738 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



punctures denser and coarser than between eyes. Antennae 

 nine-, club three-jointed, rami almost the length of front 

 tibiae. Prothorax about twice as wide as long, sides evenly 

 rounded, apex and base gently bisinuate; front angles gently 

 rounded off, hind ones more strongly; with rather sparse punc- 

 tures, much as on head between eyes. Elytra feebly dilated to 

 beyond the middle, with rows of fairly large punctures in feeble 

 striae, or the striae deep and their punctures small, even inter- 

 stices wider than the others, and with fairly numerous punc- 

 tures, the odd interstices with smaller and sparser punctures. 

 Pygidium with rather sparse punctures, but denser in angles. 

 Front tibiae tridentate, the two first teeth large and fairly close 

 together, the third small, but acute, and slightly nearer the base 

 than the second; basal joint of hind tarsi slightly longer than 

 the second. Length. 12.5 — 13 mm. 



Hob. — Queensland: Coen River (H. Hacker), 

 Much larger and wider than E. spectans, and with the third 

 tooth of the front tibiae more distant from the second than in 

 that species; from E. flavus it also differs in being considerably 

 larger and darker, clypeus longer, etc. ; the mentum more nearly 

 approaches that of spectans than that of flavus. 



Telura suturalis, n.sp. 



Flavous, suture infuscated almost to apex. Upper surface 

 glabrous except for two hairs on each side of clypeal suture 

 and a few at sides of prothorax and of elytra; three segments 

 of abdomen each with a transverse row of long stiff hairs, a 

 few similar hairs on metasternum and legs. 



Head rather convex and with sparse and minute punctures, 

 becoming larger and denser at sides and in front. Clypeus 

 more than thrice as wide as long, margins moderately upturned, 

 front very gently incurved to middle (almost straight) ; punc- 

 tures larger and denser than elsewhere on head. Antennae nine-, 

 club three- jointed, rami slightly longer than inner apical spur 

 of front tibiae. Prothorax not twice as wide as long, sides 

 evenly rounded, front angles produced and acute, hind ones 

 rounded off but almost rectangular; punctures sparser and 

 slightly smaller than on clypeus. Apex of scutellum impunc- 

 tate. Elytra long, thin and almost parallel-sided ; striae well- 

 defined, but becoming faint posteriorly, punctures irregularly 

 placed in them, and often partly on interstices, the latter with
