to above: the elytra) part is shaped somewhat as in some species 

 of Leptops. 



Type in Coll. Carter; two cotypes in S. Australian Museum. 



Mnionophilus costatus, n sp. 



Elun^ate-ovate, convex, reddish-brown, moderate] v nitid, 

 underside dull brown (the raised parts castaneous), legs, antennae, 

 and palpi castaneous, elytra, tibia', and antennae with short, 

 sparse, white hairs. 



Headless wide than in M. horridus, epistoma rounded, can thus 

 moderately raised, eyes large, surface pustulose, antennae with 

 joints 1-3 of equal length, but successively thinner, 4 subconic, 

 shorter than 3, 5-8 moniliform, 9 wider than 8 and oval, 10 

 strongly transverse and rounded, 1£ times as long as 9, 11 pear- 

 shaped, as wide as and longer than 10. Prothorax truncate at 

 base, widest near basal excision, trilohed at apex, middle lobe 

 overhanging head, with round excision at middle; exterior lobes 

 forming widely emarginate front angles; whole surface rather 

 closely pustulose, margin widely explanate, serrated externally 

 with about twelve irregular serrations; suddenly excised near 

 base, the excision showing a pustulose outline. Scutellum not 

 evident. Elytra elongate-obovate, of same width as prothorax 

 at base, thence very slightly widening till near apex; each elytron 

 with about three slightly raised, shining costa?, terminating in 

 small nodules near apex, suture also costate; between the costae 

 are two rows of large, square, foveate punctures, the intervals 

 forming a raised, shining network, tibiae uneven but scarcely 

 serrate on outer edge. Dimensions: 3 mm. long, 1 mm. wide. 



Hab. — Waratah, Tasmania. 



Two specimens, taken by Mr. Lea in moss, differ from M. 

 hurridus in the smoother derm, more elongate form, more par- 

 allel sides of prothorax, with distinct anterior angles to the last. 



Ty p e in Coll. Carter. 



E n h y p n o N, n. g. Bolitophaginarum. 



Sides of pronotum involute, tibiae strongly serrated on outside, 

 other characters as in Mnionophilus; body having the general 

 facies of Otiorrhyncus.
