ceous; on a second specimen the elytral spots are very vaguely 

 indicated, and the tarsi are no paler than the tibiae. The 

 punctures on the upper surface are very dense and small, but 

 well-defined; they are slightly denser in the pronotal depres- 

 sions and somewhat smaller towards apex than elsewhere. In 

 some lights there appear to be vague remnants of elytral 

 striation. 



Trichosalpim;us laticollis, n.sp. 



Of a dingy pieeous-brown, leg's paler, tarsi almost flavous. 

 Clothed with very short, ashen pubescence. 



Head wide and rather flat, without distinct longitudinal im- 

 pressions. Eyes large and lateral. Antennae scarcely passing 

 scutellum, second joint stouter than third and very little shorter. 

 Prothorax distinctly wider than long, sides gently rounded and 

 increasing in width from base to near apex, with a shallow 

 oblique depression on each side of base. Elytra much wider 

 than prothorax, sides distinctly dilated from base to beyond the 

 middle, and then widely rounded. Length, 3£-3f mm. 



Hab— New South Wales: National Park (A. M. Lea). 



Wider than T. brunneus, prothorax notably more transverse, 

 and with impressions much reduced in size and depth. On the 

 type, in addition to the basal depressions, there is a feeble de- 

 pression on each side; on a second specimen there are no traces 

 of these, but there is a vague sublatero-apical depression on each 

 side of the disc. The punctures on the upper surface are dense, 

 line and rather sharply denned, but they become shallower and 

 smaller towards apex of elytra. 



TrICHOSALPINGUS NIGER, n.Sp. 



Black, parts of leg's and of palpi obscurely paler. Closely 

 covered with very short whitish pubescence. 



Head lightly convex, clypeal suture semicircular. Eyes 

 large, lateral and prominent. Antennae slightly passing base 

 of prothorax, second joint stouter and slightly shorter than 

 third, eleventh almost as long as first. Prothorax slightly 

 longer than wide, sides feebly increasing in width from base 

 to near apex, and then decreasing to apex, which is a trifle 

 wider than base ; each side with a conspicuous, semicircular im- 

 pression. Elytra much wider than prothorax at base, sides
