Australian Species of Scaritiile.— In the notice of the sixth 
number of this work, which appeared in the Revue Zoologique, 
as already mentioned in the preceding article, M. Reiche suggests 
that Carenum perplexum, on account of the square base of the 
elytra with the humeral angle saillanl , may be presumed to possess 
wings, and thus generically to differ from the others, whilst 
C. megacephalum and tinctilatum, on account of the form of the 
thorax, should probably be retained as a distinct genus, under 
Mr. Newman’s name Eutoma. 
The three large species of Scarites are considered by M. Reiche as 
forming (probably with the Sc. rotundipennis, Dej., which is stated 
to be a native of the Cape of Good Hope*'), a separate group, 
distinguished by the absence of wings, the dilatation of the abdo¬ 
men, and the cylindrical terminal joint of the palpi. 
Mr. Hope informs me that Mr. MacLeay has named this section in 
his manuscripts Scaraphites, and that he has discovered a new species 
on the east coast of New South Wales, at Elizabeth Bay, where it 
was found many feet deep in the earth, whilst trenching in sandy 
soil to form a Pinetum. I would suggest that it should be named 
in honour of its discoverer.

This species most resembles Sc. Lentous in its narrower form and 
distinctly striated elytra, but it differs from that species in several 
respects. The mandibles are obtusely dentated, each having one 
minute tooth below the apex, and a large compressed one in the 
middle. The two oval impressions on the head are radiato-striolated 
in front. The pronotum has a slender, but rather deep central 
impressed longitudinal line, as well as a distinct anterior transverse 
one, most decided at the sides ; and there is no impression on each 
side towards the anterior angles, nor are the posterior angles 
obliquely foveated, being, on the contrary, convex. The elytra are 
broadly obovate, being evidently narrowed towards the base. Each 
has six fine impressed punctate strife, beyond which is a row of seven 
larger submarginal punctures, three others of which are placed in an
