438 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



In general appearance like a very small TyromorpJuis. The 

 elytral pubescence is extremely short ; but, in certain lights, 

 quite distinct ; the subsutural stria on each elytron is so ex- 

 tremely faint, that it might quite fairly be regarded as absent. 



Eupines innubis, n.sp. 



cf . Bright castaneous. Abdomen sparsely pubescent, else- 

 where almost or quite glabrous. 



Head rather small, with a small fovea close to each eye, 

 and with two feeble impressions in front. Antennae rather 

 long, fifth joint slightly inflated, ninth strongly transverse 

 but no longer than eighth ; tenth large, its apex produced on 

 one side ; eleventh considerably larger than tenth, briefly and 

 irregularly ovate. Prothoraa- moderately transverse, widest 

 close to apex, thence the sides coarctate to base. Elytra 

 slightly wider than long, sides increasing in width from base 

 almost to apex ; subsutural stria distinct, the (l(»rsal entirely 

 absent : with a few rather indistinct punctures. Mptasfernum 

 rather narrowly impressed along middle. Under-surface of 

 ahdomen feebly flattened along middle, apical segment very 

 shallowly impressed. Legs rather long and apparently un- 

 armed. Length, 1 mm. 



9 . Differs in having the head slightly smaller ; the tenth 

 joint of antennae much smaller, transverse, and of regular 

 shape ; the eleventh smaller, and inserted on middle of tenth ; 

 and the legs somewhat shorter. 



Hab. — New South Wales: Sydney (Macleay Museum). 



In general appearance, close to K . aurora, E. Jitoralis, E. 

 clavatula, E. capitata, and the pale form of E. polita, but 

 readily distinguished therefrom by the tenth joint of the 

 antennae of the male ; the tenth seems to be separated from 

 the eleventh by a short additional joint, so that it appears 

 to be really the ninth, but the supposititit)us joint is reallv a 

 small produced part of the tenth itself. The fifth joint, 

 although decidedly larger than the fourth or sixth, is not
