G2 ON THE SCARITID^ OF NEW HOLLAND, 



to the descriptions of two species to be added to it, give the 

 Baron's characters of the genus in full. 



One remarkable species, Garjemim mucronatum, which I have 

 described in the Proceedings of the Ent. Soc, N.S.W., of the 

 2nd October, 1865, is not noticed by either of the above named 

 Entomologists, and from that I infer that they have never seen 

 it. I only know of two specimens of it, one in the collection of 

 the Rev. R. L. King, the other in my own. 



The following species are I believe new : — 



Carendm sexpunctatum. 



Nigrum nitidum purpureo-marginatum, elytris sexpunctatis 

 subtilissime striatis, tibiis anticis extus bidentatis. 

 Long. 11 lin., lat. 3| lin. 

 Hab., Lower Murrumbidgee. 

 This species is of the size and general appearance of 0. 

 interruptum, but is altogether more brilliant. Its chief peculiarity 

 consists in having two punctures about a line apart, and parallel 

 to the suture, on the apical third of the elytra. Its habitat 

 seems to be the sand hills of the Riverine country. 



Caeenum ctanipenne. 



Nigrum nitidissimum sulcis frontalibus subparallelis, thorace 

 subquadrato angulis posticis rotundatis subemarginatis, 

 elytris subovatis convexis nigro-cyaneis subpurpurascenti- 

 bus quadripunctatis, tibiis anticis extus bidentatis. 

 Long. 7 lin., lat. 2J lin. 

 Hab., South Australia. 

 The only two species of the G. BonelUi group, to which 

 this insect belongs, heretofore described from South Australia, 

 are C. antliracinimi mihi and C ebeninum Casteln. The present 

 species differs from both in being of less size and more brilliancy. 

 The head is broad, with the facial grooves short and nearly 

 parallel. The thorax is rather broader than long, with the 

 anterior angles somewhat prominent, and the posterior cut away 

 and very slightly emarginated. The elytra are oval, very smooth,
