350 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN ENTOMOLOGY, XV., 



(18th Jan., 1906) after rain, crossing a track in open forest land; 

 from this it would appear that it is not a riparian species like the 

 typical species of Clivina. 



Tribe SCARITINI. 



Genus Scaraphites. 



ScARAPHiTES HiRTiPES Macleay. 



By a vexatious error in my Check-List of the Australian 

 Carabidse, Pt. i. (1905), Sc. hirtipes Macl., has been placed as a 

 synonym of Sc. latipennis Macl. The differences between these 

 species and their synonymy have been dealt with by me in these 

 Proceedings (1905, pp. Ill and 112), and I still hold the views 

 there expressed. 



Scaraphites len^eus Westwood. 



Since dealing with Sc. lenceus Westwood, in these Proceedings 

 (1905, p. Ill), I have received from Mr. J. A. Kershaw of 

 Melbourne, a specimen ticketed Scaraphites martini Cast., which 

 agrees more closely with Westwood's figure than the specimen of 

 Sc. latipennis Macl., which I formerly identified as Sc. lenceus, 

 Mr. Kershaw's specimen has the prothorax with the sides more 

 strongly sinuate posteriori}^ and the basal angles far more 

 strongly marked than in Mr. Lea's specimen (in which these 

 features are feebly developed); thereby showing a stronger 

 resemblance to Westwood's figure, though to me both specimens 

 seem forms of one species — this suggests that Sc. latipenyiis 

 Macl., from King George's Sound, is probably a slightly differen- 

 tiated form or variety of Sc. lenceus, the typical form being from 

 the West Coast. The ticket on Mr. Kershaw's specimen is an 

 old one, and seems to offer a clue to the identity of Sc. martini 

 Cast., with Sc. lenceus Westw., rather than with Sc. silenus 

 Westw., as conjectured by me (these Proceedings, 1905, p. 111). 



Genus Euryscaphus. 



In these Proceedings (1905, p. 113) I have said that the type 

 of Euryscaphus carhonarius Cast., is no longer in existence.
