102 SUBFAMILIES CYPHALEINM AND CSODALONlN^, 



The genus Cholipus Pasc, originally placed with the Cnoda- 

 loninse, is now considered identical with Encyalesthus (Tenebri- 

 oninse). Tetraphyllus is apparently confined to Madagascar, the 

 two species under that name in Gemminger and Harold, and 

 Masters' Catalogue, are evidently wrongly placed, and are almost 

 certainly synonymous as follows. 



Hemicyclus grandis Westw. = Hemicyclus (Tetraphyllus) Reau- 

 muri Casteln. Espites basalis Pasc. = Espites (Tetraphyllus) 

 sumptuosus (I) Hope. Hope's type has apparently been lost, and 

 the description is very scanty, so that it would be desirable to 

 retain Pascoe's name. 



TiTiENA Erichs. 

 l(7)Pilose. 

 2(4)Colour variegated; size large, 15 mm. long. 



3. Prothorax more cylindric, punctures coarser columbina Erichs. 



4.Prothorax more explanate, punctures finer tyrrhena, n.sp. 



5(7)Colour blue, size smaller. 



6. Feebly pilose, rugose-punctate; 8-9 mm. long.... alcyonea Erichs. 



7. Strongly pilose, not at all rugose; 6 mm. long minor, n.sp. 



8(10)Glabrous. 



9. Size large, colour variegated varicolor Haag. 



lO.Size smaller, colour dark metallic (black with age).... tasmanica Champ. 



Thesilea Haag. 



Of this genus, two species are recorded from Australia. 



T. cuprina Fairm., from Wallis Island. I have identified two 

 specimens sent by Mr. F. Dodd, of Kuranda. 



7 '. planicollis Fairm. = T. oblonga Blanch., (Olisthama) = tyChar- 

 iotheca cupripennis Pasc. 



The former synonymy is contained in the Gemminger and 

 Harold's Catalogue; the latter is my own conclusion from the 

 descriptions and figure(Voy. P61e Sud, 1853). I have specimens 

 of C cupripennis Pasc, that I compared with the type, from 

 Kuranda. 



Chariotheca Pasc. 

 l(3)Form oval. 



2. Pronotum black amaroides Pasc. 



3. Pronotum blue Sesti Blackb. 



4(6)Foxm elongate and parallel.
