After a careful examination of the type specimens of Myrmeco- 

 cephalus in the collection of the Australian Museum, which, however, 

 are not in a very good state of preservation, I have arrived at the 

 conclusion that M. cingulatus, and not M. bicingulatus, is identical 

 with Falagria Fauveli. 



2. Falagria bicingulata. 



Myrmecocephalus bicingulatus, Macleay, Trans. Ent. Soc. N.S.W. 

 p. 134(1871). 



Elongate, black, somewhat shining, sparingly covered with fine 

 grey pubescence, distinctly aciculate. Head broadly transverse, 

 strongly rounded behind. Antennae piceous. Prothorax cordate, 

 subopaque, much longer than broad, considerably narrower than 

 the head, the median line not very strongly impressed. Elytra 

 broader than the head, opaque fuscous, finely and sparingly pubescent. 

 Abdomen elongate, narrower in front than the elytra, widest behind 

 the middle ; the second and third segments margined with testa- 

 ceous. Legs dark piceous, the tarsi paler. Length 3f mm. 



Burnett River, Gayndah, Queensland; In flood-refuse. 



The unique specimen described under this name is not in suffi- 

 ciently good condition to permit of more exact diagnosis. Its 

 larger size, broader head and longer and more angularly rounded 

 prothorax are the only characters I find to separate it from the 

 preceding species. 



3. Falagria pallipes, sp. n. 



Elongate, dark reddish testaceous, somewhat shining, sparingly 

 covered with extremely fine grey pubescence and very finely 

 punctured. Head broadly transverse, convex, strongly rounded 

 behind, very finely and not very closely punctured. Antennae 

 pale reddish testaceous, longer than the head and prothorax 

 together, slightly thickened towards the extremity ; basal joint 

 moderately large, joints 2-3 a little shorter, 4-10 of nearly equal 

 lengths, subcylindrical, terminal joint slightly larger and acuminate 

 at the extremity. Prothorax considerably longer than broad, 

 cordate, at its broadest part slightly narrower than the head,
