268 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF ADELIUM, 



Macleay has since added A. convexiuscidiom, A. monilicome, A. 

 panageicolle, A. parvidum, A. rugicolle and A. viridipenne, 

 described in his * Insects from Gayndah.' 



A. convexiusculum Macl. — I have two cotypes of this species 

 kindly given me by Mr. Masters; a small species of the A. calo- 

 somoides type, with obsolete hind angles to prothorax, from 

 Gayndah, Q. 



A. monilicome Macl., differs manifestly in the structure of its 

 antennae, the shape of its eyes, which are nearly round, as seen 

 from above, though not prominent, and in its sculpture, from all 

 Adelia known to me. It would seem to me to be nearer Brycopia 

 than Adelium. There are specimens in the Macleay and Aus- 

 tralian Museums, of which the latter probably contains the type, 

 but as is usual with Macleay's types, unmarked as such. 



A. panageicolle Macl. — Mr. Masters has generously given me 

 two specimens of this interesting little species, which may have 

 to stand for a type of another genus, from its moniliform antennae, 

 pilose tarsi, and sculpture and shape of prothorax. The pilose 

 tarsi, however, would place it under Dystalica, to which it has 

 the nearest affinity. 



A. parvulum Macl. — Specimens in the Macleay and Australian 

 Museums. From its rounded eyes it should be referred to 

 Brycopia, though in this respect the character shows some 

 modification. 



A. rugosicolle and A. viridipenne Macl., have already been 

 noticed above. 



Mr. Blackburn has described eleven species, viz , A. cequale, 

 A. alpicola, A. angulation, A. ellipticum, A. inconspicuum, A. 

 lindense, A. occidentale, A. pustulosum, A. simplex, A. tropicum 

 and A. victorice. Through the courtesy of Mr. Blackburn I have 

 been able to examine the types of all except A. cequale, A. sim- 

 plex and A victorice, while Mr. C. French has kindly lent me the 

 type of A. victor iw. 



A. 'alpicola Blackb., occurs on Mount Kosciusko, where I have 

 taken it myself, as well as on the Victorian Alps, of which Kos- 

 ciusko is really a portion It is certainly of the A. calosomoides
