the exception is the only instance of the occurrence of this group 

 in Australia. Telephae itself might be taken for one of the Prio- 

 nomerinse ; but it may be at once distinguished, inter alia, by the 

 anterior coxae not being contiguous. The species described above 

 differs from T. laticolKs in its oval outline, the lateral callus on 

 the prothorax tuberculiform, the prothorax itself considerably less 

 transverse, &c. ; the hairs on the elytra are confined to the inter- 

 stices as in the other species, and give the parts they cover a stripy 

 appearance.
