46 THE VICTORIAN NATUKALIST. [Vol. XXVI. 



Tribe — Licinini. 



Some years ago I took a specimen of what appears to be an 

 undetermined species of Microferonia under a stone near Birchip. 



581. Physolesthus saturalis, Cast. 

 Found under logs at Green Lake in November. 



913. Dicrochile goryi, Boisd. (Nov.) 

 918. D. quadricollis, Cast. (Nov.) 

 These two species are sometimes taken in arid situations, but, 

 like most Carabidse, they prefer the vicinity of water. 



Tribe — Odacanthini. 



Eiidalia niger, SI., P.L.S. N.S.W., part 4, p. 581. 

 A rare species ; easily recognized by its shining black colour, 

 small prothorax, and bicoloured legs. My specimen was taken 

 under a stick at the edge of a waterhole at Sea Lake, in November. 



Tribe — Lebiini. 



The insects placed in this tribe appear to be, with the excep- 

 tion of the three genera placed at the end {Homethes, Dromius, and 

 Scopodes), arboreal in their habits. At any rate, they hide by day 

 under the loose bark of trees, their flattened form being specially 

 adapted for this mode of concealment. When collecting them it 

 is a good plan to spread a piece of white cloth at the base of the 

 tree, as the insects falling on it can be easily seen and captured. 



Xantlwphcea loweri, Blkb. (May-Dec), P.L.S. N.S.W., 

 (2), v., 1890, p. 304. 

 This species is peculiar in that it is found under the bark of 

 dead trees. 



104. Trigonothops flavqfasciata, Chd. (March-Dec.) 

 108. T. pacified, Er. (March-Dec.) 

 7246. Biabaticus minor, Blkb. 



Not common in the Mallee districts. My specimen found 

 amongst dry leaves in September. 



The genus Phlceocarahus is represented by at least one species, 

 but this has not yet been satisfactorily identified. 



181. Agonochila higuttata, Chd. (Oct.) 

 7275. A. fenestrata, Blkb. (May-Dec.) 



187. A. lutosa, Newm. (May-Dec.) 



164. Philophloeus eucalypti, Germ. (May-Dec.) 



167. P. immaculatus, Chd. (May-Dec.) 

 7271. P. opaciceps, Blkb. (May-Dec.) 



176. P. quadripennis, Chd. (May-Dec.) 



178. P. unicolor, Chd. (May-Dec.) 



The species of Philophloeus have in many cases a close general 

 resemblance to each other, more particularly those of a uniform
