APPENDIX. 



The following two species have come under my notice while- 

 the preceding pages were going through the press, 



CUCUJID^. 



L^MOPHLCEUS. 



L. Victories, sp. nov. Mas. Elongatus ; sat angustus ; sat 

 parallelus ; nitidus ; subpubescens ; rufo-ferrugineus, elytris- 

 ante apicem transversim infuscatis ; capite quam prothorax 

 vix angustiori, sat convexo, vix insequali, subtiliter crebrius- 

 punctulato, clypeo antice leviter subrotundato ; anteonis 

 quam corpus haud brevioribus, articulis 9'' — 11° quam ceteri 

 sat longioribus (inter se sat sequalibus, quam latioribus 

 multo longioribus); prcthorace quam longiori paullo latiori, 

 postice vix angustato, supra crebre minus subtiliter punc- 

 tulato, utrinque unistriato, lateribus parum arcuatis, angulis 

 anticis (superne visis) vix bene definitis nullo modo extror- 

 sum directis posticis sat acute rectis ; elytris (certo 

 adspectu) striis dorsalibus 3 (ut L. ferruginei, Steph.) im- 

 pressis, latera versus tenuiter carinatis, interstitiis punc- 

 tulatis. 

 Feminae capite angustiori, antennis quam corpus paullo brevi- 

 oribus. Long., 1 1.; lat , ^ l.j 



In the' tabulation of LcEmophhdis (above) this species falls- 

 beside L. Lindt, Blackb., from which it differs inter alia in its 

 antennae — those of the male being fully as long as the body, and 

 those of the female quite three-quarters of the length of the body. 

 As it is just possible that I have not seen the male of Lindi it 

 should be noted that the antennae of the female of this species 

 are much longer than those of the female of Lindi, with the 

 apical three joints very much more elongate. The front angles 

 of the prothorax are slightly more defined than those of L. Lindi 

 (and L. JfTTiigineus, Steph ). The following species of those not 

 known to me may possibly have front angles of prothorax not 

 unlike those of the present species ; therefore I note that in that 

 case the present species differs inter alia from L. contermimiSy 

 Olliff, by its much less trans\ erse prothorax, from L. contaminatus, 

 Gr., by its testaceous antennae, from L. Leachi, Gr., by the very 

 elongate terminal joints of its antennae. 



Victoria (sent by Mr. French).^ 



SILVANUS. 



S. sirnilis, Wesm. Mr. French has sent me for determination 

 an example (from P. Mackay, Queensland) of a Silrami.^ which I 

 cannot separate specifically from this European insect. It has- 

 not been previously recorded as Australian.
