maxillary palpi are securiform; in A. Westuoodi Pasc, they 

 are flistinctly oval, thou<fh Pascoe says " shortly triangular " 

 (Journ. of Ent. 1863, p. 43). A. insuhwix Lea, from King 

 Island, Tasmania, is, I consider, a species distinct from A . 

 ]l'esf iroof/i Pasc, from which it differs in the following par- 

 ticulars; epistomal lobe vertical, (in A. M'esfwoodi horizontal, 

 rcflexed only at angles), antennge much wider and coarser, 

 elytral intervals on disc quite flat, slightly convex on sides, 

 (in .4. W estiroodi, all convex), prosternum coarsely trans- 

 versely wrinkled and punctate (in .4. W estiroodi punctate 

 only), size much larger, 21 x 8 mm., (the largest .4. West- 

 woodi I have, is 18 x 6-5 mm). 



Brachycilibe (nov. gen. Ulominarum). 

 Facies not unlike that of PlatyrUihe, in proportion of 

 length to breadth, but much more convex. Mandibles denti- 

 culate at apex, jxdjn as in PlatycUihe, mentiim nari'owly 

 trapezoidal, narrowed in front; anteiutfh with first joint not 

 geniciilate, 2-3 cupuliform and slightly thicker than succeed 

 ing, 4-8 moniliform, ninth a little transverse, tenth widely 

 transverse and cup-shaped, eleventh largest and spherical ; 

 front and intermediate tibiae minutely spined on external 

 margin, and bispinose at apex, those on anterior tibiae large 

 and toothlike. Other characters as in Acthosiis Pasc. 



Brachycilibe antennata, n.sp. 



Short, broad, very convex and subparallel, brownish-black, 

 nitid ; antennae, palpi, legs, and underside reddish. Head 

 wide, immersed in thorax to eyes, these prominent and 

 round ; epistonia truncate in front, with sides sharply 

 rounded, strongly concave above, without limiting suture ; 

 head and thorax rather coarsely and not very closely punc- 

 tate. Vrotliorar (1-8 x 2-5 mm.) very convex, arcuate at 

 apex, truncate at base, anterior angles obtuse not produced, 

 scarcely visible from above through great convexity, sides 

 evenly rounded, posterior angles obtuse, sides more narrowly 

 margined than in I'httyriJihc, base and apex just perceptibly
