Carpophilus sp. in Macadamia Nut.—Mr. Fullaway reported 
an infestation of macadamia nuts by Nitidulid larvae which 
proved, on rearing the larvae to adults, to be a species of Car- 
pophilus. The nuts were not perfect, and it is probable that the 
beetles were attracted by the rancidity of the meat.
