XLVI. Descriptions of various Coleopterous Insects from 
New Holland, collected chiefly by Mr. Fortrnum, at 
Adelaide. By the Rev. F. W. Hops, F.R.S., &e. 
{Read 2d February, 1846. ] 
In the second part of the fourth volume of the Entomological 
Transactions, published in 1845, I described several new species 
of Coleoptera, collected in Adelaide by Mr. Fortnum, That 
zealous individual has lately returned to England, and transferred 
to my hands his entire collection. Amongst the insects are many 
important additions, which will tend to illustrate the Entomolo- 
gical Fauna of that interesting country. Acquainted with the 
localities and habits of many of the species, he has kindly offered 
me the assistance of his note book. I intend therefore to present 
to the Society descriptions ef a series of new species of the dif- 
ferent groups, with Mr. Fortnum’s notes appended thereto, and I 
am happy to say that I shall have several of the species now 
described to add to the riches of our Entomological Cabinet.
