MORIO. 
Morio Australis: length 7’; of a glossy black; form 
elongated ; head decreasing behind the eyes, but not in an 
abrupt way; thorax a little longer than broad, narrower 
behind with its anterior angles acute; it is marginated 
laterally, sulcated longitudinally on its centre, and bi- 
impressed on its posterior part; its surface presents faint 
and irregular transverse striz ; elytra long, parallel, strongly 
striated; parts of the mouth, antenne, and legs, of a dark 
red ; the antenne are hirsute, except on their basilar 
articles. 
Variety.— Of a reddish brown, legs of a lighter colour. 
From New South Wales. 
Note.—The sort most nearly allied to this is Monilicorms, © 
from America. 2 
Morio Nove Hollandice: length 5’; very nearly allied to 
the precedent, but much smaller, still more elongate and 
parallel ; elytra more strongly striated. 
Brisbane, Queensland. 
Morio Piceus: length 53’; of a glossy brown; thorax 
rather broader than long ; marginated laterally, narrowed 
behind, with the anterior angles rather rounded ; a longi- 
tudinal suleate on the centre; a transversal impression in 
front and another behind; the latter has a deep impression 
at each of its extremities; elytra with strong punctated 
strie. 
Victoria (Mount Macedon). In Dr. Howitt’s collection. 
Note.—This sort is nearly allied to Morio Senegalensis,

Morio Victorie: length 84; this Morio is very nearly 
allied to Australis, and it is only with hesitation that I 
separate them. It isof a larger size ; the head is larger, the 
thorax a little broader, principally behind ; the elytra are 
more deeply striated, and their margin is broader. 
One single specimen from Victoria, in the collection of 
Dr. Howitt. 
CELANIDA. 
Mentum largely emarginated, with its centre forming a 
large, broad, rounded tooth, the lateral wings very large, pro- 
longated, arched, and rounded at their extremity; antennz
