Amycterides. 
W. MacLeay has commenced a revision of the genera and 
speeies of the Australian subfamily Amycterides (Trans. Ent. 
Soc. N. S. V\^. vol. i. pp. 199-.298). This paper is devoted en- 
tirely to that section of the group denominated Amycterides 
vrais by Lacordaire, in which the scape of the antennae passes 
the eyes ; the Euomides of Lacordaire being probably reserved 
for a future communication. Lacordaire recognizes four genera 
of this group, to which MacLeay adds three new ones in the 
present paper. The distinctive characters of the whole arc 
given in the following table (p. 200) : — 
1. Eostrum not cristate. 
Eostrum with a transverse, sinuous impression at the base; male with 
anal forceps Psalidura, MacL. 
Eostrum excavated, with two oblique ridges in the middle ; anus of male 
excavated Talaurinus, g. n.
