BY ARTHUR M. LEA. 721 



Head with four shallow impressions. Antennae with fifth joint 

 inflated and produced on one side of apex, ninth about as long as 

 wide, tenth rather strongly transverse, eleventh ovate. Prothorax. 

 widest at about apical third, and rather more strongly narrowed 

 to base than usual. Elytra comparatively large, apex distinctly 

 wider than base; dorsal stride traceable at extreme base only. 

 Metasternum rather strongly impi-essed along middle. Abdomen 

 with an oblong tubercle on second segment, the tubercle sur- 

 rounded by a narrow impression. Front trochanters feebly and 

 obtusely dentate. Length limm. 



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



In general appearance close to E. quintana, but abdominal 

 tubercle completely isolated by a narrow impression (somewhat 

 us on the prothorax of Bothrideres Mastersi), although from some 

 flirections it is not very distinct. The front trochanters are also 

 not acutely dentate, the fiifth joint is smaller, and the metasternal 

 impression is shallower and more dilated posteriorly. Tlie only 

 male before me was sent mounted on the same card with two- 

 males of the preceding species, and in fact it bears a quite extra- 

 ordinary resemblance to it, but the very different second segment 

 of abdomen, and front trochanters, readily distinguish the two 

 species. A female n)ounted and sent on the same card may 

 belong to either species; its abdomen and trochanters are simple^ 

 and the fifth joint of antennae is not inflated.

(J. Bright reddish-castaneous, legs and eleventh joint of antennae- 

 paler, rest of antennae, except basal joints, darker. Upper surface 

 with very sparse, and rather short, pale hairs. 



Head scarcely visibly impressed close to each eye, and impres- 

 sions behind antennae very faint. Antennae rather long, first to 

 seventh joints each longer than wide, eighth small, about as long 

 as wide, ninth moderately, tenth strongly transverse, eleventh 

 briefly ovate. Prothorax comparatively short, widest at about 

 two-fifths from apex. Elytra moderately dilated posteriorly, 

 dorsal striae traceable only at and about base. Metasternum.
