114 Notes on Australian Coleoptera. 
to Guttiger, but form rather more elongate, and the yellow 
spot of the elytra almost circular and placed on the posterior 
half of the elytra. 
Port Denison. 
Note.—The last seven sorts are nearly allied to Guttiger, 
but are distinguished—Occidentalis, by its punctured elytra ; 
Marginata and Brisbanensis, by the light-coloured margin of 
the thorax and elytra; Guittifer, by the yellow spot of the 
elytra being posterior; Rockhamptonensis, by the same, haying 
the form of a V, by the junction of the two elytra; Thouzet, 
by its elongate form, its general colour, &c. 
I have now to mention a series of species entirely black, 
or of a dark brown without spots on the elytra; they are 
all more or less connected with Sp. Fallax of West, which is 
a large sort rather commonly found in the southern parts of 
Australia. 
Silphomorpha Grandis: length 8’; of an oblong ‘form ; 
black, glossy; parts of the mouth and antenne brown; 
thorax rather rounded on its sides; slightly bi-impressed 
on its posterior margin; elytra broad, almost parallel, very 
slightly striated; inferior side of the body and legs of a. 
dark brown. 
Port Denison. | 
Silphomorpha Striata : length 64’; of an oval, depressed 
form; black, rather glossy; thorax much narrower in front 
than behind, bi-impressed on its posterior margin; elytra |

parts of the mouth, antenne, lower parts of the body and 
leos of a dark brown. 
From the northern parts of New South Wales. 
Silphormorpha Vicina: length 6} to 8’; very nearly allied 
to Fallax, but bright and glossy; the thorax a little shorter 
and broader; the strize of the elytra a little more strongly 
marked; the. parts of the mouth of the same dark colour 
as the body; inferior side and legs of a dark and glossy 
brown. 
Brisbane.

depressed, black, rather shiny; head large; thorax large, 
broader than the elytra, with a wide lateral margin; its
