438 Mr. G. J. Arrow on the 



j^thriosia glohulicornis, Tleitt., and Gryjjtorrhopalum affine, 

 Reitt., biflexum, Reitt., terminale, Sharp, brevicorne, Sharp, 

 australicutn, Blackb., quornense, Blackb., and woodvillejise, 

 Blackb. A comparison of Blackburn^s types and a series of 

 other specimens has led me to the conclusion that Cn/ptor- 

 rhopalum eucalypti, Blackb., is only a rather pale specimea 

 of the last species, Orphinus looodvillensis. 

 A few new species are added here : — 



Orphinus cetkiops, sp. n. 



Niger, antennis pedibusque flavis, ubique parce punctatus et pallide 

 pubescens, punctis miuutis ; ovatus, jiariim couvexus, oculis 

 magnis, grosse grauulatis, anteiinarum articulo ultimo (maris) 

 magno, discoidali ; prouoto lato, brevi, lateraliter bene marginato, 

 postice valde et late lobato ; elytrorum apicibus minute rotuu- 

 datis. 



Long. 2-3 mm. 



Bab. Angola : Forest Country, 1000-2000 ft. alt. 

 {Dr. Welwitsch). MAURITIUS (/. E. M. Brotvn). 



There are two specimens in our collection from Angola and 

 a good series from Mauritius. Unless in one case they have 

 been accidentally introduced, the species must be supposed to 

 have a very wide distribution. 



It is uniformly black, with pale legs and antennae and a 

 thin and evenly distributed clothing of greyish hairs above 

 and beneath. The upper surface is rather shining, the 

 punctures being minute and scattered. Tlie eyes are large, 

 prominent, and coarsely facetted, and separated by a dis- 

 tance less than twice their diameter. The pronotum is 

 short, little narrowed in front, and sharply margined at 

 the sides, with a strong, broadly rounded, posterior lobe. 

 The last joint of the antenna of the male is flat, circular, 

 and very large. 



Orphinus japomcus, sp. n. 



Niger, sat nitidus, parce griseo-setosus, macula rufa utrinque obliqua 

 post humeros sita, antennis pedibusque Isete rufis ; ovatus, modice 

 convexus, capite pronotoque laevibus, parum setosis, hujus mar- 

 ginibus lateralibus prominentibus paulo explanatis, lobo postico 

 late rotundato, utrinque oblique impresso ; elytris crebre punc- 

 tatis, breviter aequaliter setosis. 



Long. 2*5 mm.
