LiPAROCHRUS. 
The species of this genus, as distinguished from Antio- 
chrits, are of very uniform facies, and much general resem- 
blance, inter se, but differing by very satisfactory structural 
characters. They are easily divided into well-marked groups, 
distinguished by the number of striae on the elytra and the 
external armature of the front tibi«. The species of only one 
group — that with numerous, closely placed elytra! striae — are, 
so far as I know, much subject to variety, and it is just pos- 
sible that in that group the forms which I regard as varieties. 
of one species may represent a considerable number of very 
closely allied species. Several species, which I refer to Dr. 
Sharp's genus ^i./tt/oc/iri(s:, have been attributed to Ltparo- 
chrus, and concerning that reference I propose offering some 
notes below, under the heading ''AnfiocJirus." Sixteen names 
have been proposed as names for species referred to Llparo- 
chrus, and one Liparochrus has been erroneously named as i 
member of the genus Ccdodes. Of the above-mentioned 
seventeen names, however, all except (at most) eight, I believe 
to be synonyms, or not to represent true Lij)arochri, and of 
the eight one name is of doubtful validity. It will be \/3ll 
to enumerate this synonymy before I pass on to furnish a 
tabular statement of the distinctive characters of the named 
Liparochri of Australia, and to describe two new species; 
which are before me. 
L. rrenatulus, Fairm., pirnelioides, Lansb., and glnhuli- 
forjui.<, MacL, I believe to be synonyms of nndtistriatus, Har., 
for reasons set forth below, under the name midtistriatus. 
L. I calodes) h'nnacidatus, MacL, is said by Harold to be 
L. fossvJafifs, Westw. This is probably correct. I have seen 
the type si^ecimen, and it is certainly a Liparorhnis. My 
note, when I examined it, is, ''Liparochrun, probably (from 
memory) fosnulatus, but there is not a specimen of the latter 
at hand for comparison." 
L. raurus, Fairm., is evidently, I think, judged by the- 
description, a synonym of the earlier name, sdpl/o/des, Har.
