56 ON THE SCARITID^ OF NEW HOLLAND, 



A. Tibice anticce extus biclentatce. 

 1. — Carendm Bonelli, Westw. (Arc. Ent. 1, page 83.) 

 Carenum cyaneum, Bonelli. (op. cit.) Brulle, Hist., Nat. Ins. t. 5, 

 p. 63, pi. 2, fig. 6. 

 " Nigrum, pronoto et elytris viridi late marginatis, horum 

 carina marginali violacea ; disco laevi, punctis duobus 

 versus basin alterisque duobus subapicalibus, pronoto in 

 medio fossula longitudinali et transverse striato, basi utrin- 

 que oblique impresso ; tibiis anticis exterue bidentatis." — 

 Westwood. 

 Long. 10 lin., lat. 3 lin. 

 Hab. New South Wales. 

 This is the most common species of the family and seems to 

 be found under logs and stones throughout all the Eastern part 

 of Australia. Bonelli believed it to be identical with the Fabin- 

 cian species cijaneum. Westwood, who, on reference to the 

 Fabrician specimen in the Cabinet of the Linnean Society, dis- 

 covered this to be a mistake, has named this species after 

 Bonelli. 



2. — Carendm marginatum, Westw. (Arc. Ent. 1, page 84.) 

 Arnidius marginatus, Leach. 



" Nigrum, nitidum, laeve ; pronoto elytrisque marginatis, mar- 

 gine viridi ; palpis piceis, elytris ovalibus punctis duobus 

 subapicalibus, tibiis anticis externe dentibus duobus magnis 

 alterisque duobus minutis mediis." — Westwood. 



Long. 10 lin., lat. 4 lin. 



Hab. New South Wales — South Australia. 



This species seems also to have an extensive range, but it is 

 not by any means so common as the last. I have a Carenum from 

 South Australia, which resembles this insect, and which I have 

 placed with it, but being entirely of a glossy black, it may prove 

 to be a distinct species. 



3. — Carenum perplexum, Wliite. (App. Grey's Voy. 2, page 456.) 

 " Nigro-cyaneum, elytris subvii'idescentibus, basi subquadratis, 

 dorso impunctatis ; tibiis anticis extus bispinosis." — White. 

 Long. 8 lin., lat. 2| lin. 

 Hab. Kins' Georoje's Sound.
