Eupines concolor, Sharp.

(Plate x . fig. --'0.) 



I have received a typical specimen from Dr. D. Sharp. 



The appearance of the antennae may be different, according to 

 the way of viewing them. The description of Dr. D. Sharp and 

 the Bgure I give are taken when the antenna is viewed from 

 above; when viewed from the side, the 10th joint is very oblique 

 on the under part, whilst the upper part is straight; the legs are 

 rather long and slender ; the general form of the body much 

 resembles pectoralis, the elytra being very large in comparison 

 with the head and prothorax. 



Dr. D. Sharp's type comes from Victoria: I have another 

 specimen from Gawler in which the 10th joint of the antennae is 

 slightly shorter. 



The following four species are very similar to concolor, and 

 differ nearly exclusively by the shape and size of the last two 

 joints of the antennae; it is quite possible that further discoveries 

 may prove that they are mere local or individual variations of 

 concolor. 



Eupines triangulata, n.sp. 



(Plate x., fig. 17.) 



E. concolor i simillima, differt articulis duobus ultimis anten- 

 arum majoribus, 10 supra viso eurvilineatim triangulari, latitu- 

 dine et longitudine subaequali cum margine superna medio 

 angulata et, lateraliter viso, margine superna medio valde 

 producta, ultimo brevissime ovato, basi truncato, apice subturbi- 

 nato; metasternum et abdomen sicut in concolore. Long. 1T0 mm. 



Tamworth, N.S.W. (Mr. A. M. Lea). 



This species differs simply from concolor by the last joints of 

 the antennae; the shape of the 10th joint is very different if it is 

 viewed from above or from the side; from above it resembles a 

 shield; from the side an irregular trapeze, the one angle of which
