126 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



Coripera Morleyana Cart., seems to be only a variety of C. 

 Mastersii Macl., differing only in its possession of a light-coloured 

 band round the elytra. The wide distribution is here worthy of 

 note, C. Morleyana being taken on Mount Irvine (Blue Mountains), 

 while C. Mastersii is from Gayndah. The varietal names should 

 be preserved. 



Chariotheca cupripennis Pasc, not hitherto recorded from 

 Australia. I have t\vo specimens from Cairns, which are identical 

 with Pascoe's type from New Guinea. 



Adelium forticorne Gebien (Fauna Siid-west Aust. Hamburg, 

 1908, p.343). — There is little doubt but that this is synonymous 

 were A. vicarium Pasc , the originals of which, taken at Albany, 

 with sent by Mr. Masters to Pascoe. I have cotypes of these 

 which were also compared with Pascoe's type. Pascoe pointed 

 out the subclaviform antennae, also its similarity to A. succisum 

 Pasc, (a synonym of A. angulicoUe Castel., to which, Gebien says 

 that his species is extremely similar). The only difference 

 remarked by Herr Gebien between his species and A. vic<triiim, 

 is the more strongly punctured head and prothorax; differences 

 which may well be accounted for by the strong variations to be 

 found in this character throughout the genus, and which may 

 well be consistent with Pascoe's very meagre description. 



CERAMBYCID^. 



The following six species of longicorns were identified by me in 

 the British Museum. This is, I believe, the first record of them 

 from Australia. They were all taken by Mr. H. Hacker in the 

 Coen District, Cape York. 



Aconista alphoides Pasc. 



Gnoma affinis Guer., Voy. Coquille, 1830, p. 136, pl.vii., fig. 10,

M. longiconiis Thoms., N. Guinea.
