The above species was sent to me by Captain Roe from the vici- 

 nity of the Swan River settlement. There were also other species 

 allied to the present, but they arrived in too mutilated a state to 

 describe. 



CONICOLLES. 



Scolecobrotus Westivoodii. This species was described at p. 109 

 in the first volume of the Zoological Transactions, and is admirably 

 figured at Plate XV. w. 5. It is remarkable for the joints of the 

 antennae, all excepting the first three appearing as if they were eaten 

 by worms. I have lately obtained from Mr. Fortnum the other sex 

 of this singular insect, and now briefly describe it. The antennae 

 are of a light coral-red colour, which may partly be occasioned by 

 abrasion. The joints of the antennae do not appear serrated as in 

 the former sex, excepting under a high magnifying power, and even 

 then it is scarcely perceptible. The spines at the apex of the elytra 

 are wider apart than in the specimen previously described ; in other 

 respects the insects accord almost entirely. I have reason to think 

 that both the above specimens are from the Swan River settlement, 

 and am not aware that any others are to be found in our metropoli- 

 tan, or even in the French collections. 



Ur acanthus, Hope. For the description of this genus, vide the de- 

 tails published at page 108 of the ' Zoological Transactions,' where 

 only one species was described ; two more are now added. 



Uracanthus fallens. Uracan. qffinis prcecedenti at multo minor, 

 C ervino-brunneus thorace conico et albo-lineato ; elytris palli- 

 dioribus apicibus bidentatis. 

 Caput f route forte canaliculata pubescenti-albida tectum. Tho- 

 rax alba linea utrinque notatus^ binisque tuberculis ad latera sub- 

 armatus, rugisque transversis constrictus. Elytra cervino-brunnea ^ 

 sericea, triangulis in singulo colore saiuratiore inquinatis. Cor- 

 pus infra brunneo-sericeum^femoribusparumcompressis. 

 Long. lin. 10 ; lat. lin. 2. 



I had originally given the name of sericeus to this species, which, 

 as it seems common to all that are now known, I change it at pre- 

 sent to pallens. It was received from Van Diemen's Land in 1839. 



Uracanthus marginellus. Uracan. fusco-brunneus thorace albo- 

 lineato, elytrisque brunneo marginatis. 



Totutn corpus supra tomentosum, capite porrecto et inter oculos 

 parum sub-canaliculato. Thorax rugis constrictus, tubercvlo 

 utrinque posito. Elytra albo-pubescentia margimbus brunneis 

 apicibus abrupte truncatis, spinis parum prominentibus. Corpua 

 infra concolor, femoribus compressis. 



Long. lin. 9 ; lat. lin. IJ. 



I received this insect from Captain Roe, of the Swan River. In 

 form it approaches a singular genus named Stephanops by Mr. Shuck-
