Four specimens; the one measuring 7 '2 mm. in length is, 

 judging from the otlier three, an unusually small specimen. 



Closely allied to C. m.adp.ayi, SI., but differing in having the 

 eyes more prominent and spherical, the facial sulci shorter, less 

 arcuate and less convergent in front, the frontal fovese deeper; 

 the prothorax more convex, the sides not sinuate and much more 

 strongly rounded to anterior angles^ the anterior margin less 

 emarginate, the anterior angles obtusely rounded and less marked; 

 the elytra with distinctly crenulate striie, the eighth interstice 

 indicated near apex; the metasternum longer and with a deeply 

 impressed channel near external margin, the metasternal episterna 

 a little longer and with a strongly marked channel near inner 

 margin; the colour deep black. 



Dyschirius macleayi, n.sp. 



Robust, convex. Head strongly depressed between eyes, front 

 carinate in middle, clypeus deeply and roundl}^ emarginate with 

 prominent lateral angles; elytra convex, basal part — in front of 

 testaceous fascia — strongly punctate-striate (eight rows of punc- 

 tures); anterior tibiae 3-dentate. Head piceous black; prothorax 

 shining bronzy-black; elytra ferruginous with a bronzy tinge, a 

 wide testaceous fascia across apical third; legs, antennae and 

 under surface of prothorax reddish, bod}^ reddish piceous. 



Clypeus declivous, anterior margin roundly emarginate, lateral 

 angles advanced, obtuse at apex; supra-antennal plates large, 

 quadrate, bordered, projecting widely and sharply beyond clypeus, 

 declivous on inner side, anterior angles obtuse, anterior margins 

 oblique; front depressed, a longitudinal carina in centre, two 

 transverse impressions on each side between central carina and 

 supra-antennal plates; vertex convex, smooth; supra-orbital carinse 

 well developed, thick; ej^es globose, prominent. Prothorax 

 globose, lfe\'igate, a light transverse impression near anterior 

 margin; median line wanting; marginal channel of base punctate. 

 Elytra rounded on sides; shoulders rounded; stripe consisting of 

 rows of deep coarse punctures, first stria only reaching apex, a 

 short deep stria near margin on each side of apex; interstices
