406 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN ENTOMOLOGY, XVI. 



This remarkable species represents a separate section of the 

 genus Adelotopus. The setigerous puncture on each side of the 

 clypeus is -placed on the upper surface, not under the anterior 

 margin of the head, as in other species; and there is on each side 

 of the fi'ont, at a considerable distance from the middle of the 

 inner margin of the eye, a setigerous puncture, more conspicuous 

 than the other scattered punctures of the head. This is the only 

 case of an Adelotopus with intraorbital setae, known to me. The 

 pronotum bears minute scattered punctures on its surface, and 

 is without the more or less explanate lateral margins found in 

 other species of the genus. The punctures of the elytral series 

 are separately impressed in the derm at a little distance from 

 one another in the rows; the narrow marginal border, not 

 hiding the inflexed margins near the shoulders and traceable to 

 the sutural angle, is a character found in no other species. Mr. 

 J. C. Goudie found one specimen, which he generously presented 

 to me.
