the elytra and the sudden ending of the seriate foveole of the 
elytra at the beginning of the apical one-third part of the elytra. 
There is also a difference in the apical joint of the antenne on 
which in A. anailis there is a distinct external excavation (but 
not in the present species). The seriate foveolæ of the elytra are 
apical one-third of the elytra, while in corallipes it reaches 
nearly into the apical one-fourth.

A. (Clerus) delicatulus, Bohem. I have taken an Aulicus in 
the Sydney neighbourhood which I have no doubt is Bobemann's 
species t does not seem to present very strong characters, its 
most str riking feature being I think the comparatively feeble 
—' of its elytra, which consists of rows of transversely 
quadrate —€— — by continuous longitudinal inter- 
stices which are (not, as they are in A. chrysurus, Chevr., thrown 
out of shape or zigzagged by still iiber transverse interstices 
mcr continuously across several the r rows but) straight. In 
interstices are almost flat, er carry a d row of fine an 
not very closely placed punctures. The sculpture of the median 
part of the elytra does not in A. delicatulus abruptly cease or 
change its character at a more or less considerable distance from 
the apex (as it does in many species of en but merely 
becomes near y apex a little feebler and less seri. The hind 
tibie and tarsi are unusually slender, which cipe the idea 
that A. virt, Pasc. ign from Sydney) may be a later 
name for the same insect. Pascoe’s statement that in 
4. eg wi elytra are “coarsely” punctured in rows 
istent with such identity, but the expression 
is sit altogether tiüpblicutló to the elytra of the insect before 
me absolutely, although mei méme à (i.e., compared with most 
other Aulici) the sculpture is not coarse. Some remarks seems 
to be called for on my having placed delicatulus in my tabulation 
(a rade with A. Plutus, Chevr., as having the longitudinal 
channel of tbe rue 'ékooptionally long, whereas Bohemann 
says of its pronotum *' breviter canaliculato.” Bohemann calls it 
by the name “ Clerus," however, and it is in comparison with that 
of other 4ulici that I call the longitudinal channel of its pro- 
notum elongate. Absolutely, the channel may be called “short” 
as it does not reach the base, and does not nearly reach the front 
margin, of the pronotum.
