AMBLISPA AUSTEALIS, n. sp. 



Black, moderately shining, glabrous ; joints of antennae closely 

 set, intermediate ones of nearly equal length, the four ultimate ones 

 a little wider ; thorax narrowed and rounded from base to apex, 

 convex and covered with large but not deep irregular punctures 

 closely set ; elytra not broader than the base of the prothorax, con- 

 vex and covered with regular series of deep punctures separated by 

 narrow, smooth intervals. 



The facies of this species is very similar to that of A. Icevigata, 

 Guer., but the latter is dark blue instead of black, and the seriated 

 punctures are much finer and shallower. Length 5^ mm. ; width 

 2f mm.
