Genera and Species of Coleoptera. 463 
Narrowly oblong, reddish brown or dark brown, slightly shining ; 
head finely punctured; prothorax with very minute punctures, the 
emargination at the apex very shallow; elytra rather finely lineate- 
punctate, the alternate lines slightly elevated (about nine on each 
elytron) and garnished with small glossy pustular or bubble-like gra- 
nules placed at irregular intervals on those lines; body beneath dark 
chestnut-brown, or paler; legs also varying from reddish to brown, and 
shining. Length 8 lines. 
Apparently allied to Cilibe granulosus, De Br., from New Zealand ?, 
but essentially different in the very minute, almost obsolete punc- 
tation of the prothorax. It varies in colour, but the margins of 
the prothorax are paler than the disk. 
Helceus* consularis. 
H. obovatus, niger, nitidus, marginibus latis valde reflexis; prothorace in 
medio dentato-carinato, dente posteriore magno spiniformi; scutello 
carinato ; elytris impunctatis, marginibus exceptis, utroque costa cre- 
nata et linea tuberculata externa instructo. 
Hab. Western Australia. 
Obovate, glabrous, black, shining; prothorax with a toothed carina 
in the middle, the posterior tooth large, in the form of a compressed 
triangular spine; scutellum transversely triangular, keeled in the 
middle; elytra impunctate, the broad strongly reflexed margins faintly 
punctured, their edges terminated by an erect, narrow border, the raised 
suture having on each side at a short distance a sharp costa crenated on 
both sides, and externally near the angle formed by the reflected margin 
a line of small tubercles which do not, however, extend to the base; 
body beneath glabrous, black, shining; legs rugose. Length 11 lines. 
About the average shape and size of H. colossus, but with elytral 
coste as in H. Peron. The following is very nearly allied. 
Heleus moniliferus. 
H. ovatus, glaber, brunneus, nitidus, marginibus latis, explanatis; scutello 
semicirculari, haud carinato; elytris fere obsolete punctatis, ceteris ut 
in precedente. 
Hab. South Australia. 
Broader and paler than the last, the margins scarcely reflexed; the 
scutellum rounded posteriorly, or semicircular, without a keel; elytra 
with the lateral cost less crenated, and the exterior line of tubercles 
extending to the base, and the punctation, though minute, very evident 
under the lens. Length 11 lines,
