188 REVISION OF PTEROHEI..KUS (collld.) AND SARAGUS, ETC., 



1x8 mm., length measured in middle; very similar to the 

 preceding, bvit ante4'ior angles less, and sides more widely 

 rounded, central line scarcely indicated, and with the head 

 showing no signs of true punctures. Margins wider and more 

 horizontal, extreme border thinner, minutely serrate at base. 

 EJi/trft convex, of same width as prothorax at base, shoul- 

 ders less widely rounded, margins slightly wider and more 

 concave for the greater part, more narrowed at the apex. 

 The whole entirely impunctate except for a faint extra-scvi- 

 tellary line of small punctures, the marginal row of large 

 punctures (much smaller than in I', suhimnrtdfus) and a few 

 interrupted lines of scarcely evident punctures on the sides. 

 The places usually occupied by lines of punctures faintly in- 

 dicated by indistinct and indefinite striae. Ahdoiiini longi- 

 tudinally and rather strongly strigose, with the two apical 

 segments finely and closely punctured. Prostcrnum rugose. 

 [Medial and hind legs wanting.] JJi/Nciisioits, 15-5 x 9 mm. 



Hah. — Yalgoo, West Australia. 



A single specimen (2), sent by Mr. C. French, presents 

 many featiires in common with the preceding species, 1'. siib- 

 ■puncfafiis, and may possibly prove to be the female of that 

 species. Its almost impunctate upper surface is, however, 

 in strong contrast to the definite, but obscured sculpture of 

 that species with which I have compared it above. Type in 

 the author's Coll. 



Var. A. — A second specim.en (i^) dififbi's in having more 

 definite series, as well as some irregular })unctures, on basal 

 half of elytra, the apical half being quite impunctate. 



I'iNCAKA CA.MKl.l-S, ll.,Sp,

 covered with a fine, waxy, whitish, bloom (when fresh). 



Head: epistoma truncate, sides obliquely rounded, wid- 

 ened and strongly raised at canthus, narrowing at the eyes
