politus, Schfs., comes from Champion Bay, W.A. ; the type of 

 globvlifer, Schfs., comes from Melbourne, Vic; the type of ampli- 

 ventris, Schfs., from Sydney, N.S.W. Mr. Lea sent it to me from 

 Tamworth, N.S.W. ; he has found also a £ with a small ant, the 

 name of which is unknown to me. 



Genus Eupinopsis, Raffray. 



Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1896, pp. 257 and 261. 



Ovata, convexa. Abdomen brevissimum, anguste marginatum. 

 Elytra magna, stria dorsali brevi. Prothorax basi media uni- 

 foveatus. Mesosternum simplex. Coxis intermediis distantibus. 

 Palporum articulo ultimo fusiformi. 



This new genus is very closely allied to Eupines, from which it 

 differs by the abdomen being extremely short and declivous, while 

 the elytra are much longer and the presence of a prothoracic fovea 

 and dorsal stria on the elytra. In the two species which are 

 included in this genus the elytra are strongly punctured.
