324 The Insect Fmma of Van Bieinen^s Land. 



tinent. Upis and Tenehrio, so widely spread over the whole 

 earthy are the only genera of this division not peculiar 

 to N. Holland. Upis (and of this the insects having square 

 neckplates^ included by Dejean under Ijihtliimts) has sent 

 one new species ; Tenehrio tvfo new species,, and T. Australis 

 Mac Leay ? (■^^") . Heleus has not, as yet, sent any species, 

 although its presence in Van Diemen's Land maybe reason- 

 ably supposed : of the analagous, but less remarkable genus 

 Cilibe Latr. (t) one new species has been forwarded. 

 Adelium is well known as being peculiar to New Holland : our 

 collection contains four species ; three of which are new, the 

 fourth is known as A. ahbreviatimi Latr. (J). Nearly allied to 

 Adelium is a new species of a new genus Olisthana ; and 

 Vachjccelia also, of which the only species P. sulcicollis ,(^ 

 Dej. is one of the commonest insects in Van Diemen^s Land. 

 The new genus Ilelops assimilates more with the StenocJiice, 

 and is represented by two new species of the name oiTitaua, 



One single species of a new genus Ulodes, is related to 

 Boletopliagits. 



The remaining neteromerce belong to more widely distri- 

 buted forms ; as Lagria grandis Schonh, (||) two new species 

 of Anthicus, one of Mordella. Of the family of the 

 Cantliarides we have but one single insect Tmesidera nifi-

 analysis of its generic distinctions, but he has omitted the mention of avery character- 

 istic incision in the centre of the tongue.
