edge, hiding under logs or other shelter. I have taken them in 

 November.

HARPALIN/E. 



Harpalinae — BisetoscC. 

 Tribe — Panagceini. 

 532. Epicosinuti australasice, Chd. (August). 

 A well-known and widely distributed species. About twelve 

 years ago it was very numerous in the Birchip district, but since 

 then it has become almost extinct. 



Tribe — Bembidiini. 

 953- Bembidium jacksoniense, Guer. 

 This small, active species may be seen in large numbers in the 

 spring running on the mud at the edges of waterholes. B. siob- 

 viride, Macl., and B. ocellatum, Blkb., are listed as synonyms,

 7486. M. curtus, SI. 



Very rare. Described in 1894 from a single specimen found

650. M. lateralis, Cast. (Nov.) 

 7491. M. puncbatus, SI. (Sept.) 



The species of Mecyclothorax known to me are all similar in 

 their habits, being found on the ground under dry leaves during 

 the winter and spring. 



M. punctatus, SI., is remarkable in having the prolhorax 

 strongly punctate. 



7509. Epelyx lindensis, Blkb. 



Found (rarely) on tree trunks, sometimes under the bark. 



7499. Amblytelus brevis, Blkb. (Sept.) 

 A. discoidalis, Blkb. (Sept.) 

 Taken under bark on tree trunks. From the habits and 

 appearance of this genus one would expect it to be allied to the 

 Lebiini. 



Tribe — Trigonotomini. 



Sub-tribe — Morionini.
