Coleoptera, Part L 127 



Hab. — Tasmania : Hobart. 



A comparatively large species, in appearance somewhat like 

 hilineatus, but larger, less shining, the prothorax less transverse 

 and without discal impressions, and the punctures of both pro- 

 thorax and elytra smaller and different in character. 



Trogophlaeus pinictatus^ Fvl. 



I have typical specimens of this species from New South 

 Wales and Tasmania. Some specimens from West Australia 

 differ to a slight extent in having a more distinct median eleva- 

 tion on the prothorax and on each side of the elevation a dis- 

 tinct but slightly interrupted longitudinal impression ; in 

 typical specimens each of these impressions appears almost as

A specimen from Windsor (N.S.W.) dift'ers in having the 

 elytra of a rather bright red ; it is probably immature. 



T. adelaidae, Blackb. 



Hab. — S. Australia. 



T. exigiais, Er. 

 Hab—T., N.S.W. 



T. bili?ieatus, Steph. 



Uab. — W^.A. : Vasse, Beverley, Swan River. 



T. simplex, Motsch. 

 Bab.—q., N.S.W., W.A. 



Cucujidae. 



Dkyocora.

 that Dryocora and Bessaj^hilus are synonymous. D. nalkeri, 

 Lea, seems close to B. cephalotes, Waterh., but differs from the 

 description of that species in being without the least stains of 

 piceous (except occasionally at the apex of the prothorax) ; the 

 punctures of the upper surface, though small, are certainly not
