Toxicum* punctljpe^me. 



I. nigrum, opacum J cornibus capitis elongatis ; protlioracis apice lobato; 

 elytris fortiter lineato-piinctatis ; antennarum clava triarticidata. 



Hab. Australia. 



Black, opake -, head deeply excavated between the four horns, and 

 coarsely and remotely punctured, the posterior horns with a fulvous tuft 

 on the apex ; eyes undivided ; labrum black ; antennce with the last three 

 joints only forming the club; prothorax moderately transverse, finely 

 punctured, anterior angles scarcely produced, broadly lobed at the apex ; 

 scutellum triangular; elytra broader than the prothorax, coarsely punc- 

 tured in lines ; body beneath and legs black, shining. Length 2^ lines. 



Near T. quadricorne, Fab., but with the club of the antennae with 

 three joints only, a narrower prothorax, and coarsely punctured 

 elytra. 



Toxicum brevicorne. 



T. nigi'um, opacum ; cornibus capitis brevibus ; prothoracis apice baud 

 lobato ; antennarimi clava triarticulata. 



Hab. Victoria. 



Black, opake ; head slightly excavated in front, moderately but more 

 closely punctured ; posterior horns short, triangular, with the small tuft 

 of fulvous hairs confined to the anterior part of the apex ; lip testa- 

 ceous-brown; club of the antennae four-jointed; prothorax slightly 

 transverse, not lobed at the apex, finely punctured ; scutellum triangu- 

 lar ; elytra lineate-punctate, the punctures of moderate size ; body 

 beneath and legs chestnut-brown, shining. Length 4 lines. 



A very distinct species, but agreeing with the above in having the 

 eyes undivided : this character and the number of joints (three or 

 four) composing the club seem in this genus to be of secondary 

 value only. I have seen no female either of this or the preceding. 



Ulomaf depressa. 



U. depressa, pallide rufo-ferruginea ; elytris striato-punctatis, punctis 

 distinctis sed parvis ; tibiis anticis extus quadridentatis. 



Hab. Queensland. 



Bather broad, depressed, pale reddish or orange-ferruginous, but 

 sometimes much darker ; head finely punctured, a slight curved im- 

 pression in front ; prothorax smooth, glossy, minutely punctured ; scu- 

 tellum small, scutiform; elytra striato-punctate, the junctm-es distinct 

 but rather small ; body beneath and legs brownish orange, shining ; fore 

 tibiae with four stout serratures externally towards the apex, the inter- 

 mediate with five or six small serratures, the posterior smooth on both 

 sides. Length 6 lines.
