852 MISCELLANEA ENTOMOLOGICA, NO. II. 



above with silvery scales, beneath and the pygidium with part of 

 the propygidium moderately cinereo-viliose. Legs piceous, the 

 anterior tibise bidentate, 



Length, 3 lines. 



Rah.— Piper's Flats. 



This completes the species of Liparetrus in the Australian 

 Museum and in my own, with the exception of a few doubtful and 

 unpaired specimens. 



The following species previously described I have been unable 

 to identify :— L. hirsutus, Burm. ; L. curtulus, Burm. ; L. 

 glabratus, Bui in. ; L. glaber, Burm.; L. uniformis, Blanch.; L. 

 striatus, Blanch. ; and L. nigricollis, Hope. The first of these, L. 

 hirsutus, I cannot place at all. The description would answer 

 for any of the first sub-section, but it is also described as having 

 8-jointed antennae, which seems impossible in that group. 

 Li. curtulus is also said to have 8-jointed antenna?, and very short, 

 glabrous elytra; this may be L. ferrugineus, Blanch. ; L. glabratus, 

 and glaber, Burm., I cannot identify ; they are Swan River insects. 

 L. uniformis, Blanch, is not sufficiently described ; it may be my 

 L. luridipennis. L. striatus from Western Australia I cannot 

 recognize, and Mr. Hope's species L. nigricollis from Port Essington 

 I have never seen, and the description does not even enable me to 

 place it in any of my sub-sections.
