124 Notes on Australian Coleoptera. 
minal article long, oval, and rounded at the extremity ; man- — 
dibule strong and arched ; labrum transverse and emargi- 
nated in front ; head rounded, terminated behind by a neck ; 
thorax almost square, rather broader than long; elytra 
rather depressed, long, and parallel; legs strong; thighs 
rather dilated ; anterior tibize curved in their lower part ; 
tarsi of the same pair rather dilated, with their first four 
articles triangular. This genus is distinct from Morio by 
the form of the anterior legs, and from Hyperion by the 
labial palpi, the antenne, &c. It has almost entirely the 
fascies of Morvo. : 
Moviomorpha Victorie : length 5}; entirely of a light red-. 
dish brown ; thorax a little narrower behind than in front, 
with a longitudinal sulcate on the middle, and two strong 
impressions behind ; elytra striated. fi 
From the Dandenong Ranges; one single specimen in 
Dr. Howitt’s collection. 
Moriomorpha Adelaide: length 44’ ; entirely of a dark, 
glossy brown ; thorax more cordiform than in the preceding, ~ 
much narrower behind ; elytra very strongly striated. 
I received this insect from Adelaide ; it was sent to me 
by Mr. Odewahn. 
MORIODEMA. 
Mentum deeply emarginated, without any appearance 
of a tooth; the lateral wings large, straight inter- 
nally, rounded on their external side, and terminated by an 
acute angle; antenne rather long, nearly the length of — 
the head and thorax united ; the first article the strongest, — 
the second small, the third the longest, the fourth conical, 
the others thicker but shorter, increasing in size, the eleventh 
oval and pointed; palpi, with their last article in both 
pairs, longer than the others, elongated and oval; man- 
dibule rather short, arched and acute at the extremity ; 
labrum transverse and lightly marginated in front; 
head rounded, terminated posteriorly by a neck; thorax’ 
almost square, rather transverse; elytra rather depressed, 
long and parallel ,; legs strong, thighs rather dilated ; ante- 
rior tibie arched, strongly emarginated inside; tarsi of the 
anterior pair dilated, with their first four articles short and 
triangular. 
This genus has almost entirely the appearance of Morio, 
but is immediately distinguished by its antenne longer and 
increasing in thickness towards their extremity ; the form 
of the anterior legs and the mentum without a tooth are
