PiNOPHILUS AENEIVENTRIS, Fvl. 



A specimen from Oenpelli (Northern Territory) in the National Museum 

 appears to belong to this species, but has the legs much darker than on typical 

 specimens (almost black, except that the tarsi are paler) ; another specimen, 

 probably immature, from the same locality is entirely of a dingy (but not 

 uniform) castaneous-brown ; an almost identical specimen, but even paler, is in 

 Mr. Carter's collection, from Cooktown. A specimen from North-western Aus- 

 tralia appears to belong to the species, but differs from several, from Victoria 

 and South Australia, in having the punctures of the prothorax and elytra denser 

 and the legs darker (although not black). On its right mandible the median 

 tooth is acutely bicuspidate, on the left one less conspicuously so ; and they 

 similarly vary on all those whose mandibles I have forced out for examination. 



PiNOPHILUS marginellus, Fvl. Fig. 3. 

 Two specimens from Queensland (Cairns and Brisbane) agree so well in 

 colour and in most details with the description (and characters given in the 

 table) of this species that I am averse from regarding them as new; they differ 

 from the description, however, in having the prothorax transverse (about one- 

 fifth wider than long), and with the apical joint of the antennae subtriangularly 

 pointed. The type was from Melbourne, but so many species of the genus are 

 widely distributed that the great distances apart from which the specimens 

 were taken should hardly be considered. Each mandible near the middle is 

 dilated, and then evenly continued to the basal enlargement, so that from some 

 directions it appears dentate. 



PiNOPHILUS TRAPEZUS, Fvl. 



A specimen from Yackandandah (Victoria), in Mr. Davey's collection, 

 differs from typical ones of this species in being of a dingy castaneous-brown, 

 except that the abdomen is darker. Of the mandibles of this species Fauvel 

 only mentioned their colour. On two specimens identified by Blackburn as 

 belonging to the species the mandibles are long, curved, and simple. 



PiNOPHILUS RUBRIPENNIS, Fvl. Fig. 4. 



p. jejunus, Lea. 

 This species varies in the colour of the abdomen from entirely dull reddish- 

 brown or black to black, with the two apical segments and the tips of all the 

 others reddish, the head varies from a dingy-brown to black, and the legs, from 

 almost the same shade of colour as the elytra, to pale flavous. The type of 

 P. ruhripennis was from New South Wales, of P. jejunus from North-western 

 Australia, but the species also occurs in Queensland. 



PiNOPHILUS MACLEAYI, Duv. 



A specimen from Broadmeadows (Victoria) in Mr. Oke's collection, has 

 the head and prothorax of a rather dark castaneous, the elytra darker and the 

 abdomen almost black, except that its tip and sides are obscurely paler.
