222 A LIST OF THE CUCUJIDiE OF AUSTRALIA, 



This insect is sufficiently distinguished from C. triguttata, to 

 which it is closely allied, by its paler colour, slightly broader and 

 less parallel sided prothorax, and by the absence of black spots on 

 its elytra. The antennae and legs are entirely testaceous.

Gayndah, Queensland ; Lane Cove, Sydney, Wagga Wagga, 

 Gundagai, Mundarlo, Currajong, New South Wales. 



Allied to the European Silvanus unidentatus, Oliv., from which 

 it diifers in having the prothorax much longer and more sinuous at 

 the sides and in its darker and less shining upper surface ; the 

 anterior angles are also more prominent and the punctuation of the 

 head and prothorax somewhat less strong and close. 



The »S'. iowequalis, Grouv. (Ann. Mus. Genov., XVIII., p. 293, 

 pi. 7, fig. 25), appears to be closely allied to, if not identical, with 

 this species 



41. Silvanus surinamensis. (A.M.) 



Dermestes surinamensis, Linntous, Syst. Nat., I., pt. 2, p. 565,

 Silvanus surinamensis, Stephens, 111. Brit. Ent., III., p. 104, 

 (1830.) 

 Blackheath, Sydney, New South Wales ; South Australia. 

 A single example of this Silvanus, which is found in warehouses 

 and granaries all over the world, was captured by myself under 

 bark in the neighbourhood of Blackheath during April last. It 

 has already been recorded by Redtenbacher from Sydney.
