NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
on each side, then two oblique, small white spots; the sides 
broadly marked with whitish scales, edged immediately beneath 
with ochreous; three fascicles on each side of the median line, the 
basal small and dark, intermediate reddish and with a few short 
setie, apical composed of elongate setae, which slightly project 
over the head. Scutellum small, round. Elytra with a few 
whitish scales towards the apex, each with a number — about ten 
— of small irregularly placed, sparsely setose tubercles, and a 
large one about the middle — equidistant from each other and the 
sides — covered with long setse, paler in the middle, darker and 
shorter at apex. Legs with irregular rings of whitish scales, and 
with whitish and brownish setse; femora thick, keeled beneath, 
the keel terminating abruptly at a third from the apex; tibiae 
flattened, arcuate (especially the intermediate), a short spur at 
their apices. Length 5, width 2| mm. 
Hah. — Sydney. 
I have but one specimen, and do not care to scrape it too much, 
where I have scraped off the scales on the elytra, the derm is seen 
to be shining, and covered with very minute punctures; the 
shining median line is very conspicuous. 
CORYLOPHIDJE. 
This family appears to be numerously represented in Australia, 
although but two species have been hitherto described. Most of 
the following species were obtained during floods, others by 
searching decaying vegetable matter, and a few by beating drying 
boughs of Eucalypts and other plants. All of them have the 
prothorax strongly rounded in front and entirely covering the 
head; with a few of the species I have not been able to examine 
the head; in all that I have the eyes are coarsely faceted. They 
are all shining and slightly convex, a few moderately convex; in 
most of them the pubescence is of a yellowish colour, where it is 
otherwise I have specified it. The lengths given are those from 
apex of prothorax to apex of elytra; where I have had numerous 
specimens I have taken an average-sized one.
