192 REVISION OF PTEROHEL^US (coiltd.) AND SARAGUS, ETC., 



carinate, and with metasternum minutely and closely punc- 

 tate, legs without tomentum, femora punctate, tibiae rough. 

 [Abdomen wanting.] J)')iii(iiiio)}s, 11 x 8 mm. 



Hah. — Shark Bay, West Australia. 



A single specimen, sent by Mr. C. French, without abdo- 

 men but otherwise perfect, is under examination. It is thus 

 impossible to determine the sex. It is quite distinct from the 

 thirteen species tabulated in my revision of the genus (These 

 Proceedings, 1910, p. 88), and is the smallest yet described. 

 In form, it is nearest to -S'. frsfur/i/ii^ns Hope, while in colour 

 it is most like S. hirofor Carter. The dentate sides of the 

 epistoma present the appearance of a rectangular excision 

 from the anterior corners, and are even more strongly 

 marked than in S. r.rrislfroiis Carter. The dark colour of the 

 disc is extended around the apical, basal, and lateral mar- 

 gins of the pronotum. 



HRL.EUS HaMLYNI, U.sp. 



Oblong, subparallel, opaque, rusty-brown, densely clothed above 

 and below with .squamose derm, tarsi hikI l)asal joints of antennfe 

 reddisb. 



Head: epistoma rounded in front, labi-nm produced, foi-ehead 

 depressed, eyes oblicpie and o\al, sepai'ated by a space less than 

 the minor axis of one eye; anteiuii^ shorter than prothorax, third 

 joint as long as fourth and fifth together, 4-7 increasing in widtli, 

 8-11 mucli wider and rounded, eleventh globular. Prothorax b x 

 8 mm., widest at base, thence regulai'lv i'(iuiule(l to apex, anterior 

 processes pointed and o\erlapping, not furrowed in iniddl(>, poste- 

 rior angle acute (about 80°) very little producefl; base with central 

 lobe produced backwards, foliaceous sides wide, slightlv deflected 

 posteriorly, finely serrated on hind margin, lateral margin unde- 

 fined. Disc very convex, evenly carinate in a single curve, the 

 carina extending to apex but not to base. Eh/fra 9x8 mm., of 

 same width at base as pi'othorax, shouldei's obtuse and sulxlentate, 

 sides parallel till near apex, border iri'egularlv crenulate, expla-
