type, but considerably larger, and that so consistently that, even 

 if it be considered as a variety of that species, it deserves a 

 special name. I have taken a species very much like it in the 

 Blue Mountains, also under Eucalyptus bark, which I have 

 always considered as a variety of A. geniale or A. calosomoides, 

 but the antennae and tarsi are not rufous as A. alpicola is 

 characterised; but this is the only definite character, except size, 

 by which I can differentiate A. alpicola from A. calosomoides. 



A. angulation Blackb. — Mr. Blackburn has kindly given me 

 one specimen as a cotype. It is extremely close to A. anguli- 

 colle of Castelnau, but differs in its thicker edge to pronotum, 

 its wider explanate margin, especially near the anterior angles, 

 which are much more prominent and reflexed than in Castelnau's 

 species. The puncturation of the pronotum and elytra is also 

 more regular and even, and the intercoxal process is without a 

 carinulate edge. 



A. ellipticum Blackb. — I have also a cotype of this species 

 from its author. It is a common species in the Richmond and 

 Clarence River district, easily identified by its brilliant colour 

 and smooth elytra. 



A. inconspicuum Blackb., a small species from Kangaroo Island, 

 very close to A. brevicome Blessig, but smaller and more coarsely 

 punctured. 



A.lindense Blackb. — I took several specimens of this at Mount 

 Barker, W.A., which do not materially differ from the South 

 Australian specimens I have. While approaching A. auratum 

 in size and elytral sculpture, its pronotum is more wrinkled, and 

 its form generally narrower than Pascoe's species. 



A. occidentals Blackb., from West Australia, is a line species 

 strongly differentiated from all others by its large and projecting 

 eyes, punctulate but glabrous pronotum, posterior angles acute 

 and projecting outwards, its regularly striate-punctate elytra and 

 its shining black colour. 



A. pustulosum Blackb. — Until I was able to examine the type 

 of A. victories Blackb., the descriptions of these species led me 

 into much uncertainty as to their identification. Having
