having the anteunal club scarcely longer than the cljpeus, the 

 horn on the head replaced by a transverse keel, the thorax 

 evenly convex, with scarcely any indication of a projection on 

 its anterior margin, the sides of the thorax more regularly 

 rounded, the pygidium more distinctly punctured with a less 

 corroded appearance, and the ventral segments considerably 

 longer. 



There are several specimens of this species in the South 

 Australian Museum, one of which is ticketed as having been 

 taken at Port Victor.

 The greatest width of the mentum is less than half its length, 

 its surface is concave. This genus appears to differ from 

 Teinogenys by having the mentum differently shaped, also by 

 its palpi (the description of Teinogenys implies that the palpi 

 in that genus do not differ from those of Corynovhyllus) , and 

 by the absence (in the male) of a tubercle from the head and 

 the presence of one on the front of the thorax. From Cavoniis 

 and Neocavonus it differs {inter alia) widely in the shape of 

 the mentum.

The clypeus is transverse, rounded in front, and with a 

 strongly turned up edge ; it is separated from the rest of the 

 head (which is flattened or a little concave) by a strong trans- 

 verse keel. The prothorax is nearly twice as wide as down 

 the middle it is long, and the base (which is bisinuate) is not 

 much less than twice as wide as the front margin ; this latter 

 also is bisinuate, and bears in the middle a short sharp horn 

 the height of which on its front (or more perpendicular) face 

 is about equal to one- third the length of the clypeus ; the 

 frontal impression is shallow, ill- defined, and variable in size, 

 its surface being punctured as the rest of the thorax ; the sides 

 are somewhat evenly curved ; the front angles are prominent 

 but not acute, the hind angles nearly rounded off. A bunch 

 of long hairs projects over the scutellum and a fringe of 

 similar hairs reaches out backward from the base of the
