genotype and D. antenuulis, easily distiugiiisbed. Macroperas has the pronounce! 

 toothed humeri as in Daedrosis, together with the unusual development of the api- 

 cal antennal joint; but I do not think these genera should be merged. Leptogas- 

 irus, Licinoma and Brt/eopia are now tabulated below.

LEPTOG.i.STRU.S CY.^NKU.S, n . Sp . 



Narrowly elongate-uvate, body pedunculate, upper surface nitid dark blue, 

 thinly clad with dark upright hair; antennae, oral organs, legs, underside, lateral 

 margins of pronotum and humeral region eastaneous. Head and pronotum 

 rugose-punctate, the punctures coarse and sub-confluent, the ridges with 

 a longitudinal tendency. Head rather flat on vertex, epistomal suture 

 straight, eyes large and transverse, antennae moniliform, elongate and 

 very robust. 3rd joint clearly longer than the 4th; from 4th to 10th 

 increasing in size, 7th-10th spherical, 11th twice as long as 10th, widely ovate. 

 Prothurax sub-cordate, considerably wider at apex than at base, anterior angles 

 forming a sharp triangular tooth pointing a little outwards ; sides with a slightly 

 uneven outline (scarcely crenate), with a small sinuation before the hind angles 

 and a wider one at anterior; the posterior angles finely dentate, the point directed 

 outwards; extreme lateral border sharp, narrowly horizontal within, the latter 

 with a row of large impressed punctures. Eh/tra sub-cylindric, shoulders widely 

 rounded, sides parallel, apex rather bluntly rounded ; punctate-suleate. the sulci 

 deep, closely placeil and lined with densely packed, rather large punctures, the 

 intervals sharp, except the sutural — this wide and smooth— with three or four 

 large setae, etiually spaced. Flanks of ))rosterniun coarsely punctate, abdomen 

 wanting, legs long, posterior tarsi having claw joint as long as the rest combined. 

 Dimensions : 7 ^ 2i mm. 



Hah. — Queensland. (Blackburn collection.) 



A single specimen (the type) in the South Australian Museum, is clearly dis- 

 tinguished from its congeners by colour, besides the sharply angulate prothorax 

 and subcylindric elytra. 



LePTOGASTRUS OrCTDKNTALIS, n.sp. 



Elongate, sub-pedunculate, head and pronotum dark, elytra violet bronze, 

 snteiuiae, palpi, tibiae and tarsi red, upper surface moderately clothed with long 

 upright hair. Head finely and evenly punctate, part between forehead and epis- 

 loma depressed, antennal ridge prominent ; antennae long, the joints obconic and 

 gradually widening outwards, apical joint less enlarged than usual. Prothorax 

 subcordate, subtnnii ate at apex and base, sides arcuately widening from the base, 

 the gi'eatest width in front of middle, all angles obtuse, the posterior widely so, 

 surface finely punctate, with some larger setiferous punctures irregularly placed, 

 the medial sulcus distinct and terminated behind in a wide depression. F.hitra
