528 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



The punctures in the intercostal series on the elytra are fairly 

 well denned and are of the usual form (i.e., somewhat quadrate 

 enclosures bounded by fine carina?) but they are distinctly biseriate 

 in arrangement only at the extreme base where the two rows of 

 each pair are separated from each other by a distinct elevated 

 line. The costa next the suture is feebler than the others except 

 near the base. Near M. marginatus, Er., but differing in 

 prothorax being red at the sides, and (if I have correctly identified 

 M. marginatus) by the much longer branches of the antennae in 

 the male, the intercostal sculpture of elytra not distinctly biseriate, 

 elytral suture orange-coloured, &c.

Calochromus. 



In a monograph of this genus by Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse (Cist. 

 Ent. ii., pp. 195, &c.) the main division of the genus is founded on 

 the structure of the maxillary palpi, but I find this to be sexual, 

 the females having palpi of the form attributed to Mr. Water- 

 house's first section, the males of the form attributed to the second 



section. 



Telephorus victoriensis, sp.nov. 



Niger, mandibulis prothoraceque testaceis, antennarum basi 

 pedibus anticis et geniculis omnibus plus minusve rufescen- 

 tibus ; capite prothoraceque sparsim obscure punctulatis ; hoc 

 quam longiori dimidio (antice quam postice vix perspicue) 

 latiori, lateribus leviter arcuatis ; elytris fortiter sat crebre 

 punctulatis ; antennis robustis. 

 Maris antennis quam corpus paullo brevioribus; segmento 



ventrali sexto apice profunde arcuatim emarginato. 



Femina latet. [Long. 2§, lat. % line. 



Resembles T. pusio, Geinm., and T. pauxillus, Blackb., in facies 



and colouring, but at once distinguishable from both inter alia by 



its extremely stout antennae, and the very coarse puncturation of 



its elytra.
