10 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera and Species of 



by Motscliulskjj I propose:! to replace it by the above*. 

 The characters as given by M. Lacordairef apply to all the 

 species hitherto described, and therefore they need not be re- 

 peated here. Only one species was then known [A, Walck- 

 naerij Hope) ; the other two, dilaticollis^ Guer., and Kirhyij 

 Sol., I have no doubt are referable to it. The above is a very 

 handsome species, and easily distinguished by its colour. All 

 the species appear to have the head and prothorax impunctate, 

 or nearly so, the former has a frontal horseshoe-shaped or 

 stirrup-like impressed line, the anterior portion being the 

 groove dividing the clypeus from the front ; on the prothorax 

 there are a central and two lateral impressed lines, each termi- 

 nating posteriorly in a more or less strongly marked fovea ; 

 the lateral lines are frequently abbreviated. The males have 

 the anterior tarsi slightly dilated, and the antennge thicker 

 than in the females. I am not sure that the greater breadth 

 of the prothorax noticeable in some individuals is always a 

 sexual character. 



Atrypliodes Castelnaudi. 



A. niger, vix nitidus ; prothorace transverso, angulis anticis obtusis, 

 lateribus rotundatis, modice foliaceis, sulcis discoidalibus subtiHter 

 impressis ; elytris subnitidis, costis alternis minoribus. 



Hah, Kiama. 



Black, scarcely or only very slightly nitid on the head and 

 prothorax, more so on the elytra ; antennse nitid, especially at 

 the base j prothorax transverse, not broader than the elytra, 

 anterior angles obtuse, the sides with a moderately wide folia- 

 ceous margin, well rounded, and considerably narrower at the 

 base ; the discoidal lines nearly obsolete, except at the base, 

 the fovese in which they terminate very shallow ; scutellum 

 subcordiform ; elytra about twice the length of the prothorax, 

 their alternate costas smaller than the others ; body beneath 

 and legs pitchy black, shining. Length 10-11 lines. 



I have dedicated this fine species to Count F. de Castelnau, 

 who, in addition to numerous previously well-known ento- 

 mological works, has recently presented us with an appa- 

 rently exhaustive list of the Australian Cicindelidse and Ca- 

 rabidge. 



Atrypliodes cordicollis. 



A. niger, nitidus ; prothorace subcordiformi, lateribus modice folia- 

 ceis, antice fortiter rotundatis, postice conniventibus, angulis an- 

 ticis late rotundatis, sulcis discoidalibus fortiter impressis, latera- 

 libus elongatis ; elytris costis sequalibus. 



Hah. Brisbane. 



Black, shining ; included part of the stirrup-shaped impres-
