funde emarginatus, labrum amplectens. Caput maximum ; 

 mandibulEe crassas validasque. 



Palpi maxillares (modice labiales latissime securifurmes.) 



Labrimi parvum, antice profunde emarginatum, margine antico 

 declivi excavato. 



Antenna tenues, thoracis basi breviores, apicem versus attenu- 

 atte, articulis septem ultimis elongato-quadratis, angustis, 

 valde compressis et utrinque omnino glabris, margine tan- 

 tum utroque pubesceute, ultimo pra3cedente plus dimidio 

 longiore, apicem versus sensim angustato, subacumiuato, 

 summo apice piligero. 



Frosternum inter coxas triangulare subexcavatum. 



JEpisterna metasterni latitudine longiora. 



Abdominis segmenta postice medio baud punctigera, 



Tibice anticte extus bidigitatae intermediee extus apice spina 

 longiuscula tenui armata. 



Elytrorum margo tenuis (ut in Oarenis), ad humeros baud 

 inflatus, usque ad pedunculum productus. 



Habitus elongatus, elytris elongato-ovatis, convexis. 



With two exceptions, the above is an exact copy of Baron de 

 Chaudoir's description of this genus. I have inserted a descrip- 

 tion of the Palpi, which were wanting in the Baron's specimen, 

 and I have omitfed the word " impunctatis," as applied to the 

 elytra, as I have now to desci'ibe a species which has four 

 punctures on the elytra, as in Garenum Bonellii, and yet is a 

 most perfect example of the genus Garenidium. 



Carenididm Damelii. 



Subnitidum supra ceneo-viride subtus nigrum, elytris quadri- 



punctatis obsolete striato-punctatis. 

 Long. 14 lin., lat. 4J lin. 

 Hab., Cape York. 

 A single specimen of this fine insect was taken at Cape York, 

 by Mr. Damel, after whom I have named it.
