720 AUSTRALIAN AND TASMANIAX PSEf.APH I D/E, 



abdominal impression from some directions appears to We supplied 

 with a minute tubercle on each side of its apex. The legs of the 

 male appear to have no distinctive features, but I cannot examine 

 the trochanters of the type. 



EUPINES TUBERCULIFERA, n.Sp. 



(J. Bright reddish-castaneous, legs and tip of abdomen paler, 

 head much darker, fifth and ninth and tenth joints of antennse 

 lightly infuscated. Upper surface with distinct and rather long 

 pale hairs. 



Head with a shallow impression close to each eye, and a still 

 more shallow one on each side in front. Antennae with fifth 

 joint moderately inflated, ninth and tenth somewhat produced on 

 one side, eleventh ovate. Prothorax widest at about one-third 

 from apex. Elytra with sides rounded, but apex very little wider 

 tlian base, dorsal strise traceable only on basal slope. Metnsternum 

 distinctly impressed posteriorly. Abdomen with a conspicuous, 

 subconical, medio-apical tubercle on second segment. Front 

 trochanters each with a long acute spine. Length 1 mm. 



Hab. — New South Wales : Sydney(H, J. Carter). 



In other species the interocular impressions, when present, are 

 round and perfect, although often shallow; in the present species, 

 however, they open out towards the sides, so that from some 

 directions they appear to be semicircular, with the inner side of 

 each convex. The fifth joint of the antennae, altliough distinctly 

 inflated, is rather smaller than in other species having it large. 



Agrees fairly well with the original description of E. pnmiliOy 

 Imt Raffray notes that species as having the second ventral 

 segment with a fine longitudinal carinule extending beyond the 

 middle, and the forehead with transverse impressions. There ai'e 

 several of Schaufuss's species with the fifth joint inflated, about 

 which information as to the ventral characters is still required, 

 but Raffray has fortunately described such for most of the 

 former's species. 



EUPINES OBLONGIFERA, n.Sp. 



(J. Colours as in the preceding species. Upper surface with 

 sparse, straggling, pale hairs, becoming rather conspicuous on 

 abdomen.
