lines, head not reflected in front, &c. From .S'. simplex Hope, 

 {=S. asidoides Pasc), it diflers even more markedly in shape, 

 and the even surface of its elytra. 



My specimens of S. Iccvis Macl., compared with type, were 

 taken at Birchip, Victoria, by Mr. J. C. Goudie. Macleay's 

 habitat is "interior of New South Wales." 



Saragus latipes, n.sp. 



Ovate, depressed, subopaque black above, margins of pro- 

 notum and elytra reddish, nitid black beneath; oral ortfans, 

 antennae, and upper surface of tarsi black, the last clothed 

 beneath with red tomentum. 



^. Head, with labrum strongly emarginate, epistoma 

 truncate in front, angles rounded, their border reflexed at 

 sides, limited behind by oblique raised lines ; forehead rather 

 flat, antennae slender, not extending to base of prothorax, 

 third joint little longer than fourth, joints 8-11 much 

 widened, ninth and tenth rounded, eleventh ovoid. Prothorax 

 (4 X 8-5 mm.), length measured in middle, width at base, 

 disc is to combined margins as 5 to 8-5 ; apex semicircularly 

 emarginate, anterior angles rounded but very prominent, 

 sides evenly rounded to the strongly produced acute pos- 

 terior angles, and not, or scarcely, incurved in this region, 

 foliate margins wide, nearly flat, without separating sulcus, 

 extreme border thickened and raised on sides, becoming 

 narrow at apex and obsolete at base, the latter strongly 

 sinuate : disc, like the head, quite impunctate, without any 

 indication of a central line, with two faint foveae near base. 

 SruteUuni transversely triangular. Eh/tra slightly wider 

 than prothorax at base, obovate, humeri defined and obtuse, 

 sides gradually narrowing from base towards apex, foliate 

 margins wide, also narrowing (but still wide) at apex, ex- 

 treme border very thin and reflexed, lateral row of punctures 

 large and close anteriorly, smaller, more distant, posteriorly 

 obsolete at apex ; placed in a distinct sulcus, with a faintly 

 impressed short row of small punctures close to and above
