202 REVISION OF PTEROHEL.EUS (coiltd.) AND SARAGUS, ETC., 



the former row ; disc quite smooth and impunctate, with the 

 faintest suggestion of raised longitudinal lines (only visible 

 in strong light). Prosteriium rather flat and apparently quite 

 smooth, its apical process narrow, blunted and received into 

 a narrow triangular receptacle of the raesosternum ; basal 

 segments of abdomen faintly strigose, apical segments im- 

 punctate, femora smooth, anterior tarsi scabrous, with the 

 three basal joints unusually widened, in strong distinction to 

 the small fourth joint. 



$. Differs only in the slightly wider and less ohovate 

 elytra, and in the normal anterior tarsi. Dimensions: ^. 13 x 

 9 mm.; 5. 14x95 mm. 



TIdh. — Bell, South Queensland. 



Two specimens, taken by Mr. Horace Brown, and gener- 

 ously given to me ; also specimens in the National Museum, 

 Melbourne, differ from N. pprhi'vis (above) in colour especi- 

 ally of antennse and tarsi, in their shorter and more oval and 

 depressed shape, in the less recurved margins of pronotum, 

 the proportionally wider elytral margins, the subobsolete 

 costce on disc, &c. Types in author's Coll. 



From ,S'. htvis Macl., this species differs in its opaque 

 colour, smaller and more depressed form, its obovate elytra, 

 (those of ,S'. hd'is being evidently widest behind the base), 

 the much less thickened extreme border to pronotum and 

 elytra, the wider margins of elytra (especially at apex), the 

 colour of antennas and tarsi, and the strongly marked sexual 

 character of the latter. This last character is more marked 

 than in any Saragus I have examined. 



Saragus illateralis, n.sp. 



Widely oval, very convex, opaque black above, nitid 

 piceous-black beneath ; palpi, antennse, and legs piceous-red, 

 tarsi clad with pale golden hair. 



Head with labruni einarginate, epistoma semicirculai- and 

 a little concave in front, border slightly thickened and re- 

 flexed, sinuate in front of the canthus, the latter raised and
