286 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



This insect falls in my Section iii., Group V., of Heteronyx {vide 

 P.L.S.N.S.W. 1889, p. 1219), which is tabulated in P.L.S.N.S.W. 

 1889, pp. 141-145. In that tabulation it falls beside nigricans on 

 page 142, though the puncturation of its elytra is a little more 

 close than in that species, though markedly less so than in 

 mulwalensis and pu7ictipennis. From nigricans it may be at once 

 distinguished by the imperfect trilobed outline of its head, its 

 clypeus forming an even surface with the rest of the liead, &c. 

 Its nearest ally is consanguineus, Blackb., (P.L.S.N.S.W. 1891, 

 p. 490), from which it differs iiiter alia by the same characters 

 mentioned above as distinguishing it from nigricans.

COEYNOPHYLLUS METALLICOLA, sp.nOV. {^) 



Castaneus, capite prothoraceque rufescentibus, hoc (exempli 

 typici) nigro-cincto et utrinque macula picea ornato ; subtus 

 dense longe fulvo-hirsutus ; capite sat crebre (postice sparsim) 

 punctulato, ante oculos transversim carinato, carina media 

 breviter acute tuberculiformi ; prothorace quam longiori (et 

 postice quam antice) duplo latiori, sparsim subtiliter punctu- 

 lato, obsolete canaliculato, antice nee concavo nee tuberculato 

 sed pone marginem anticum fovea parva punctiformi im- 

 presso ; elytris leviter geminatim punctulato striatis, inter- 

 stitiis fere lisvibus ; antennarum flabello sat lato, intus in 

 medio subangulatim dilatato. [Long. 8, lat 4? lines. 



The absolutely simple front margin of the prothorax, which is 

 merely bisinuate without any trace of a tubercle will distinguish 

 this species from all its previously described congeners. 



N. S. Wales ; Broken Hill. 



Aneurystypus collaris, sp.nov. [^) 



Ferrugineus, antennis pallidioribus ; subtus dense longe fulvo- 

 hirsutus ; capite crebre rugulose (^clypeo vix rugulose) punc- 

 tulato, ante oculos obsolete carinato ; prothorace quam 

 longiori (et postice quam antice) paullo plus quam dimidio 

 latiori, subfortiter minus sparsim punctulato, late obsolete
