HORN EXPEDITION—COLEOPTERA. 
CIIROSTUS. 
A single example (from Alice Springs) pertaining to this genus does not 
appear to agi’ee well with the brief description of the single-named species 
(C. quadrifflveolatiis^ C.and.), which is from Central Australia, but I do not deem it 
desirable to give the present insect a new name without having an opportunity of 
comparing it with the type. 
RHIPICERTD^.. 
RIIIPICERA. 
A single female example of this genus was taken at Storm Creek. It does not 
appear to be conspecific with any Rhipicera in my collection, but it would not be 
desirable to found a new species on an insect of this genus without being able to 
describe the male, and T cannot identify it with any of the described species that 
are not represented in my collection. 
DASCILLIDtE. 
NOTIOCYPHON (gen. nov. Dascyllidarnm). 
Sclerocypho?ti affinis ; ditlert antennis multo magis gracilibus et aliter formatis 
(sc. articulis basalibus 2 crassis brevibus, 3-6 filiformibus .sat elongatis, 7-11 subdi- 
latatis laxe conjunctis clavam debilem simulantibus) ; prosterno inter coxas lato 
postice angulato; tibiis ad apicem vix spinosis ; tarsis sat Ijrevibus ; unguiculis 
simplicibus. 
This genus appears to be certainly allied, like Sclerocypho7i, to Artematopus ; it 
is (as M. Lacordaire characterises Artematopus) a Dascyllid with the sterna of a 
Buprestid. The very different antenme, the much more widely-separated front 
coxie, and the simple claws forbid its being placed in Sclerocyphoti. The claws of 
the latter are distinctly though not strongly toothed, their inner outline being 
angularly dilated a little distance from the base. In the present insect the apical 
joint of the maxillary palpi is elongate and much dilated. 
N'. C 07 ivexns, sp. nov. (17). Ovalis; convexus; pubescens; sat nitidus; 
piceus, pedibus abdornineque plus minusve rufescentibus ; capite prothoraceque sat 
subtiliter sat crebre punctulatis, hoc transver.so, basi sat fortitei- 5-sinuata ; elytris 
obsolete (vix perspicue) costatis, grosse sat crebre punctulatis, interstitiis subtiliter 
punctulatis. Long. 1| 1. Lat 1 1. (vix).
