Notes on Australian Coleoptera. 157 
Adetipa Punctata : Length 73’; of a brilliant black ; head 
having two strong longitudinal impressions between the 
eyes, and a transverse one in front, which unites the former ; 
thorax cordiform, with the anterior angles rounded, the 
sides emarginated ; on the centre is a strong longitudinal 
sulcate; on the anterior part a very feeble transverse 
impression, and behind two very deep longitudinal ones ; 
elytra of a dark purple, having four very deep longitudinal 
strize leaving a broad space between those and the margin ; 
in the interval between the second and third stria are two 
strong punctiform impressions on each elytron, one rather 
before the middle of the length, and the other towards the 
two-thirds ; the lateral margin presents a series of very deep 
punctiform impressions, and the striz of the elytra unite 
towards the extremity ; the lower side of the body is of a 
very brilliant black, and the abdominal segments are very 
strongly impressed laterally ; the tarsi are brown, and the 
antenne hirsute, except on the three first articles. 
From the Clarence River. 
DARODILIA. 
This new genus is nearly allied to Feronia, and the insect 
on which it is formed has the fascies of Omaseus, but it is 
very distinct by its long advanced mandibule, which are 
strong, arched, pointed at the apex, and carinated atthe base; 
the labrum is very strongly and angularly emarginated. 
The palpi are long and slender, with the terminal article 
long, rather oval, and truncated at the extremity ; the men- 
tum is strongly emarginated, with a tooth in the centre ; its 
wings are very broad, rounded externally, and pointed at the 
extremity ; the anterior tarsi are moderately dilated (in the 
only specimen I have), the first article is longer than the 
following, and all are triangular ; the other tarsi are slender, 
with the first article as long as the two others together; on the 
lower side all the tarsi are hirsute, but none have squamule ; 
the head is oval, attenuated behind in form of a neck; the 
antenne are rather long, with the first article strong, the 
second short, the third long, the others shorter, about equal 
among themselves, the last oval; thorax rather rounded ; 
elytra oblong ; legs moderately strong. 
Darodilia Mandibularis : length 6’; of a brilliant black ; 
head and thorax smooth ; the latter rather longer than broad, 
very much rounded on the sides, a little broader in front 
than behind ; it has the anterior transverse impression feebly
