Among the nitid Li iKirorhn having geminate non-r>i'nc- 
tulate (or nearly so) elytra! strife, this species stands alone (un- 
less L. aspcruJii.^, Fairni., agrees with it) in having the part 
of its clypeua immediately in front of the eyes abruptly and 
horizontally dilated. This clypeal structure is found in some 
species oi other groups (e.g., niiilfi><friafuf^, Har.). Australia. 
I am not sure of the exact locality, but believe it to be in 
tropical Queensland.

A very distinct species, differing widely from all its con- 
geners in the sculpture of the lateral portions of its pronotum, 
whicli are perfectly smooth and very nitid (i.e., devoid of any 
punctures or strigosity), but bear a few very conspicuous seti- 
f erous granules.

Antiochrus. 
I have before me about a dozen specimens whicli I have 
no doubt are congeneric with A. hrunneus, Slip. The only 
difficulty I feel in thus referring them consists in the absence 
from Dr. Sharp's diagnosis and description of any mention of 
the peculiar sculpture of the marginal part of the elytra, 
which is present in all the specimens before me. They, how- 
ever, present all the characters attributed by Dr. Sharp tj 
Antiochrus, and moreover are evidently very close to Liparo-
