FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
WITH DESCRIPTIONS OP NEW GENERA AND 
SPECIES. 
By the Rev. T. Blackburn, B.A. 
The following notes and descriptions are founded chiefly on 
several collections made in the Northern Territory of S. Australia ; 
I have included, however, among them the results of the examina- 
tion of various Coleoptera from other parts of Australia that have 
recently come into my hands ; — 
CARABID^. 
Hypharpax.

In a note on this species in the Trans. Roy. Soc. South Australia, 
1887 (p. 190), I drew attention to the anomalous charactei’s of 
this insect, which seems to be very isolated among the Australian 
Harjialides, and also expressed a doubt whether I was acquainted 
with the male. I have recently procured on the sea coast near 
Adelaide, a male example which I have no doubt is conspecific 
with the females previously known to me, although its elytra and 
undersurface are darker in colour than any of them, and its 
antenn* have a little more tendency to infuscation towards the 
apex. A study of this specimen has satisfied me that the insect 
is much nearer to Hypharpax than to any other described genus ; 
it presents diflerences however that may possibly indicate generic 
dLstinction, but as the sexual characters of species already attri- 
buted to Byjiharjxix pre.sent considerable diversity, I prefer for the 
present to regard II. J)nyrollei, Cast., as a somewhat aberrant
