three obscurely marked Jsevigate intervals, equally placed; other 

 intervals very minutely punctured; foliate margins as wide as 

 those of prothorax at base, very little narrowed till the middle^ 

 then rapidly narrowing to apex, extreme edge narrow and reflexed, 

 shoulders round, disc separated by a row of larger punctures. 

 Abdomen finely longitudinally strigose, apical segments closely 

 punctured, tibiae hairy, tarsi clothed below with red tomentura. 

 Dimensions 11x8 mm. 



Hah. — Eucla, South Australia. 



Two specimens, both ^, are before me; the type from Eucla was 

 kindly sent me by Mr. C. French, the other specimen is amongst 

 the specimens examined by me for the Melbourne Museum, and 

 is labelled "Overland Railway, South Australia." It is evidently 

 very close to >S'. Macleayi Blackb., and less closely allied to S. 

 hrimnipennis Macl., but distinguished from the former by its 

 greater size, and width and different sculpture. Mr. Blackburn 

 distinguishes his species from S. b?ninnipennis "in having it& 

 thorax more strongly sculptured and the interstices of its elytra 

 more or less convex," S. Frenchi has its prothorax much less 

 strongly sculptured than *S'. briinnipennis, while the interstices of 

 its elytra are not convex, though the loovij^ate intervals give that 

 appearance in certain aspects. It is easily distinguished from >S'. 

 hrunnipennis by its rounder shape, and less pronounced sculpture. 



Agasthenes EUCLENsis, n.sp. (Fig.2). 



Elongate-ovate, above and below jet black, subnitid, apical 

 joints of antennae and all tarsi piceous, the latter, together with 

 apex of tibiae, with brown tomentose clothing. 



Head subtrapezoidal; labrum strongly_^emarginate and rounded, 



showing membranous hinge; epistoma truncate and raised, with 



corners obtusely rounded; sides of head raised and rather straightly 



widened to the antennal orbits; forehead widely convex and 



separated from epistoma by a wide nonsulcate depression, closely 



and finely punctulate; antenna? slender, third joint longer than 



fourth and fifth combined, 4-7 obconic, 8-10 round and wider, 



eleventh elongate, flattened and ovoid. Prothorax transverse
