478 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
calcaratz ; tarsi lineares, art. ult. ceteris fere eequali. Prosternum 
postice productum, in incisura mesosterni receptum. Metasternum 
breve. Corpus leve, ovatum, convexum. 
The form of the antenne requires this genus to be placed in M. 
Lacordaire’s third “ group” of Helopine, with Misolampus, Zophius, 
and others, to none of which does it bear any decided affinity. In 
habit it approaches some of the more convex forms of Helops. The 
internal maxillary lobe has a very distinct hook, a character which 
occurs only in this subfamily in Amphidora and Enoplopus; in the 
latter the profemora are also toothed. 1 owe my specimens to Mr. 
Adams, but I am unable to say from part of the coast they were 
derived.

Hab. New South Wales? 
Opake, black ; head with a stirrup-shaped impression in front; pro- 
thorax very deeply emarginate at the apex, each side with a broad re- 
flexed foliaceous margin; elytra nearly perfectly flat above, the margins 
on each side slightly reflexed, the shoulders produced but rounded, the 
disk punctate-striate, the strie more or less united anteriorly and pos- 
teriorly, and here and there single striz within the double striae, epi- 
pleure very broad and smooth; abdomen and legs glossy black. Length

Atryphodes egerius. (Pl. XIX. fig. 4.) 
A, niger, opacus; prothorace antice foliaceo, postice constricto, angulis
