290 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN OOLEOPTERA, 



crenulatis vix arcuatis postice baud sinuatis, angulis posticis 

 rectis ; elytris basi subrectis, quain prothorax baud latioribus 

 plus quara duplo longioribus, sat depressis, vix striatis, 

 seriatim punctulatis, interstitiis alternis elevatis (3* antice 

 piano), angulis humeralibus subrectis ; sulcis tarsovum in 

 prosterno sat distincte, in metasterno obsolete, impressis. 



[Long. 3|, lat. 1| lines. 

 The elytra in places incline to a reddish tone, which is probably 

 variable. In Dr. Candeze's tabulation [Mem. Liege (2) iv.] this 

 species stands beside L. variabilis, Cand., and parallelus, Cand., 

 from the former of which it differs inte7' alia by the strong carina- 

 tion of the 5th and 7th interstices of its elytra, and its more convex 

 prothorax ; from L. parallelus, Cand., it differs inter alia by its 

 prothorax being transverse.

Glypheus alpinus, sp.nov. 



Elongatus ; parallelus ; nitidus ; sparsim villosus ; piceus vel 

 rufescens ; prothorace convexo baud canaliculato, sparsim 

 subtiliter punctulato, angulis posticis vix divaricatis acute 

 carinatis ; elytris leviter punctulato striatis. 



[Long. 3^, lat. 1 line (vix). 



At once distinguished from the previously described species by 



its elongate, slender and parallel form with the tarsi longer, their 



joints 2-4 less dilated. The tarsal characters might perhaps justify 



its being regarded as the type of a new genus. 



Victoria ; on the higher mountains of the Alpine range. 



Glyphochilus montanus, sp.nov. 



Sat angustus ; sat parallelus ; nitidus ; pubescens ; obscure 

 rufo-ferrugineus, elytris fuscis ; antennis palpis pedibusque 

 testaceis ; fronte convexa punctulata ; prothorace latitudine 

 (trans angulos posticos) longitudini sequali, hoc antice angus- 

 tato, subtilius minus crebre (latera versus magis crebre) 

 punctulato, angulis posticis breviter carinatis ; elytris minus 

 parallelis, punctulato-striatis, interstitiis leviter rugulosis.
