200 Mr. Francis P. Pascoe on 



I do not see liow the Australian s]:)ecies of Iphipus are 

 to be distinguished from Tranes. The Brazilian repre- 

 sentative of the former is, as has been pointed out by M. 

 Lacoi'daire, differentiated by the eyes not being con- 

 tiguous beneath. I refer, therefore, Tphijms Boei, Boh., 

 to Tranes, and from this, the present species differs, inter 

 alia, in its much more strongly punctured prothorax, 

 and the corrugate interstices of the elytra.

 prgemedianae, laterales. OcuU mediocres, ovales. Scajms

The cavernous corbels of the posterior tibife place this 

 genus in the Amaladince ; in habit, however, it agrees 

 better with the Erirhinince.
