430 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



A second specimen is in the Macleay Museum, from Rope's 

 Creek. I did not examine. the palpi of the type, having com- 

 pared it with the Rope's Creek specimen, and intending t* 

 look at those of the latter very carefully. The latter specimen, 

 however, has one palpus entirely, and the other partly miss- 

 ing. It is impossible, therefore, to be sure as to its genus, 

 but it appears to belong to Tyromorphus. 



Faronus punctatus King (now Somatipion). 

 Somatipion glohuUfer Schfs, 

 There are two King George's Sound specimens in the Mac- 

 leay Museum, that agree well with the description and Raf- 

 fray's figure of Somatipion glohulifer; they also agree with 

 the type of Faronus punctatus. The remarkable median line 

 on the upper surface of the abdomen is quite as distinct on 

 King's type as on any other of the numerous specimens before 

 me, but no mention of it was made by King. 



Bryaxis ^quata King (now Eupines). 

 Eupinoda diver sicornis Raffr. 

 There are five female specimens standing under the name 

 of (pquata in the King Collection. In the Macleay Museum, 

 there is a specimen from Elizabeth Bay, labelled as the male 

 of B. (fquata, and the ninth joint of the antennje is as 

 described. This specimen agrees with others in my collection, 

 identified by Raffray as his Eupinoda diversicornis, and it 

 agrees well with his description and figure of the antennae. 

 In his recent monograph, the species is transferred to Eupines. 



Rytus emarginatus King. 

 On the card bearing the presumable types of this species, 

 there are four specimens. One is a male, and agrees with the 

 description ; in general appearance it is extremely close to 

 R. Kingi, but its cephalic structure is not quite the same, and 

 its punctures are finer. Two of the others are females of the 

 species, but the fourth specimen belongs to Batraxis Armi- 

 tagei.
