*J^0 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA. 



The entirely uniform black colour of this species distinguishes 

 it at once from all its described Australian congeners. 

 Victoria ; Alpine district. 



LOXGICORXES. 



MoNOHAMMUS Frenchi, Blackb. 



Mr. French has recently presented me with an example of 

 jJonohammus from the McDonnell Ranges which is evidently the 

 male of this species. It is considerably smaller than its female 

 (long. 8 lines) and bears considerable resemblance to M. ovinuSj 

 Pasc, but differs from it by its elytra less narrowed from the base 

 hindward and truncate at their apex, and by its antennae having 

 their basal ioints scarcely dilated.
