102 Notes on Australian Coleoptera. 
Ctenodactylide. 
The insects of this group known till now are all American, 
and it is with hesitation that I transfer to it the new genus 
I propose forming under the name of Hudalia on the Odacan- 
tha Latepennis of Mr. MacLeay. This insect. can hardly be 
called.a Truncatipenni, his elytra being only slightly 
sinuated, but not truncated at the extremity. On account 
of the claws of its tarsi being simple, it can only be placed 
with Leptotrachelus, but its form is nearly allied to Pionycha, 
and it is well characterised by the penultimate article of the 
tarsi not being bilobed. 
Ludalia Latypennis. 
Odacantha Latypennis. —Macheay “ Trans. of the Ee 
Soc. of Sydney.” 
From Port Denison. 
Eudalia Waterhousitt: \ength 5’; black, covered with a 
dense puncturation; elytra striated, and having a very narrow 
posterior yellow margin; parts of the mouth, base of the 
antenne and legs of a brownish yellow. Same form as the 
first species. 
This insect was found by Mr. Waterhouse in Arnheim’s 
Land, and that gentleman kindly favoured me with a speci- 
men of it. 
Galeritidee. 
DRYPTA. 
Of this genus one sort (Australis, MacLeay, senior,) has 
been known for a long time; no others have yet been dis- 
covered in Australia, but I will describe here a species of an 
allied genus. 
Dendroscellus Smaragdinus, “Chaud. Materiaux,” &c., 1861, 
p. 55: length 5°; bluish green, very densely puncturated ; 
palpi, antenne and lees black ; thighs, with the exception of 
the knees, parts of the mouth, base of the antenne, and 
tarsi of a brownish red. 
This pretty insect was sent to me from Rockhampton by 
Mr. Thouzet; it is very nearly allied to Longicollis Dej. from 
Malacca, but it is distinguished by its tibiz, which are black 
in the Australian, and red in the Indian species. Itis by 
mistake stated by Baron Chaudoir to have been found near 
Melbourne.
