64 ON THE SCARITID^ OF NEW HOLLAND, 



This species is of a less elongate form than G. Bonellii, and 

 much narrower than G. mtermptum. It is entirely of a dullish 

 black without any apparent marginal colouring. 



Carendm Kingii. 



Nigrum nitidum violaceo-marginatum sulcis frontalibus paral- 

 lelis, thorace subtranverso postice rotundato subemarginato, 

 elytris opacis bipunctatis, tibiis anticis extus bideutatis. 

 Long. 9 lin., lat. 3 lin. 

 Hab., Liverpool Plains. 

 The Rev. R. L. King has kindly lent me this insect for 

 description. It was taken by him at Goondo Goonoo, Liverpool 

 Plains, and is I believe unique in his collection. The dull 

 appearance of the elytra is caused by close and minute punctura- 

 tion, as in the case of C. opacum and others of the genus. 



Carenum propinquum. 



Nigrum nitidum violaceo-marginatum sulcis frontalibus sub- 

 parallelis, thorace subtransverso antice transversim impresso 

 postice rotundato subemarginato, elytris subtilissime striato- 

 punctatis postice fortiter bipunctatis, tibiis anticis extus 

 bidentatis. 



Long. 6 lin., lat. 2 lin. 



Hab., Liverpool Plains. 



The insect differs from the last, which it closely resembles, in 

 its small size, in the transverse impression on the anterior portion 

 of the thorax, and in the sculpture of the elytra, which are not 

 dull, are minutely striato-punctate, and have the two punctures 

 near the apex large and deep. 



The Rev. Mr. King captured this insect in the same locality 

 as the last described one. 



Carenum nitescens. 



Nigrum nitidissimum planum capite bisulcato sulcis latis rugosis 

 divergentibus, thorace subquadrato angulis posticis rotun- 

 dato linea dorsali fortiter impresso postice utrinque foveolato,
