Eutoma is here again united with Carenum. It is a preoccupied 



name* for a group of species which I do not regard as entitled to 



generic rank; therefore I do not attempt to coin a new name for 



it. 



Carenum cupreo -marginatum, Blackburn. 



Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Aust. 1887, x. p. 63; G. ( Chariscapterus) 

 opulensj SI., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, (2) iii. 1888, p.l 11 2. 



I now think Chariscapterus opidens, SI., must be placed as a 

 synonjan of Carenum cupreo-marginatLcm, Blkb., a species which 

 probably varies considerably in size and colour, and very likely 

 has a wide range east, north and west of Eucla. 



Carexum coruscum, Macleay. 



Trans. Ent. Soc. K S. Wales, 1864, i. p. 141. 



From examination of the type in the Macleay Museum, I 

 record that C. coruscum is allied to C. elegaus, Macl., and would 

 come into section " p" of the table I have given of the smarag- 

 dulum-^^voM^ of the genus Carenum in these Proceedings, xxv. 

 1900, p. 371. 



Carenum concinnum, n.sp. 



Elongate-oval, convex; frontal sulci diverging posteriorly; 

 prothorax with posterior angles rounded, base lobate, marginal 

 channel narrow, tripunctate; elytra oval, bipunctate on apical 



* Eutomus, Dej., 1834 {Curculionidir.)
