728 AUSTRALIAN AND TASMANIAN PSELAPHIDiE, 



between the liind coxte, abdomen witliout impression and tro- 

 chanters edentate. 



EUPINES TIBIALIS, n.Sp. 



(J. Colours and clothing as in the preceding species, except that 

 the club is darker. 



Head without visible interocular or frontal impressions. An- 

 tennae with second joint fairly large, tenth moderately large and 

 transverse, eleventh ovate. I'rotltorax and elytra as in the three 

 preceding species, except that the latter are rather more dilated 

 posteriorly. Metastermim largely impressed along middle, and 

 with an obtuse tubercle behind each hind coxa. Abdomen witli 

 a fairly large impression on second segment, the impression 

 dilated posteriorly, and at each side of its apex with an obtuse 

 tubercle; apical segment with a distinct but rather shallow 

 impression. Front trochanters obtusely dentate; front tibiae 

 somewhat inflated near apex, and thence suddenly lessened to 

 apex itself. Length IJinm. 



Hab. — New South Wales: WollongongfA. M. Lea). 



In general appearance very close to E. nigriclava, but antennas 

 with tenth joint larger; front tibise thickened near apex but not 

 obtusely dentate; and abdomen and metasternum somewhat 

 different. The tenth joint is almost as large as in the preceding 

 species. It is also very close to E. nigra, but front tibiae con- 

 siderably stouter, excavation of basal segment more pronounced, 

 with its marginal tubercles more conspicuous. In E. Melence the 

 sides of the elytra are somewhat rounded, but lines drawn from 

 the shoulders to the a[)ices would be parallel to each other; in 

 the three preceding species such lines would be somewhat diver- 

 gent, and in the present species still more noticeably so. 



EUPINES INKRMIS, n.sp. 



<J. Of a rather dark reddish-brown, upper surface of head and 

 of abdomen somewhat darker, legs and two apical joints of 

 antennae rather pale castaneous. Upper surface with very sparse, 

 straggling hairs.
