146 NOTES OX AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTEftA, 



brionidse through Olliff's note, "Ipsaphes nitidnlus of Macleay 

 appears to be allied to the heteroraerous genus Sitophayus" 

 (These Proc, Vol. x., Part 2, p. 7). The genus Sitophagus is only 

 represented in Australia by the ubiquitous *S'. ho/uleptoides Cast., 

 of which I have specimens taken in Sydney. 



Ulomoides humeralis Blackb., Hypophlceus australis Champ. — 

 Of these two T possess cotypes, kindly presented by the authors. 



Campanotus fimbricollis Lea. — This insect was placed with 

 some doubt amongst the Ulomince ; but I consider that the 

 foliate prothorax, and carinate prostermim, inter alia, point 

 rather to a position under Gyphaleince, near Barytipha and 

 J/ithippia) it has, therefore, been omitted from my Table. 



Platydema spicata 011iff=P. striata Montr. — Amongst the 

 many things taken by Mr. Lea at Lord Howe Island, occurs the 

 above, which is however, identical with P. striata Montr. = P. 

 kanalense Perroud = P. oritica Pasc, a much named insect, 

 recorded also from New Caledonia. 



It may be of use to note here the synonymy pointed out by 

 .Mr. K. G. Blair (Ann. and Mag. Nat, Hist., Ser. 8,, xiii., 1914). 



Acthosus xaih/uiuipes ¥., (Tenebrio) — laticomis Pasc, and 

 must now appear as Uloma sanguinipes P. 



Alphitobius Icevigatus ¥., (Opatrum) = piceus 01., = Microphyes 

 rujipes Macl. 



Uloma (Acthosus) minuta Cart. — On a re-examination of this 

 species with a Zeiss binocular — not available when I described 

 the species in 1906 — T rind characters inconsistent with its 

 inclusion in Uloma; while the antenna: were incorrectly described 

 as having the final four joints enlarged. I now propose the 

 name Micndoma for the reception of this insect, a genus having 

 the following distinctions from Uloma. 



M i o k u l o m a, n.g. Ulominarum. 



Anteunie with apical joint greatly enlarged and ovate; the 

 10th only slightly wider than preceding joints and forming a 

 cup for the reception of the one-jointed club; other joints small 

 and closely fitting. All coxae widely separated : prosternum 

 between fore-coxa: almost Hat; intercoxal parts between mid- and
