Tribe — Apotomini. 

 285. Apotomus aicstralis, Cast. (July). 

 My specimens were taken floating in water-channels, so that it 

 may not really be a local species. 



Tribe — Harpalini. 

 656. Gnatliaphaniis adelaidce, Cast. (Sept.-Nov.) 

 This typical Harpalid is found throughout Australia and 

 Tasmania, and is very common in the springtime, 



G. latus, Si., P.L.S. N.S.W., 1899, part 4, p. 455. 

 I have taken this species under logs at Green Lake, 6 

 miles south of Sea Lake, in November. 



7436. Fhorticosoniics hrunneios, Blkb. 



678. Hypharpax deyrollei, Cast. 

 7456, H. inornatus, Germ. (Sept.-April). 

 Often found in flood waters. 



7461. H. vilis, Blkb. 



This and the three preceding species are similar in their habits. 

 During the winter months they appear to burrow into the ground 

 and remain in a semi-torpid condition until the warm weather 

 sets in. 



668. Cenogmus rotundicollis, Cast. (May-Nov.) 



669. C. waferhousei, Cast. (May-Nov.) 



The species belonging to this genus were formerly placed in 

 Anisodactylus, but were removed to Cenogmus by Mr. Sioane in 

 1898, on the ground that the former genus did not properly 

 belong to Australia. 



Notophilus gracilis, Blkb. 

 N. Icetus, Blkb. 

 I have found both these species under debris round the edges 

 of waterholes in October. 

 646. Psilonothtos (^Amblygnathus) viinutus, Cast. 

 This highly-polished little Harpalid is found in the Sea Lake 

 district on sand-hills, under logs and sticks, &c,, in November. 

 I include it in Psilonothus on Mr. Sloane's authority, who con- 

 siders that Amblygnathus is not an Australian genus. 



7462. Thenarotes australis, Blkb. 



7463. T. discoidalis, Blkb. 

 707. T. tasmaiiicus, Bates. 



Three well-known species, usually found on the margins of 

 waterholes. On sultry summer evenings they sometimes fly 

 indoors to the light in large numbers. 



Tribe — Chl^nini. 

 567. Oodes inornatus, Cast. 

 571. 0. modestus, Cast. 

 These two species have a decided partiality for the water's
