 Lists of Genera and Speecis, some Notes on Synonymy, 



By Thomas G. Sloane. 



Tribe PANAGEINI. 



Baron de Chaudoir monographed the Panageini of the globe 

 in 1878,* his essay including a table of the genera, which shows 

 three as Australian. These genera may, from Chaudoir's table, 

 be arranged thus : — 



Paraglossffi extending beyond the ligula and prolonged in a 

 more or less narrow and long lobe. 



Tooth of mentum broad and truncate Epicosmus. 



Tooth of mentum narrow, rather elongate. (Mandibles 



long and prominent, elytral spots blood red) Tinognathus. 



Paraglosste not extending past the ligula, and only appended 

 to its lateral margins. (Labium emarginate, the two 

 piliferous punctures tjf the middle very near the anterior 

 margin) THchisia. 



Genus Epicosmus. 



In my study of this genus I have had to make out Castelnau 

 and Chaudoir's species from the descriptions; it is, therefore, 

 necessary for me to support my references to species of these 

 authors by descriptive notes on the species to which I apply 

 names given by them. This is more necessary because I find that 

 I cannot follow Chaudoir in his treatment of Castelnau's species.
