As Mr. Blackburn has tabulated the species described by him, 
T have not considered it necessary to include his species in the 
following table :-— 
First and second joints of funicle subequal in length ... alternata. 
First joint of funicle twice the length of second. 
Derm almost concealed beneath scales and setz ... squamibunda. 
Derm but slightly clothed. 
Prothorax and elytra black a a+ .. viridisquama. 
Prothorax and elytra reddish abe ae .. «vitiata. 
Prothorax black, elytra more or less red. 
Elytra scarcely wider than prothorax, body sub- 
cylindrical iii ee ie ... cylindriea. 
Elytra distinctly wider than prothorax, body sub- 
ovate. 
Abdomen black — “ep fas .. nigriventris. 
Abdomen more or less red. 
Prothoracic scales metallic, size very small ... clathrata. 
Prothoracic scales dull, size larger. 
Scape inserted nearer apex than base of 
rostrum ee < Be ... dissentanea. 
Scape nearer base than apex Pee ... fenestrata. 
STOREUS.* 
In describing this genus, Schénherr evidently regarded the 
dentition of the femora as of secondary importance, as, of the two 
species referred to it, variegatus has dentate, and signatus+ 
edentate, femora. Apparently, also, he was only acquainted 
with the male sex, as the rostrum is described as being the 
length of the head and prothorax combined, not, as it certainly 
is in the female of variegatus, considerably longer. 
No species have been referred to the genus since it was first 
characterised, but subsequently{ Mr. Pascoe proposed the genus 
Emplesis, to which he referred five species in all; to these Herr 
J. Faust has added one, and the Rev. T. Blackburn eleven 
species. Of these I know filirostris (Pascoe), monticola, munda, 
gravis, majuscula, and assimilis (Blackburn).

+ This species does not appear to be known to Australian entomologists. 
I have not been enabled to identify it from amongst the numerous species 
of Erirhinide in my possession, although I have repeatedly searched for it; 
the majority of the species, however, appear to me to be very local in dis- 
tribution. Judging by the description, it appears to be allied to Emplesis 
majuscula, or possibly #. monticola. In size it is stated to be a little larger 
than Hrirhinus pectoralis.
