Tenebrionidasyrowi Australia and Tasmania. 31 



There are three genera of Boletophaginae with ten-jointed 

 antennae: one is North American (Phellidius* , Leconte), an- 

 other (Ozolais, Pasc.) is from Ega, on the Amazons, and the 

 above f; as might be expected from three such widely sepa- 

 rated localities, there is very little affinity between them. 

 There are several genera, some new, with eleven-jointed an- 

 tenna3, which, as they do not belong to Australia, I propose to 

 consider in a future article : one of them has been recently 

 published as a Dicer oderes (D. elongatus, Redtenbacher) , but 

 it is a true Boletophagin (Dysantes, MS.). 



Orcopagia monstrosa. PI. X. fig. 8. 



0. elongata, indumento rufo-ferrugineo vestita, subtus pedibusque 

 squamosis. 

 Hab. Clarence River. 



Elongate, covered above and on the head with a reddish- 

 ferruginous felt-like substance ; beneath and legs with small 

 scales of a yellower colour ; head completely concealed above 

 by the prothorax, the horn on the clypeus horizontal (in refer- 

 ence to the body) ; prothorax longitudinally excavated above, 

 the excavation bordered above with a row of tubercles, except 

 posteriorly, where it is also notched for the reception of part of 

 the scutellum ; the latter oblong rounded, a little raised ; ely- 

 tra irregularly tuberculate, particularly a strongly marked 

 crest, which is also tuberculate, on each side of the scutellum, 

 and projecting forwards on the prothorax at the edge on the 

 declivous portion on each side a conical tuberculate projection. 

 Length 4 lines. 



Ulodica. 



Subfamily JJlobinje. 



Antenna; haud clavatse ; art. 3 io quam 4 ,us duplo longiore. 

 Prothorax transversa^, utrinque rotundatas, marginibus squamosis. 



This genus differs from JJlodes\ in its antennae having 

 the third joint much longer than either the second or fourth. 

 Ulodes has the remarkable character of having all the joints of 

 equal length, the last three, as in Ulodica, being pubescent, 

 while all the others are covered with stiff scale-like hairs 

 arranged in dense whorls. The genus was referred by its 

 aiithor, as well as by M. Lacordaire (to whom, however, it was 



* = Boletotherus, Candeze. The name in the text has priority. 



t It was briefly characterized by me in the Proc. Entom. Soc. for April 

 last (1868).

 genus also belongs Endophlceus variieornis, Hope ; the same author's E. 

 australis is a Dipsaconia.
