ably more slender tarsi, however, furnish very satisfactory 

 distinctions. 



Central Australia (Farina, at light). 



TAROMORPHA. 



Mr. Sloane (loc. cit.) includes this amon^ the genera unknown 

 to him, which consequently he cannot place in his tabulation o 

 Lehiini. Its place in his tabulation is beside Coptoglossus from 

 which it differs by its mentum devoid of a median tooth. 



SILPHOMORPIIA. 



S. rufoguttata^ Black b. This species — described by me Tr. 

 R. Soc, S.A., 1893, p. 295 — ^was wrongly referred to 

 SilphomorpJia, being a member of the allied genus Adelofopus. 

 I carelessly overlooked the fact that its eyes are margined 

 externally. It must be very like A. himaculatus, MacL, and may 

 be identical with it. The diagnosis of that insect is too brief 

 (consisting of nine words) for confident identification but such 

 as it is it fits my specimen. The diagnosis however is followed 

 by the additional (the only additional) information, "This 

 species is narrower than the last" (A. apicalis). My insect is 

 much less narrow than that which I have regarded as being 

 A. apicalis, MacL, and in fact is wider than any other Adelotopus 

 known to me — which, no doubt, was the cause of my calling it 

 a Silphomorplia without sufficient study of its characters. It is 

 uncertain therefore whether the name rufoguttata can stand as 

 representing a species distinct from himaculata, Macl. 



CLIVINA. 



G. eyrensis, Blackb. I suspect this species of being identical 

 with G denticolliS) Sloane. When (at the time I described it) 

 I compared it with Mr. Sloane's descriptions and referred it to 

 his " ohliqitata group," I held it to be a member of the section of 

 that group in which the elytral striae are not "simple," and so 

 did not consider the question of its being denticollis which forms 

 the other section In revising the nomenclature of my Glivincs 

 I have noticed the satisfactory agreement of this species with the 

 description of denticollis in all respects except the puncturation 

 of its elytral striae, and observing that those impressions are 

 certainly only very feehly punctured and bearing in mind that 

 the distinctness of puncturation is not a very reliable character 

 in the Scaritides, I deem it probable that the name eyrensis, 

 Blackb., must become a synonym of denticollis, Sloane. 



HARPALUS. 



H.promtus, Er. I have already (Pr. L.S., N.S.W., 1890, p. 

 557) noted the occurrence of an insect agreeing well with the 

 description of H. promtus in South Australia. It agrees so welj
