A new entomological magazine has made its appearance, 

 "Insecutor InscitijE Menstruus. " The editor and publisher is 

 Harrison C. Dyar of Washington, D. C. The object of this 

 publication is "to dispel to some degree our general ignorance 

 of the forms of insect life by descriptions of species and genera, 

 life-histories, and other pertinent facts." The January and 

 P"'ebruary numbers have so far been published. They include 

 short systematic articles, chiefly by Dyar and Frederick Kalb.

ON A NEW TERMITOPHILOUS GENUS OF THE FAMILY 



HISTEEID^ 



ERIC INJOEBURG 



Ent. Tidsk. Haeft. 1-2, 1912. 



This is the first termitophilous beetle from Australia. 



The body is short, broad, and shining. The head is not 

 visible from above. The border of the fossa of the antena is 

 visible from above and carries a distinct pencil of yellow hairs. 

 The elytra are of a very peculiar shape, the humeral corner is 

 strongly produced into a horn which carries at the top a long 

 pencil of hairs. The lieetle was found in a colony of the termite 

 Eutermes. The animal was surrounded by workers and sol- 

 diers. Apparently the hairs in pencils are hollow and secrete a 

 semi-fluid substance. The termites gathered about these, suck- 

 ing or eating the secretion. 



There are three line cuts and one fine plate.
