202 Notes on Australian Coleoptera. 
CERABILIA. 
Mentum broad, transverse, emarginated, without a tooth 
in the emargination; wings of the mentum very broad, 
rounded laterally, pointed at the apex. Labrum almost 
square, rather transverse, entire; mandibule rather strong, 
arched, pointed. Palpi with their last article oval, fusiform, 
pointed at the apex. Antenne rather long, with the first 
article strong and thick, the second conical and short, the 
third a little longer, the others equal; the last oval. Tarsi 
with their first article longer than the others ; the anterior 
having, in the male, their first three articles broad, triangular, 
and furnished underneath with squamulz and spiniform 
hair. Head rather small, oval ; thorax almost square, rather 
transverse ; elytra oval, rather depressed, no appearance of 
an abbreviated stria; thighs rather strong; tibie rather 
slender, straight, the posterior rather arched ; the anterior 
becoming thick towards the apex, strongly emarginated, and 
ended by a spine, with another at the top of the excavation; 
all the tibia having a row of spines; the form of the tarsi 
clearly show, that this insect belongs to the Feromde ; 
the absence of the abbreviated stria of the elytra, and the 
form of the palpi clearly distinguishes it from all the known 
genera of that family. 
Cerabilia Maori: length 44’; of a dark brown; thorax 
with a feeble transverse impression in front, a moderately 
marked longitudinal sulcate, and two narrow impressions 
backwards ; elytra feebly striated, with the margin im- 
pressed backwards ; legs, palpi, and antenne of a reddish 
brown. 
From Dunedin, New Zealand. 
TIBARISUS. 
Mentum deeply emarginated, with the central part ad- 
vanced and rounded ; wings large, broad, pointed at the 
extremity, rounded on the external side. Labrum trans- 
versal, emarginated in front. Mandibulz large, prominent, 
as long as the portion of the head extending behind their 
bases ; they are broad, subcarinated, rounded towards the 
extremity, pointed at the apex, without teeth on the inner 
side, and rather curved downwards. Palpi: maaillare long, 
the first article very small; the second very long, curved, 
compressed; the third more slender, conical, rather shorter 
than the precedent ; fourth of the length of the third, sub-
