whole surface, the set?e arranged in single rows along the middle 

 of each interstice; disc striate, lateral parts hardly striate; four 

 inner stria3 clearly but lightly impressed, fainter towards base 

 than towards apex, 1st and 3rd confluent at apex; submarginal 

 stria (8th) wanting; a few large punctures near margins; inter- 

 stices depressed, 2nd and 3rd wide towards apex, 3rd with two 

 setigerous punctures near 3rd stria on posterior third. Length 2, 

 breadth 0-7 mm. 



Bab.—Q. : Townsville (Dodd; Coll. Sloane). 



A strange and isolated species, apparently somewhat allied to 

 lUaphanns, but differing conspicuously by the presence of eyes. 

 I refer it to Tacl/ys provisionally, but it is so distinct from all 

 the other Australian species known to me that comparison with 

 any seems useless. At' a casual glance the elytra seem punctate- 

 striate; this is caused by the presence of the rows of setigerous 

 punctures; the stride are not punctate.* 



Tribe POGONINI. 



Group Perilep tides. 



Genus P y r r o t a c h y s. 



Pyrrotachys constricticeps, Sloane. 



P. constrictipes, SI., Proc. Linn. Soc. IST.S.W. 1896, xxi.,p, 375. 



By an unfortunate error I have published the name of this 

 species as F. constrictipes (a quite meaningless name) instead of 

 P. co7istricticeps (from the sudden constriction of the head behind 

 the eyes). I therefore suggest that the error — an obvious one — 

 be corrected. I would now note that P. coiistricticcps has the 

 inner lobe of the maxill?e with a few widely placed tooth-like 

 spines. 



The Rev. Thos. Blackburn has informed me that P. constricticej^s 

 is, from a specimen in his possession, closely allied to the Euro- 

 pean Perileptus areolatus^ Kreutz; and that it seems to him a 

 species of Perileptus, though owing to the imperfect condition of 

 his specimen he cannot absolutely say that it belongs to that genus.
