HYDEOPHILID^. 



Hydrobaticus clypeatus, sp.nov. 



Ovalis ; miniis convexus ; vix nitidus (clypeo excepto) ; 

 piceo-brunneus, hie illic rufescens et nigro-umbratus ; crebre 

 sat fortiter duplo-punctatns, clypeo nitido sparsissime sub- 

 tilissime punctulato excepto ; prothorace antice qnam postice 

 sat evidenter angustiori ; elytris striato-punctulatis. 



[Long. 3, lat. If lines. 



In all probability this species varies in markings and colour as 

 much as H. australis, Blackb., does. It scarcely differs from that 

 species except in being larger, with the striation of the elytra 

 considerably more marked, and especially in the clypeus being 

 (not as in australis punctured uniformly with the rest of the head 

 but) thinly and very finely punctured in conspicuous contrast to 

 the rest of the head, which is almost coarsely puuctulate. I pre- 

 sume that this character will also sepai-ate it from H. tristis, 

 Macl., and luridus, Macl., as both those species are said to be 

 " coarsely punctured " without any part being excepted.
