272 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF ADELIUM, 



To sum up, we have eighty described species. Of these, three 

 are unknown to me — A. punctipenne Boisd., A. rugicolle Boisd. r 

 and A. carinatum Blanch. 



Ten have been referred to other genera, as follows: — A paral- 

 leling, Germ., A. geniculatum Haag-Rut., A. congestum Pasc, A. 

 repandum Pasc, to Seirotrana; A. monilicorne Macl., A. parvulum 

 Macl., A. minutum Lea, A. globulosum Carter, A. minor Carter, 

 to Brycopia; and A. panageicolle Macl., to Dystalica. 



And the following are considered as synonyms or varieties : — 

 A. porcatum Fabr. = A. caraboides Kirby. 



A. licinoides Kirby - A. cisteloides Erichs. = A. helopioides Boisd. 

 A. calosomoides Kirby — A. geniale Pasc.(?) = A. harpaloides Boisd, 

 A. abbreviation Boisd. = A. impressum Blanch. = A. latumFasc. (va,r.) 

 A. virescens Boisd. (?) = A. brevicorne Blessig = A. neophyta Pasc. 

 A. angulicolle Casteln = .4. succisum Pasc. 

 A. plicigerum Pasc. = A. rugosicolle Macl.(vai\). 

 A. striatum Pasc. — A. viridipenne Macl.(var.). 

 A. geminatum Pasc. = A. punctum Cav. 



The first mentioned have the claim to precedence, except in 

 the case of the doubtful A. virescens Boisd. 



This brings the present number of the species to fifty-four, of 

 which the following table will afford some guide.
