Ohalcopterus interioris, sp.nov. 



Oblongus ; prsecedenti valde affinis sed multo minor et 



differt labro clypeo palpisque concoloribus, capite paullo 



minus prothorace paullo plus crebre punctulatis ; hoc postice 



quam antice parum plus dimidia parte latiori lateribus leviter 



sat sequaliter ai'cuatis, elytrorura interstitiis paullo plus 



ci'ebre punctulatis, corpore subtus nitidiori, subtiliter spar- 



sissime punctulato ; prosterno (ad latera), metasterno, et 



latera versus segmentis ventralibus (his longitudinaliter), 



for titer rugatis. [Long. 6f, lat. 3f lines (vix). 



The markings on the elytra of the single example before me of 



this species scarcely differ in any respect whatever from those of 



C. superhusy but the very different shape of the prothorax and 



very different sculpture of the undersurface show that the species 



ai'e quite distinct inter se. 



S. Australia, McDonnell Ranges ; a single example in the 

 collection of Mr. French (Victorian Colonial Entomologist). 



PEDILID.E. 



Anaplopus, gen.nov.. 



Capitis vertex prothoraci contiguus ; prothorax lateraliter 



hand marginatus ; tarsorum articulus penultimus haud 



bilobus ; unguiculi basin versus obtuse subobsolete dentati. 



The above characters will I think distinguish this genus from 



all previously described. Although the proximity of the head to 



the prothorax (the neck being visible only from beneath) would 



place it in M. Lacordaire's arrangement near Scraptia and Xylo- 



philus, it has much more the facies of Egestria. The mandibles 



are bifid at the apex. The palpi resemble those of Egestria 



except in the apical joint of the maxillary being securiform rather 



than cultriform. The labrum and clypeus resemble those of 



Egestria but are somewhat wider in front, the sides of the latter 



being more reflexed above the base of the antennae, which together 



with the presence of some obscure tubercles on the head, gives
