1470 FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
scarcely a point), with the extreme apical margin thickened, 
seems to distinguish this species from all its North Australia 
congeners — unless H. murimts, Pasc., in the description of which 
the elytral apices are not characterized, and which is not known 
to me. 
H. LACTEOLA, Hope. 
In the above-mentioned collection there are also specimens of 
an insect which agree so well with the description of H. lacteola, 
Hope, that I can hardly doubt their identity with it. They belong, 
however, to Mycerinopsis, having antenn® considerably longer 
than the body in the male, and the intermediate tibi® formed as 
in the Aponiecynides. It must be near J/. uniformis, Pascoe, 
from which, however, the elongate strongly narrowed apex of its 
elytra would seem to distinguish it. I may say that the specimens 
before me are all somewhat more yelloioish in colour than Hope’s 
description would lead one to expect, but they are all more or less 
abraded, and there are unabraded portions here and there quite 
decidedly of a milky white. Their size varies from 4 lines to 
6 lines.
