Since the above table was prepared I hfive eixamined the four species 

 described by the Rev. T. Bhickburn ;i they are all very sing^dar 

 insects. 



Stfrnnlix. — This species belongs to the <4roup whose other members 

 are rarho, f/raiMdata and p'<eudncepliahi. 



Comntd. — This species has highly polished prothorax, striated at 

 the sides, and elytra with fascicles of extraordinar}^ length arising 

 from the epaulettes. 



Pygidialis. — This species has the hind body margined with a con- 

 spicuous row of small teeth, and the prothorax with three acute 

 carinae, which, although not in contact with each other, divide the 

 disc, as it were, into three large areolets. 



I imequaUs. — The body parts of this species are somewhat like 

 those of lotif/ipes, but the epaulettes are of different shape and dif- 

 ferently clothed, the hind legs are considerably shorter, with their 

 til)iae compressed and intiated, and the club of antennae considerably 

 larger. 



('Ii/(i//i i/dii/fos fiihfrciihifa, n.sp. 



Dark reddish brown : margins of prothorax and all appendages 

 somewhat paler, abdonitn (l)asal two-thirds of first segment excepted) 

 still paler. rrotlioiax with a few stiff setae, py- and propygidium 

 with denser ami short tr setae, two g(»lden-ied fascicles within each 

 shoulder. 



Head somewhat rounded between antennae, feebly convex ; with 

 HUiall granules. Antennae when at rest cimipleted fitted into cavities; 

 first joint large and somewhat boomerang shaped ; last joint about 

 lialf the size of first, the intermediate joints small. I'rothora.r moder- 

 ately transverse, apex narrower than base, sides thickened and 

 strongly raised, base and apex narrower and less strongly raised ; 



1 He has also an apparently undcscribed species from Queensland.
