74 ON THE SCARITID^ OF NEW HOLLAND, 



elytron, with the intervals wide and smooth, two impressed but 

 minute punctures are visible in the third stria, one about the 

 middle, the other near the apex. The legs are as in the last 

 described species, but of a darker colour. 



The remainder of the Scaritidfe I must make the subject of 

 another paper. They are all small insects, allied,if not belonging- 

 to the genus Olivina. Two only, so far as I know, have been 

 described, — Olivina hasalis, Chaud, (Bull. Mosc. 1843, p. 733) ; 

 and Olivina AustralasicB, Boh em, (Voy. de la Freg. Eugen. 2, p. 8). 

 There are at least six species not uncommonly met with in 

 collections : which are to be found under logs and stones in. 

 moist places.
