106. 



Castelnau suggested* that Sc. macleayi, Westw., and Sc. inter- 

 medins, Macl., were synonyms of Sc. rotundijyennis, Dej., in 

 which view he was evidently right. I have examined the type 

 specimens of Sc. intermedius in the Macleay Museum, and com- 

 pared them with specimens of Sc. rotundipennis without being 

 able to find any specific difference. Sc. insulanus, SI., cannot be 

 maintained as distinct from Sc. rotundipennis.
