238 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, II., 



locality and description, and I have taken it commonly in the 

 Newcastle district. C. brevicollis is figured so well in the 'Reise 

 der Novara ' that I have little doubt in identifying a black species 

 in Mr. F. Taylor's collection from Shoalhaven as corresponding to 

 ; the type, while a species from Oberon in the W. Blue Mountains 

 .differs very slightly in colour (dark bronze) and in rather more 

 marked hind angles to prothorax.* Two specimens marked C. 

 .brevicollis in the Macleay Museum are of the latter type. I have 

 two specimens from Ourimbah, N.S.W., which correspond very 

 ■well with the description of C. chalceus. Of G. ceneus there are 

 -specimens both in the Australian Museum and the Macleay 

 Museum which bear the distinct bicoloration noted by Mr. Bates 

 „as well as the other features which point to its identification. 

 These specimens are in both cases labelled Hunter R. I have 

 lately taken four specimens of what I consider to be C. ceneus at 

 Bulladelah in the Upper Hunter district. I have not been able 

 to identify the following seven species — G. ce.ricollis Pasc, C. 

 angulatits Bates, G. captiosus Bates, C. connexus H. Rut., C. 

 distinctus Bates, G. humeralis Bates, C. quadridentatus C. 0. 

 Waterh. 



G. acutangidus Bates. — This seems to be merely a slight 

 -variation of G. Walckenaerii. I have specimens from the Blue 

 Mountains which correspond very well with the description. 

 As Mr. Bates points out, G. cericollis Pasc, is probably only a 

 bronze variety of the same species. The remaining twenty species 

 I have identified with some certainty as follows : — 



C. aratus Pasc. — Co-types from Pine Mountain, Q., in the 

 Macleay Museum. 



G. armipes Bates. — I have one specimen from Rockhampton 

 which exactly corresponds to the description. 



G. caperatus Pasc, is found commonly on the highlands and 

 coast districts of New South Wales and S. Queensland. I took a 

 large number near Glen Innes, N.S.W. 



# Redtenbaeher describes it as black, while Bates in his tabulation says, 

 -" black, with a greenish tinge."
