I recently examined the type of 7'rinodes globosus referred 
by Macleay to the Dermestide ; it is certainly an Aspido- 
phorus. The original description is quite worthless and 
the specimen, when I examined it, was very greasy. There 
are two species before me, either of which may be globosus, 
but until they have been compared with the type, after 
this has been cleaned, it would be unsafe to describe one 
of them as new. 
SPECIES REFERRED IN ERROR TO THE 
BY RRHIDA. 
MIcROCHATES CosTATUS, Macl. 
Macleay states of this species that it “ought probably 
to constitute a new genus.” I recently examined the type 
and found that it belongs to the Histeridx and is Hpiechinus 
tasmani, Lewis.t The species therefore must now be 
known as Eprechinus costatus, Macl. 
LIMNICHUS FRONTALIS, Macl. 
This has already been referred to the genus Stictostix of 
the Histeridz by Lewis. 
* From above they appear to be on the extreme sides of the elytra, 
but these are incurved below them. 
T Of this species I have specimens named by Mr. Lewis.
