with De Marseul's description of his R. ( Saiyrinus) since (from 

 China), under which name I have received it from Mr. Lea, 

 probably on the authority of Mr. Lewis. The following species 

 seem to be new 



H. piscariiis, sp. nov. Nitidus; nigricans, parum senescens, 



antennis pedibusque brunnescentibus ; fronts carinata, sulcis 



2 angulatis ; prothorace transverso, antice parum angustato, 



supra antice et latera versus in area lata (hac marginem 



fere attingenti) — postice angusta — sat fortiter minus crebre 



punctulato, stria marginali Integra ; elytris in partibus 



duabus posterioribus (lateribus exceptis) sat fortiter vIk 



crebre punctulatis, striis validis, 1 — 4 dorsalibus ad medium 



abbreviatis inter se sat sequalibus, 4^ ad basin arcuatim cum 



suturali Integra coeunti, subhumerali externa nulla interna 



sat late disjuncta, humerali postice bifida ; pygidio minus 



crebre punctulato ; prosterno antice spatuliformi, striis 



approximatis parallelis fere integris ; mesosterno marginato, 



laevi ; tibiis anticis extus 6-dentatis. Long., H — 1| 1.; 



lat., i—U\ 1. 



Resembling the species referred to above as B. since, Mars., but 



less brassy, of wider build, with the elytra more dilated behind 



the shoulders, the punctures about the sides of the pronotum 



larger and less close, as also those of the elytra and pygidium, 



the humeral stria of the elytra bifid behind. It is found under 



dead fish. 



Australia; near Adelaide. Also from Victoria (Frankston, 

 Mr. Kershaw). 



^S*. vernulus, sp. nov. Nitidus ; nigricans, obscure viridescens, 

 antennis pedibusque piceis ; fronte carinata, sulcis 2 angu- 

 latis ; prothorace transverso, antice parum angustato, supra 

 antice et latera versus in area lata (hac marginem fere 

 attingenti) — postice anguste — fortiter sat crebre punctulato, 

 stria marginali Integra ; elytris ab apice ultra medium 

 (lateribus exceptis) subfortiter sat crebre punctulatis, striis 

 validis 1 — 4 dorsalibus paullo ultra mediam abbreviatis inter 

 se sat sequalibus, 4'' ad basin arcuatim cum suturali Integra 

 coeunti, subhumerali externa profunda brevi basali interna 

 vix disjuncta (inter humeralem et marginem sulco brevi 

 profundo), humerali modica ; pygidio pequaliter crebre punc- 

 tulato ; prosterno striis approximatis parallelis fere integris 

 impresso ; mesosterno marginato, laevi ; tibiis anticis extus 

 6-dentatis. Long., 2 1. (vix) ; lat.. If-^ 1. 

 Its distinctly green colour in combination with elytra having 

 a very strong external subhumeral stria renders this species very 

 distinct from the other Australian Hypocacci before me. The
