430 DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF CARENUM, 



Philoscaphus tuberculatus, Macl. 



N.S.W. — Deniliquin, Mulwala, Narrandera, Condobolin, Coona- 

 barabran, Nebea, Narrabri, Gragin : Q. — Finche's Creek. 



Laccopterum loculosum, Newm. = L. variolosum, Macl. 



A widespread species ; very variable in size and appearance. 

 I do not think L. variolosum can be maintained as a separate 

 species. 



N.S.W. — Murrumbidgee (Macleay), Forest Reefs (Lea), Mul- 

 wala : Victoria — Melbourne (Masters). 



Carenum (Calliscapterus) campestre, Macl. 



N.S.W. — Murrumbidgee (Macleay), Wilcannia District (Ellis), 

 Liverpool Plains District (Peel), Mulwala, Nebea. 



C. (Calliscapterus) odewahni, Casteln. = C. ordinatum, Macl. 

 S.A. (Castelnau, Macleay, &c). 



C. distinctum, Macl. 

 N.S.W. — Murrumbidgee (Macleay), Condobolin. 



Carenum Bonellii, Brulle, = C. viridipenne, Westw. = C. west- 

 ivoodi, Casteln. = C. scitulum, Macl. 



I believe de Castelnau was right in regarding C. viridipenne 

 as a synonym of C. Bonellii, and I consider his C. westwoodi in 

 the same light. As regards C. scitulum, from examination of a 

 type specimen in the Australian Museum I am convinced it is 

 founded on what may be regarded as a mere " sport " of C. 

 Bonellii, — specimens being occasionally found without the anterior 

 discoidal punctures of the elytra. Of two specimens found by 

 me at Springwood, Blue Mountains, one had the four punctures 

 as usual, the other had the posterior punctures marked as decidedly 

 as usual, but no trace of either of the anterior punctures, yet 

 there could be no doubt both were the same species — C. Bonellii. 



Victoria. — Lakes Entrance (Du Boulay) ; N.S.W. — Sydney 

 (Lea), Mt. Kosciusko (Castelnau), Goulburn, Appin, Springwood.
