Tenebrionidge from Australia and Tasmania. 141 



licately punctate-striate, the intervals of the stride flattish, 

 sparingly punctured ; epipleurae of the elytra, body beneath, 

 femora, and tibiae glossy reddish brown, sparsely punctured ; 

 tarsi fulvous ; antenna? ferruginous, thicker outwards, the last 

 joint large and as long as the two preceding together. Length 

 4 lines. 



Brycopia. 

 Oculi prominuli, subrotundati. 

 Mentum angulis anticis rotundatuin. 

 Prothorax apice haud emarginatus. 



The principal differentiating character in this genus is the 

 prominent and nearly circular eye. The simple clypeal suture 

 may probably also be taken as a generic character. The tarsi 

 are closely tomentose beneath, as in Adelium. 



Brycopia pilosella. 



B. breviter et sparse pilosa ; capite prothoraceque violaceo-nigris ; 

 elytris cupreis, punctato-striatis. 



Hob. Mount Macedon, Victoria. 



Shining above, with short erect scattered hairs ; head and 

 prothorax violet-black, coarsely punctured, the clypeal suture 

 not sending a branch along the base of the antennaiy ridge ; 

 sides of the prothorax well rounded anteriorly, then contracting 

 more gradually to the base ; scutellum triangular ; elytra 

 oblong oval, coarsely punctate-striate, the intervals between the 

 stride impunctate, epipleurae scarcely punctured ; body beneath 

 reddish pitchy, punctured ; legs and antennas pale ferruginous, 

 the last joint of the latter rounded, a little larger than the 

 preceding one. Length 3 lines. 



Dinoria. 



Oculi parvi, rotundati. 



Tarsi subtus pilosi. 



Prothorax apice haud emarginatus. 



Very similar to Brycopia, and only to be distinguished by 

 the pilose tarsi. The clypeal suture is also simple. 



Dinoria picta. 

 D. cuprea, nitida ; elytris marginibus fulvis. 



Hob. Tasmania. 



Copper-brown, shining ; head coarsely punctured, the cly- 

 peus forming a prominent fold above ; prothorax transverse, 

 roughly and not closely punctured, rounded at the sides, more 

 narrowed behind the middle, the posterior angles prominent,
