26 species from Australia, and 15 from New Zealand described. The 
latter are the first known from that country, and are comprised in 6 
genera (2 new, 4 European), but probably other genera will have even- 
tually to be characterized for some of them. A form is described con- 
necting the Pselaphini and Euplectini. Id. 1. c. pp. 483-515. 
J. O. Westwood, Thesaurus ent. oxon., shortly re-describes and figures 
his Articerus amazonicus, p. 96, pi. iv. fig. 1, and A. tumidus, p. 97, fig. 2 ; 
and also the following species [Zool. Rec. vii. p. 269] : — Sathytes punctigcr, 
p, 97, pi. iv. fig. 3, CurcuUonellus glahricolUs, fig. 4, angulicollis, fig. 5, 
doreyanus, fig. 55, p. 98, Pselaphodes villosus, fig. 6, Rhytus vestitus, fig. 7, 
p. 99, Goniastes stilcifrons, fig. 8, Dry axis auritulus^ fig. 9c, B. coronatus, 
fig. 9, p. 100, Sintectes carinatus^ fig. 10, Phalepsus subglohosus, fig. 11, 
p. 101, Ryxahis anthicoides, fig. 12, p. 102. 
New genera and species : — 
Tetrads, D. Sharp, Ent. M. M. xi. p. 79. Between Tmesipliorus and 
Ctenistes', also allied to Centrotoma. T. complex, id. 1. c. p. 80,'Tan' 
giers. 
Lasinus, id. Tr. E. Soc. 1874, p. 106. Best placed near the N. Ameri- 
can Cedius, Ceophyllus, and Tmesiphorus, but with the maxillary palpi as 
in Bryaxis. L. spinosa, id. ibid., Japan. 
Gerallus, id. 1. c. p. 493. Allied to Tyrus and Tychus, but with the 
antennae more separated at the insertion, differing also from the former 
in the elongated maxillary palpi, and from the latter by the elongate inter- 
mediate trochanters, double unguiculi, and non-securiform last joint of 
maxillary palpi. G. nanus, id. 1. c. p. 494, W. Australia, and Tyrus palpalis, 
subulatus, and formosus, King. The genus also approacihes Bythinus and 
Bryaxis protervus. 
Sagola, id. 1. c. p. 506. Staphyliniform ; very close to Faronus, but 
with middle coxae separated by a mesosternal process. S. major, prisca, 
p. 507, misella, parva, p. 508, id. 1. c., New Zealand. 
Stipesa, id. L c. p. 108. Provisionally placed near Metopias, S. rudis, 
id. 1. c. p. 109, J apah. 
Tyraphus, id. 1. c. p. 489. Closely allied to Pselaphus, but with 4th 
joint of maxillary palpi short, stouter than the rest, and sub-triangular. 
T. planus, ibid., brevis and major, id. 1. c. p. 491, W. Australia. 
Durhos, id. 1. c. p. 495. Differs from Bryaxis in the elongate maxillary 
palpi and donble unguiculi, and from Gerallus by the less elongate maxil- 
lary palpi, less rostrate head, posteriorly placed eyes, &c. D. prisons, id. 
ibid., W. Australia. 
Morana, id. 1. c. p. 117. Provisionally placed between Bryaxis and 
Trichonyx ; resembles a compound of the fore-part of an Euplectus and 
the hind-part of a Bryaxis. M. disced ens, id. 1. c. p. 118, Nagasaki. 
Dalma, id. 1. c. p. 504. Intermediate botwoon Batrisus and Euplectus, 
thus merging the Pselaphini and Euplectini. D. puhcscens, id. 1. c. 
p. 505, New Zealand. 
Trogaster, id. Ent. M. M. xi. p. 83. Allied to Euplectus, but with 
peculiarly prominent anterior coxse : facies of Trichonyx. T. aberrans,
