and femora red, such as is common willi s])('cimcns from Now South Wales and 

 Queensland; but occasionally the elytra ai-c jiurple. A specimen, from Am, has 

 purple elytra, but otherwise agrees with the ty])ical form. Many specimens from 

 New Guinea (St. Joseph's River and the Madang district) have the legs uniformly 

 black and the elytra violet. 



MYCELLA LINEELA Chp. 



The marking's of this species consist of a long })ale vitta on each elytron, 



conjoined or not to a small outer spot near the base, occasionally the latter being 



absent. 



PERIPTYCTUS RUSSULUS Blackb. 



This species occiu-s in Tasmania ( Wilmot, THverstone, Mole Creek, and 

 Hobart) and New South Wales (Forest Reefs), as well as in Victoria. 



var. BILINEATUS var. nov. 



Ten specimens, from Forest Reefs, differ irom the common form in having 

 a distinct infuscated line towards each side of the prothorax, instead of the discal 

 portion rather lightly infuscated, but as they were ol)tained with specimens of 

 the typical form, and arc structurally the same, I cannot regard them as repre- 

 senting more than a variety. 



Family CORYLOPHIDAE. 



APHANOCEPHALUS PUNCTULATUS Blackb. (formerly 



ELEOTHREPTUS). 



On the typical form of this species the prothorax, except that the sides are 

 pale, and elytra are of a very dark brown ; l)ut on some specimens those parts are 

 black or almost so; others have the whole upper-surface of a dingy broA\-n. It 

 was referred to the Endomychidae by Blackljurn, who proposed a new genus for 

 it, but Arrow, (*^) from examination of the type, referred it to Aphanocephahis 

 (Corylophidae). It occurs in Victoria (-Vlps, Geelong, and Forrest), as well as 

 in South Australia. 



APHANOCEPHALUS POROPTERUS sp. nov. 



Blackish, sides of prothorax and most of luider-surface obscurely paler, legs 

 still paler ; elytra with flavous markings. Moderately clothed with short, ashen 

 pubescence.
