100. Sclerorinus occidentalis, Sloane. Types, d , 9 • This 



species is very close to S. angustipennis, but I regard 

 it as distinct. Two other specimens from Blackburn's 

 collection are in the Museum, and one ( 9 ) labelled 

 "Upper Murchison, Helms" (the type locality). 



101. Sclerorinus, sp. n. — A <S labelled "Western Australia," 



York, Blackburn's collection, belongs to a new species 

 allied to S. elderi. In the absence of more specimens 

 I have not thought it advisable to describe the 

 species. 



102. Sclerorinus molestus, Pascoe(?). — Eyre Sandpatch, 



Fowler Bay, Ouldea. An extensive series was sent 

 of a species which I have had with some doubt iden- 

 tified as S. molestus by Mr. Blair, of the British 

 Museum. The species appears to be common in the 

 regions bordering the Great Australian Bight, and 

 is recognizable by its parallel-sided form with dense 

 yellowish clothing, except on the tubercles. Several 

 specimens from Eyre Sandpatch differ from the 

 usual form in having the prothorax more dilatate and 

 the elytra not parallel-sided ; the tubercles are also 

 rather smaller.^ I do not regard the form as 

 specifically distinct. One <S labelled "Fowler's Bay" 

 appears somewhat different, but is greatly abraded ; 

 the tubercles are red instead of black, diluted with 

 red. 



103. Sclerorinus sabulosus, Macl. — South Australia: Port 



Augusta. 



104. Sclerorinus, sp. ( ?) — A single specimen from Pinnaroo 



of what is probably a new species allied to S. 

 sabulosus. I have numerous specimens from the 

 mallee districts of Victoria at present under 

 examination. 



105. Sclerorinus biordinatus, Macl. — Yorke Peninsula. An 



exceptionally beautiful species. 



106. Sclerorinus blackburni, n. sp. 



107. Sclerorinus exilis, Macl. 



108. Sclerorinus longus, Macl. 



109. Sclerorinus vestitus, Macl. — South Australia: Gawler 



Ranges ; New South Wales : Silverton ; Victoria : 

 Birchip. The Victorian specimens are, as a rule, 

 narrower than the South Australian, but I do not 

 regard them as distinct. 



(3) Judging from notes forwarded by Mr. Blair, this form 

 probably corresponds closely with the type of S. molestus, Pasc.
