106 Rev. F. W. Hope’s Descriptions 
Fam. PSELAPHIDE. 
Articerus, Dalman. 
Sp. 17. Articerus Fortnumi. 
Sanguineus, capite elongato ovato, fronte rotundato. Thorax 
fere quadratus, angulis anticis rotundatis medio impressus. 
Elytra thorace latiora, marginibus posticis nigricantibus. 
Abdomen posticé rotundatum, utrinque macula nigra insig- 
nitum ; pedibus robustis et incrassatis. 
Long. lin. 3, lat. lin. 4. 
I believe this is the first time that 4riicerus has been taken in 
a recent state: the species described by Dalman was found either 
in resin or amber. I am inclined to consider it as belonging to the 
resins, and that it could not be found in amber. The above species 
is named in honour of our fellow Entomologist, Mr. Fortnum, 
now actively collecting for us at the Adelaide settlement. It was 
found in the nest of a species of ant which is unknown to us. 
Fam. TENEBRIONIDE. 
Triconorarsus,* Hope. 
Novum genus forma fere orbicularis. Calo affinis Escholtzi. 
Antenne 11-articulatee, extrorsum magnitudine increscentes, 
ternis ultimis majoribus, Caput clypeo integro, ultimo articulo 
palporum cylindrico, apice acuto preecedenti majori. Thorax 
anticé emarginatus, scutellum nullum. Llytra posticé acumi- 
nata. Jvbie antice trigonz, externéque dentate, reliquz 
simplices. 
Sp. 18. Zrigonotarsus Australis, Hope. 
Fuscus, antennis apice piceis, thorace piloso, elytrisque con- 
coloribus. Corpus infra squalidum et tomentosum; tibiis 
anticis rubris, antrorsum trigonis, externe dentatis, dente 
majori in medio posito. 
Long. lin. 23, lat. lin. 13. 
I have thought proper to make the above insect the type of a 
new genus; it approaches nearly to Celus of Escholtz. As it is 
my intention to figure it shortly, I pass on to other Heteromera of 
New Holland. 
* Tpiyovos, triancular—repoos, tarsus—Trigonotarsus.
