726 AUSTRALIAN AND TASMANIAN PSELAPHID^, 



Head with interocular impressions very minute and frontal 

 ones very faint. Antennae with second joint fairly large, tenth 

 transverse, and not lialf the length of eleventh, which is ovate. 

 Prothorax and elytra much as in the preceding species, except 

 that the latter are rather more dilated posteriorly. Metasternum 

 widely and rather shallowly impressed. Abdomen \v\i\\ two small 

 tubercles close together near apex of second segment; apical seg- 

 ment with a round, shallow fovea. Front tihice rather strongly 

 inflated to beyond the middle, the inflation ending in a strong 

 subtriangular tooth, thence emarginate to apex. Length 1 mm. 

 (vix). 



9. Differs in having the club slightly smaller, metasternum 

 convex, abdomen without tubercles or fovess, and front tibiae 

 simple. 



Hab. — Tasmania : Frankford(A. M. Lea). 



In general appearance very close to the preceding species, but 

 the tenth joint of male very ranch smaller than eleventh; and the 

 front tibiae armed; the latter character will also distinguish it 

 from E. nigra. I have not been able to see clearly the front 

 trochanters of the only male before me. 



EUPINES MODICA, n.sp. 



(J. Dark reddish-brown, or piceous-brown, elytra not much 

 paler, legs and eleventh joint of antennae still paler, but not very 

 pale. Elytra scarcely visibly pubescent, the abdomen with very 

 minute, but rather more noticeable clothing. 



Head with interocular and frontal impressions absent or ex- 

 tremely faint. Antennae with second joint scarcely longer than, 

 wide, third to ninth short, tenth rather strongly transverse, 

 eleventh briefly ovate. Prothorax and elytra as in the preceding 

 species. Metasternum semicircularly impressed beyond the middle. 

 Abdomen with two very minute granules or fascicles near apex of 

 second segment, between which a very faint impression can be- 

 seen from some directions. Trochanters apparently unarmed.. 

 Length 1-1 J; mm.
