 Species- Part M.

In the present part the remaining genera of the sub- 

 family are dealt with. These comprise chiefly Acantholophus, 

 Cuhicorrhynchus, and the genera of the Euomides. Twenty 

 species and two genera are proposed as new ; the new species 

 belong to the following genera: Acantliolophus (6), Cuhico- 

 rrhynchus (6), Molochtus (1), Acherres (3), Melanegis (1), 

 Amorphorrhinus (1), Brachymycterus (1), and Cucullo- 

 thorax (1). The two new genera are: Brachymycterus 

 and CiiC'ullothora.T. In addition to the species con- 

 tained in the accompanying list, there were a number 

 of female specimens of Ciihicorrhi/nchus which it was 

 impossible to identify : these were not listed, though 

 some may be possibly new. It was also found impos- 

 sible to absolutely identify a number of species belonging to 

 the Euomid genera, in particular to Dialtptopus and Tetra- 

 lophus. Many of these species are so poorly described that 

 comparison with the types, mostly in the British Museum, 

 will be necessary to fix the species. A number of specimens 

 sent belong to species and genera already dealt with in the 

 first part of this paper. A separate list of these has been 

 given, for the sake of recording their localities. 



130. Acanfholophus gladiator, Pasc, c^" • — Western Aus- 



tralia : Mullewa (J. F. May). 



131. Acantholophus apicalis, Macl. — South Australia: 



Mount Lofty (S. H. Curnow). Several specimens 

 of both sexes, mostly without exact locality label. 



132. Acant]ioJoj}hus dumosus, Bohem. — Western Australia: 



Swan River, York. Some of the specimens differ 

 from the usual form in having small but acute sub- 

 apical spines on the elytra. Specimens from Black- 

 burn's collection also differ in having the external 

 rostral margin acutely raised in front. 



133. Acanfholophus dumosus, Bohem., var. hrevicornis, 



Ferg. — A single female labelled ''South Australia." 



134. Acavtholopliyx tirtufiitus, Macl. — Western Australia: 



Capel River (W. D. Dodd). 



135. A cant hoi oph us brown i, n. sp.
