1106 OJ? THE CARENIDES, WITH DESCRIPTIOKS OF NEW SPECIES, 
Carenum scaritioides, Westw'., and its congeners by their large 
head, with the frontal sulci diverging widely behind. I do not 
see how these latter can be placed in a different sub-genus to 
Carenum Bonelli, Brulle. 
3. Epilectus. This seems a very distinct genus, which will 
probably prove of equal value with Scaraphites, Euryscaphus, and 
Carenum. I believe Neocarenum Mastersi, Mach, will come into 
this genus. T have lately seen in the Melbourne Museum a 
species which I attribute to this genus. It was taken by Mr. 
Kershaw in the north-west of Victoria. 
SCARAPIIITES IXSUL.ANUS, Sp.nov. 
Kigpr, subnitidus; capite transverso-quadrato, supra oculos 
uuipunctato, fronte bifoveolata ; protliorace subcordato, laevi, 
postice utrinque obliquo, basi leviter emarginato, canaliculato ; 
ehjtris subcouvexis, nonniliil obovatis, striis quiuque singulatim 
leviter impressis, serie sublaterali distantium punctorum notati.s, 
marginibus humeros versus confertim punctatis ; txhiis anticis 
extus tridentatis, intermediis apice dilatatis, extus valde dentatis. 
Long. 22 mm., lat. 12|^. 
Black, rather dull. Head broad (6 x 10)* and rectangular, 
the frontal fovese rugose, likewise the mandibles, a single puncture 
above each eye. Prothorax transverse (7 xll), wider than the 
head, widest in fiont, the sides straight and a little narrowed to 
the posterior angles which are rounded, behind sloping obliquely 
on each side to the base which is lightly emarginate, the disc 
smooth, the median line lightly impressed, ending both in front 
and behind in a faint transvei'se line. Elytra rather obovate 
(16 X 12|), the lateral margins wider in front, thickened and 
strongly turned inwards at the humeral angles; along the anterior 
half of the margins a clo.sely placed row of ocellated punctures; on 
each elytron five lightly imj)ressed punctulate strise, and on the 
*In this and the following descriptions the length •measured in the 
middle, and the breadth measured at the widest part of the head, thorax 
and body, are indicated by figures (millimetres) in brackets.
