606 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



mealy substance, almost entirely concealing the granules and 

 punctures; if placed in spirits for a short period this substance 

 turns to a dirty yellow colour, and is almost confined to the 

 punctures; Avith prolonged immersion it disappears entirely. A 

 pair taken in cop. had this substance entirely pale ochreous, but 

 pink is the usual colour. The tibise are densely clothed with 

 white decumbent setse, and are entirely without the numerous 

 small teeth so common in the subfamily; others of the larger 

 species, however, ai'e without or have extremely small teeth.
