94 ON THE SCYDMiENIDES OF X. 8. WALES, 



In otliei- particalars this genus greatly resembles the preceding. 

 The labial palpi are distant at the base from each other. I have 

 found but a single species, and indeed but a single specimen, 

 which I have named. 



PSEPHAROBIUS ElONGATUS. 



Capite setoso postice promiuente, colic elongato, antennarum 

 clava 4-articulata ; thorace elongato angulis posticis acutis, 

 transverse et obsolete fossulato.

ScTDM^NDS. Latr. 



The species which I have hitherto met with belonging to this 

 genus, so largely represented in the Northern Hemisphere, are 

 only four in number. They .all belong to the 4th race of M. 

 Schaum. With the exception of S. corticis, they were all found 

 under wood and stones in grass. It is very probable that many 

 other specimens will yet be detected. 



SCTDMiENUS GULOSDS. 



Capite nigro postice angulato ; antennarum clava 4-articulata, 

 articulis 8-10 globosis subcequalibus, 11""° vix longioi'i globoso 

 — acumiuato ; thorace piceo antice contracto, 2''"* foveis ad 

 basin notato ; elytris castaneis, ad basin piceis ; tibiis 

 anticis clavatis.

Paramatta, Sydney, Camden. 



This species is not uncommon under stones and wood in grass, 

 especially in the spring and autumn months of a dewy morning. 

 It is a very voracious species, being often found with an acarus 

 in its mandibles, and not easily persuaded to relinquish its prey. 



The extremity of the fore tibiae is much enlarged and covered 

 with stiff bristles. 



ScydmjEnus corticis. 



Piceo-castaueus, antennarum clava 4-articulata articulis suh- 

 globosis ; thorace ante medium latiori, antice rotundato pos-
