pretty wide basal pit and an obsolete longitudinal line ; elytra 

 one-fourth as broad again as tborax, and a little longer ; 

 abdomen parallel, tbe base of tbe segments very slightly im- 

 pressed ; in the male the apex of the seventh segment is trun- 

 cated above, densely and finely crenulate, on each side slightly 

 denticulate, a small triangular prominence below. 



Length.— 2\ mill. 



Localif)/. — Adelaide. 



C. cribrella, Fauvel, I., p. 119. 



A little smaller than C. ausi rails, black all over, with more 

 scattered and grey pubescence, antenna dark brown, feet a 

 dirty red, tarsi of lighter tint ; antenna? more slender, the head 

 having no impressioji, more sparsely and equally punctate, 

 thorax deeply so, elytra thickly and finely, while the abdominal 

 punctures are often slightly rough ; thorax much narrower, 

 subcordate, more convex, a little longer than broad, base 

 foveolate, posterior extremities nearly right angles ; elytra 

 one-third broader than thorax, slightly longer ; top of abdomen 

 a little narrower, subnitid, the base of the 2-4 segments 

 strongly impressed transversely. 



Length. — 2^ mill.

Fauvelia, Tate (Correa, Fauvel). 



Genus allied to Aleochara. Body parallel. Head much 

 larger, more prominent. Mandibles stout, protruding. Eyes 

 minute. Maxillary palps with a very distinct minute joint 

 (fifth) added. Anterior and intermediate tibiae very spinose. 

 Tarsi short, five-jointed, the first joint of the posterior pair 

 about two inches in length, the fifth equal in length to the 

 three preceding put together. 



This new generic group, from its five- jointed maxillary 

 palps, should be placed near Aleochara^ having much of the same 

 appearance as the parallel species (jiitida, &c.), although it 

 rather recalls some species of OxyteJus. However, the totally 

 different form of the posterior tarsi is sufficient distinction — 

 the first joint of these being like Aleochara, half as long again 

 as the following joint. 



F. oxytelina, Fauvel, II., p. 128. 



About the size of Aleochara nitida, but much longer and 

 narrower, in appearance like Oxytelus insecatiis, parallel, 

 brilliant, with scanty short dark-brown pubescence, black, the 

 palpae, three first joints of antennae, the elytra (except perhaps 

 the very bottom and the sides, which are dark-brown), and the
