meister may not have counted the apical projection of the 
tibiae as an external tooth, for in the case of other species he 
always does so count the apical projection. 
L. rugosus, Macl. The presumable type of this species 
is in the Macleay Museum, pinned into the label "rugosus, 
S. Australia." It is a female of the species mentioned above 
as labelled in the same collection, "nigr'inus, Germ." If it 
should prove eventually that there is another species (not 
known to me) which is the true nigrinus, the species I believe 
to be nigrinus would, of course, have to bear the name 
rugosus. 
FIFTEENTH GROUP (aA, B, C, D, EE, OF TABULATION). 
Although this group is distinguished from the preced- 
ing one by an apparently slight character (the elytra glabrous 
or nearly so), its species differ very much in facies from all 
01 the fourteenth group, except sylvicola, Burm. (Fab. ?), to 
which latter they bear more resemblance of a general kind. 
L. ferrugineus, Blanch. This is one of the most abundant 
and widely distributed Liimretri. It is remarkable for the 
pronotum of its male being entirely pilose, while that of the 
female has only an apical (and, of course, a lateral) fringe 
of hairs. Blanchard described a female ; Macleay's redes- 
cription is a mixture of the two sexes. Both authors over- 
looked the fringe of hairs on the front of the clypeus in the 
female. I have examined tlie specimens in the Macleay Mu- 
seum on which Macleay's redescription was doubtless founded. 
L. uhiquitosvs, Macl. It is strange that this common 
New South Wales Lipdietru^ should have remained undes- 
cribed until Macleay published his monograph. Neverthe- 
less, it certainly seems to have been unknown to the earlier 
authors. Macleay is in error in attributing nine- jointed an- 
tennae to it. It is rather near to ferrugineus, Blanch., but 
easily distinguished by the very different sculpture of the cly- 
peus in the male, the much more pilose pronotum of the 
female, the different colouring, etc. I have examined the 
presumable type in the Macleay Museum. 
L, hrunnei'pennis, Blackb. This name is a synonym of 
uhiquifosus, Macl. At the time when I described the insect 
I accepted Macleay's statement that his species has nine- 
jointed antennae. 
L. ?'ubicu7idu8, Macl. Two (presumably including the 
type) are pinned into the label "ruhicundux'' in the Mac- 
leay Museum. Their antennae have only eight joints, thous^h 
Macleay calls them nine-jointed. 
L. propinqifus^ Macl. Two specimens (including the 
presumable type) are pinned into the label "proj)inquus" in
