On new Species of Histeridae. 81 



Huechys fascialis, Walk. Journ. Lima. Soc. Load., Zool. i. 

 p. 142 (1859). 



The type of this species has not been found in the British 

 Museum. The collection of which it formed part originally 

 belonged to Mr. W. Wilson Saunders, though it afterwards 

 passed into the National Collection. Even now 1 cannot 

 exactly determine it, though we possess a series of specimens 

 from Borneo that nearly answer to the description and which 

 I think must be taken as representing it. But in these 

 the abdomen is piceous brown, not black, and with the 

 segmental margins pale testaceous. The front, face, and 

 mesouotal spots are ochraceous rather than testaceous 

 as described.

This is the thirty-ninth paper of this series, and as the types 

 of the Histeridae described by the late Rev. T. Blackburn are 

 now in the Natural History Museum I have been able to give 

 figures of four very interesting Australian species. Of the 

 genus Chlamydopsis and its allies there are now twenty-nine 

 species known.
