386 Mr. A. M. Lea's Notes on 



particulars of sculpture mentioned by Baly and in all its 

 colours (some of them very unusual) except the differences 

 noted, these sijecimens agree with the description, I have 

 not ventured to describe them as new. 



DiANDICHUS ANALIS, Chp. 



(Plate XXV, fig. 165.) 



I am confident that I know this species, although it has 

 never been formally described. The generic description, 

 however, is ample, and this with the brief notes at its foot 

 and the coloured figure have enabled rae to identify the 

 species on eight specimens from South Australia. The two 

 specimens known to Chapuis were females ; in addition to 

 the few colour details mentioned by him the following may 

 be noted : — The head is black except the parts in front of 

 antenna3 (in two females, however, the head except for 

 parts of the mandibles is entirely black just as in the 

 males), the antennce, scutellum, four hind-legs and front 

 tarsi are black, the front femora and tibiae are obscure 

 red in places stained with piceous. The abdominal fovea 

 is unusually large, occupying almost half the total width 

 and touching the third segment. The resemblance to some 

 small Malacoderms (e. g. Hypattcdus australis, Fairm., and 

 IT. dbclmninalis, Er.) is rather striking. 



The male differs in being smaller, with longer antennae, 

 the head (except for parts of the mandibles) and the pro- 

 thorax black, and with the parts of the abdomen that are 

 flavous in the female, dull piceous-red. 



Cyphodera chlamydiformis, Germ.

 Creek. 



SCHIZOSTERNUS COCCINEUS, Chp. 



(Plate XXIII, figs. 60, 61.) 



There are two specimens in the Macleay Museum from 

 Port Denison which I refer to this species. They are 

 marked as having been taken in cop.; the female agrees in 

 colour with the original description, but the male is with- 

 out the subapical spots. The male is smaller and narrower 

 than the female, with the antennae extending almost to 

 apex of elytra, those of the female being distinctly shorter. 

 Its head is densely and rather coarsely punctate, with the
