Mr. Masters has sent me a single specimen of this new 

 form, apparently a male. So far as I have been able to ex- 

 amine it without dissection it appears to me to belong to the 

 (Eminae, a subfamily whose genera are mostly highly special- 

 ized. I can say nothing of its aftinities, except that its eyes 

 are like those of Ciopera, and that in habit it resembles Neo- 

 conis ibidionoides. Its anterior cotyloid cavities appear to be 

 open behind ; but of this I am not quite sure : a remarkable 

 peculiarity is the erect spine on each side of the prothorax at 

 the base, (owing to its direction) not noticeable in the figure.

 que creberrime punctulatis, hoc latitiidine fere duplo longiore, 

 postice paulo angustiore, dorso tubercuHs quinque, scil. duobus 

 pone medium sitis, duobus praibasahbus, altcro intermedio,

Trypliocharia Mastersii, 



T. depressa, rufo-brunnascens, pone basin elytrorum subfasciatim 

 fulvescens, vaga pilosa ; capita sat rude crebre, occipite sub- 

 cornigato-punctato ; antennis ( $ ) corpora manifesta brevioribus ;

 obsolete punctato, tuberculis quinque indeterminatis instructo, 

 lateralitar laviter tubercidato ; scutello subtriangulari ; elytris 

 subnitidis, sat crebra punctatis, punctis ad apicem gradatim fere 

 cvanescentibus, apice singulorura breviter bispinoso ; corpora infra

Hah. Victoria (Melbourne). 



The genus Tryphocharia was not adopted by Lacordaire, 

 who, as he afterwards wrote me, was completely mistaken in 

 his identification of the species on which it was founded *, 



* In another case I noticed that in his collection at Liege the genus 

 Alloti\'!is was represented bv a small specimen of Phoracantha senio ; there 

 were two or three other tjongirnrns (and there might have been more) 

 which were also wronirlv named.
