between antennae, medio-basal fovea of prothorax considerably 

 larger, and elytral fovese somewhat differently placed. 



The three apical joints of the antennae are certainly wider than 

 the others, but the difference is so trifling that the antennae could 

 fairly be regarded as being without a club. The middle tibiae 

 are separated by a very narrow keel. The only female before me 

 is probably immatui-e, as it is almost entirely flavous. 



LiMONIATES QUADRATIPENNIS, n.sp. 



(J. Reddish-castaneous, abdomen (except margins and tip) 

 somewhat darker, appendages paler. Clothed with rather short, 

 pale pubescence, fairly dense but sparser on prothorax than 

 elsewhere. 



Head distinctly notched in middle of base; with a round fovea 

 near each eye, closed posteriorly but open in front. Antennae 

 short and stout, second joint subglobular, third to ninth distinctly 

 transverse, tenth larger and widely transverse, eleventh large 

 and briefly ovate. Prothorax distinctly wider than head, widest 

 slightl)' in front of middle; with a strong subbasal impression, 

 somewhat dilated in middle, and on each side expanded into a 

 large and somewhat irregular fovea; a small impression on each 

 side of middle at extreme base; median line very faint. Elytra 

 about as long as wide, sides very feebly rounded, angles feebly 

 rounded; with eight minute basal foveae; dorsal striae traceable 

 only on basal third; with numerous punctures. Metasternwn 

 deeply notched at apex. Abdomen gently flattened about middle, 

 near base, on under surface. Legs moderatel}^ stout. Length 

 11 mm. 



Hah. — Tasmania: Hobart, New Norfolk; three specimens from 

 moss(A. M. Lea). 



Much larger than L. australis, club stouter, and prothoracic 

 impressions rather more distinct. 



On one of the specimens the head is slightly darker than the 

 prothorax. The antennae, at a glance, appear to have the club 

 one-jointed, although the tenth is almost as wide as the eleventh.
