" Nigro-cyaneum glaberrimum, elytris sub-piirpurasccntibus, et 

 versus basin et apicem bipunctatis, tibiis anticis extus 

 triclentatis ." — Fabricius . 

 Long. 5| lin., lat. 2 lin. 

 Hab. North Australia ? 

 This is the original species described by Fabricius. I believe 

 the only specimen known is in the museum of the Linnean So- 

 ciety. Mr. Westwood has proposed to change the name to 

 Fahricii because Bonelli confounded it with another species, I 

 can scarcely however see the justice of depriving Fabricius of his 

 name, because a subsequent writer may have made a mistake.

 " C. pronoto transverse elytrisque nitidissime caaruleo-viridibus, 



his versus apicem bipunctatis, tibiis anticis extus triden- 



tatis." — Westwood. 

 Long. 8| lin., lat. 3 lin. 

 Hab. Swan River. 



19. — Carenum Spencii, Westw. (Arc. Ent. 1, p. 85.) 

 " Nigrum, subopacum, tibiis anticis extus tridentatis, elytris

 elytro ordinatis, spatiis intermediis elevatis." — Westwood. 

 Long. 9 lin., lat. 3 lin. 

 Hab. Hunter's River District. 



20. — Carenum loculosum, Newm. (Entomologist, p. 369.) 

 " Nignim fronte profunde longitudinaliter bisulcata, prothorace 

 transverse lunato medio longitudinaliter sulcato : elytris 

 foveis magnis prave dispositis asperis ; tibiis anticis den- 

 tibus 2 longis externis spinisque 2 internis armatis ; tibiis 

 intermediis dentibus 5 — 6 extei'nis minutis spinis 2 apica-

 Long. 7| lin., lat. 3 lin.

 is identical with an insect which I have received in a collection
