taken by myself at Mount Macedon, Victoria (the original 

 habitat of L. nit i da, Pasc), which I cannot distinguish from 

 the Tasmanian specimens, but which are quite unlike the type 

 of L. nitida, Pasc. 



L. sylvicola, Blackb. 



The description of this is very meagre and unsatisfactory ; if 

 I have identified this correctly, the intervals of the elytra are 

 distinctly unequal, the third and fifth interval being wider 

 than the rest. It appears to be widely distributed in New 

 South Wales, and is variable in size. A species commonly 

 taken by the author at Medlow (Blue Mountains) differs from 

 L. sylvicola in its slighter puncturation of head and thorax, 

 the latter with faint, sometimes obsolete, impressed middle line 

 and foveae. I cannot at present see any reason for giving it 

 specific rank, but it should be known by a varietal name, for 

 which I propose L. montium. 



L. (CARDIOTHORAX) ANGUSTICOLLIS, Cart. 



This species should be referred to Licinoma, though its 

 elytral sculpture is like that of many of the smaller Cardio- 

 thoraces. The prothorax is entirely that of a Licinoma.
