184 Mr. Artlnir M. Lea's Revision of the 



black (as in the type), but in the others the next one is 

 also black. 



The antennae of the male are clothed with long blackish 

 hair and are exactly as I have described them in mcgcdops ; 

 the two species in fact are closely allied.

Balanophorus biplagiatus,* Fairm., Journ. Mus. 

 Godefifr., 1879, 110. 

 Apparently allied to scapidaius, but with the elytra 

 pallid, except for a transverse subapical infuscate spot 

 on each, 



Hab. Queensland : Peak Downs. 



Balanophorus megalops, Lea, P. L. S., N.S.W., 1901, 

 p. 483. 



The type of this species is in the Maoleay Museum ; it 

 differs from sca^ndcdus in having the greater portion of the 

 legs black ; the elytra with a bluish gloss, only one-fifth 

 of the base pallid (the marking cut across) and conjointly, 

 instead of separately, rounded at apex. The scutellum 

 also is pale. 



By an unfortunate error its prothorax was described as 

 "almost twice as wide as long," this should have been 

 " almost twice as long as wide." Its antennae were also 

 once referred to as " funicle."
