FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW GENERA AND 
SPECIES. 
By tHe Rev. T. Buacksurn, B.A. 
XV: 
CARABIDZ. 
TACHYS. 
T. brightensis, Blackb. This name appears to represent the 
same species as Lembidiwm striolatwm, Macl.; though the con- 
clusion could not be arrived at from Sir W. Macleay’s description, 
I think there is no doubt of its being correct, as Mr. T. G. Sloane 
has recently sent me some examples of SB. striolatwm (named by 
comparison with the type), which are undoubtedly my 7. bright- 
ensis. The insect certainly cannot be placed in Bembidiwm , it 
seems structurally to be a Vachys (or very close thereto) although, 
as I have previously remarked, belonging to a group of Aus- 
tralian species, that perhaps might with propriety receive a dis- 
tinctive generic name. 
SILPHIDi. 
CHOLEVA. 
C. antipodum, Blackb. I have received from Mr. Simson 
an example of Choleva taken in Tasmania, which I think must 
be referred to this species, although it is a little more elongate, 
and parallel in form, and considerably darker in colour. I take 
this opportunity to improve my description of the mesosternal 
keel in this insect, which I said (Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., 1891, 
p. 87) “scarcely emerges forward from between the coxe ;” a 
more correct expression would have been “becomes very feeble 
in front of the coxe.” 
LAMELLICORNES. 
PALMERSTONIA. 
P. minor, sp. nov. (Fem.) Nitida; valde convexa; picea, supra 
glabra, clypeo levi; prothorace quam longiori dimidio 
latiori, grosse minus crebre punctulato ; elytri is vix manifeste 
A- costatis, obsolete seriatim punctulatis, stria suturali leviter 
impressa ; subtus (abdomine fere glabro excepto) longe minus 
dense hirsuta. Long., 8 1.; lat., 441.
