180 ON THE SCARITID^ OF NEW HOLLAND, 



Long. 9 lin., lat 2 \m. 



Hab. Riclimond River. 

 This insect is of an elongated form, and of a brilliant black. 

 The head and thorax are like those of G. tinctillatum. The 

 elytra are jet black, narrowly margined with violet, and are seen 

 to be marked with punctured strige when examined with a 

 powerful lens. The fore tibiae are bidentate externally. 



7. — Caeenum subrugosulum. 



Nigrum nitidifisimum angustum, elytris subviolaceis sub lente 



rugosis postice bipunctatis, tibiis auticis extus bidentatis. 

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

 Hab. New Holland. 

 In form and colour this species resembles G. tinctillatum, its 

 distinguishing marks being a deep impression at the base of the 

 thorax on each side of the medial line, and the appearance under 

 a lens of transverse wrinkles on the elytra. 



The only specimen I know of this insect is in the collection of 

 the late W. S. MacLeay, Esq. It is labelled " New Holland." 



8. — Carenum glaberrimum. 



Nigrum nitidum angustum, elytris glaberrimis violaceo- 

 marginatis postice bipunctatis, tibiis anticis extus bidentatis. 

 Long. 8 lin., lat. 2 lin. 

 Hab. New South Wales. 

 This species is smaller than the two preceding, and is of a 

 less brilliant black. The elytra are perceptibly narrower than 

 the thorax, but this is the case to some extent throughout all 

 this group. The elytra are also narrowly margined with a violet 

 tinge, and are without any visible sculpture. This insect is also 

 represented by a single specimen in the late Mr. MacLeay's 

 collection. 



9. — Cai.'endm unddlatum. 



Nigrum nitidissimum angustum, elytris violaceo-marginatis 

 sub lente striis undulatis tenuiter notatis postice bipunc- 

 tatis, tibiis anticis extus bidentatis. 



Long. 9 lin., lat. 2 5 lin. 



Hab. Wingelo.
