32 Mr. F. P, Pascoe 07i neio Genera and Species of 



unknown), to the vicinity of Boletophagus. From the sub- 

 family to which the Latter belongs, all the species, as well as 

 those' of the cognate genera which have come under my notice, 

 differ in being destitute of the transverse excavation which oc- 

 cm-s behind the insertion of the mentum of the Bolefophaginw ; 

 and, so far as I know, they have globose, not cylindrical, an- 

 terior coxse. Probably, if the illustrious author of the ' Genera ' 

 had known any of the species, he would have made Ulodes 

 the type of another group, as I have now ventured to do. 

 The four genera which constitute the subfamily at present 

 may be tabulated thus : — 



Antennae clavate Ganyme, Pasc. 



Antennae not clavate. 



Prothorax scaly at the sides. 



Antennae with the third joint longest Ulodica, Pasc. 



Antennae with the third joint not longer than the 



rest Ulodes, Er. 



Prothorax ciliated at the sides Dipsaconia, Pasc. 



Ulodica Mspida. 



U. oblonga, fusca, dense bninneo-nigroque squamosa; prothorace 

 disco quadri-verrucoso-fasciculato. 



Hah. Clarence River. 



Oblong, dark brown, closely covered with pale reddish brown, 

 varied with black, scales ; head with small dull reddish-brown 

 scales ; antennas brownish grey ringed with black — principally 

 the third and fourth, sixth, eighth, and base of the ninth joints; 

 prothorax roughly scaly, the apex with two wart-like tubercles 

 clothed with a bunch of erect blackish scales ; behind the mid- 

 dle two similar tubercles, but of a pale brownish colour, like 

 the rest of the disk, except a small black spot on the margin 

 on each side ; scutellum transversely oblong, scaly ; elytra 

 striato-punctate, the alternate interstices with small, blackish, 

 wart-like tubercles, which are obscured by irregular black 

 patches, giving the elytra a dull bro-\vnish feiTuginous hue ; 

 body beneath and legs ferruginous, with greyish-yellow scales ; 

 tibiae with a black ring in the middle. Length 3^ lines. 



Dr. Howitt has also sent me a specimen of this species, but 

 without a locality. 



Ganyme. 

 Subfamily Ulodin^. 



Antennm clavatao, art. 3'° quam 4*"^ longiore. 

 Oculi transversi, angustati. 

 Protliorax utrinque fortiter angulatus. 



Head small, inserted into the prothorax nearly to the eyes, 

 a little produced in front; clypeus indistinct; antennary ridge
