 Long., Ul.; lat., f 1. 

 The antennse are manifestly longer than the head and pro- 

 thorax together. They are a trifle shorter and stouter than 

 those of C. antipodnm^ Blackb. Joint 1 is evidently longer and 

 stouter than 2; 3 scarcely shorter than 1; 4 6 each a little 

 shorter than the one that precedes it ; 7 of same length as 6 but 

 evidently stouter; 8 small, its length and width abDut equal; 9 

 and 10 about as wide as 7 but slightly shorter; 11 evidently 

 longer than 10. The front tarsi are extremely strongly dilated 

 in the male, the intermediate not at all. In my tabulation of 

 the Australian Cholev(jB (Tr. R S., S.A., 1891, p. 89) this species 

 falls beside G. antijjodum, from which it differs inter alia by the 

 transverse sculpture of its elytra, 

 Victoria. 



C. victor iensis, Blackb. Since I described this species I have 

 met with it in Tasmania 



C. australis, Er. The Adelaide Choleva referred to in Tr. 

 U.S., S.A., 1891, p. 87, as probably this insect seems to have 

 been correctly named, as I have since taken the same species in 

 Tasmania (the original locality). 



COLOX. 



C. iiielbournense, Blackb. Since I described this species I have 

 taken a Colon in Tasmania which doe=i not seem to differ from 

 the type except in its uniform castaneous coloring. 



CHOLEVOMORPHA. 



Notwithstanding the general resemblance of this genus to, and 

 the really close agreement of most of its characters with, Choleva, 

 it nevertheless seems to me to be a very isolated form interme- 

 diate between the Silphides and the Anisotomides. In my diag- 

 nosis of the genus I called its tibiae "spinosge," and I think this 

 phrase capable of misapprehension. In using it I referred to a 

 row of fine erect spines which run down the external margin of 

 the tibise, rising from the pubsscence with which those organs are 

 clothed. In reality the tibiae are very much like those of a 

 Choleva and very different from that of an Anisotoma.
