King George's Sound, W.A. 



I found in Dr. Schaufuss' collection four very different insects 

 under the same name of diversicolor. I consider as being the 

 true diversicolor the specimen which answers best to the descrip- 

 tion; the other one belongs to the genus Eupinoda, and has been 

 described under the name of Eupinoda amplipes, Raffr. 



E. diversicolor will be at once recognised by the peculiar shape 

 of the last joints of the antennae. 



Eu pines pumilio, Schaufuss. 



Nunq. Otios. iii. p. 504. 



This species resembles much E. picta, aurora and polita, but 

 the head is much more quadrate and bears a transverse impres- 

 sion on the forehead; the antenna? are thicker, with the 5th joint 

 cylindrical and twice as long as the preceding one, the 9th square, 

 10th a little, transverse; all along the body are long scattered 

 setae; the metasternum has a well marked sulcus which is deeper 

 close to the posterior coxa?; the 2nd ventral segment has a fine 

 longitudinal carinule extending beyond the middle.

 (Mr. A. M. Lea). 



T have seen only females of this species, and it is very likely 

 that in the male the 5th joint of the antenna 1 is much larger than 

 the others. 



Eupines spreta, Sharp. 



Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1874, iv. p. 501. 



In this species the antennae are more slender than in pumilio, 

 and the frontal sulcus on the head is wanting. 



The type which I received from Dr. D. Sharp is a £; there is 

 quite on the posterior edge of the metasternum a small fovea and
