730 NEW SPECIES OP AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, xii., 



clothing; suhlateral sulci narrow; scrolies deep only in front, 

 directed towards middle of eyes. Antennae comparatively long 

 and thin. Prothorax almost as Ion" as wide, sides evenly 

 rounded; with numerous small tubercular elevations, and with 

 a small medio-frontal impression. tScutelhim absent. Elytra 

 strongly convex, elliptic-ovate, across base no wider than pro- 

 thorax, l)ut almost twice as wide across middle, with rows of 

 large, partially concealed punctures; third interstice with an 

 obtuse tubercle at summit of apical slope, and a still more obtuse 

 one near base, fifth with two obtuse ones slightly closer together 

 than those on third. Legs moderately long but rather stout- 

 tibiae feebly denticulate. Length, 7-8 mm. 



Hab. —Queensland : Brisbane (H. W. Cox). 



The absence of a scutellum associates this species with L. 

 tetrajjhysodes, but the tubercles are differently placed; on that 

 species, the four nearer the suture are placed, as it were, at the 

 corners of a square; on the present species, the two iieai*er the 

 base are fully twice as distant as those from summit of the 

 apical slope, as the two on the third interstice on the left elytron 

 are to their fellows on the right; the punctures and clothing are 

 also different On the elytra, the sette are fairly dense on the 

 suture and elevated parts, but rather sparse elsewhere; on the 

 prothorax, they are fairly numerous, and, on the front margin, 

 are condensed into two feeble fascicles. 



Onesokus hoplocnemus, n.sp. 



Black, appendages in parts obscurely diluted with red. 

 Moderately densely clothed with greyish-white scales. 



Head wide and gently convex between eyes, these vei-y pro- 

 minent, llostrum short, wide, and rather flat, median carina 

 very feeble; sublateral sulci apparently absent. Scape about as 

 long as four following joints combined; first joint of funicle 

 slightly shorter than second, the four apical ones subglobular. 

 Prothorax almost twice as wide as the median length; with 

 large, irregular punctures, and subreticulate elevations. Scu- 

 tellum small. Elytra rather briefly ovate, sides strongly rounded; 

 with rows of large, deep punctures, close together, but partially
