 rounded, sides parallel for the greater j)art ; striate-suleate, the intervals sharply 

 laised and suberenulate, the punetures in sulci large and apparently only i^artly 

 separated by cancellate ridge; the 3rd, 5th, and 7th intervals containing seta';: 

 underside with sparsely scattered setiferous punctures, these more close on the last 

 abdominal segment, each bearing longish white hairs. Posterior tarsi with first

Hub. — Parkerville. AA'estern Australia. (.T. Clark.) 



Three specimens (2 c?, 1 2) sent by Mr. Lea from the South Australian 

 Museum, ai"e the only ones of the genus yet recorded from Western Australia. 

 It is nearest, though not very near, to L. masters! Macl., haraig much more finely 

 uunctured jirothorax. subcancellate elytra, and f|uite different antennae.

Daedrosis axtexxalis, n.s[>. 



Subcylindric. dark bronze, nitid : undei'side and let;-s nitid black, palpi and 

 tarsi red; antennae opaque brown (basal joints bronze). Head sparsely and 

 coarsely inmctate, epistomal suture straight ; forehead rather flat, antennae monili- 

 form, 3rd joint slightly longer than 4th, 7th-10th very gradually increasing in .size, 

 llth ovate-acuminate, as long as the preceding three joints combined. Prothorax 

 iecbly emarginate in front, convex in the middle, anterior angles bluntly obtuse; 

 slightly wider at apex than at base, sides lightly rounded, a little irregular in out- 

 line (suberenate), posterior angles obtuse; disc evenly, finely and closely punctate, 

 without any sign of medial line, an elongate fovea on basal margin near each hind 

 angle. Scutellum very small. Eli/tm wider than ]irothorax at base and more 

 than twice as lonj.', humeri produced as usual, sides very lightly widened l;ehind 

 middle; striate-punctate, the striae deep, the punctures therein smaller and less 

 evident than in crenato-striata Bates, the intervals flatter and more nitid — the 

 3rd and 5th slightly wider than the rest, but all sharjily convex at ajiex. Pros- 

 ternum sparsely, its epimera and the elytral epiiileurae coarsely punctate; ab- 

 diimen smooth; iiost tarsi witli 1st joint slinrter than claw joint. Dimfiisioits: 

 8—10 X 3—33 mm.

Five exami>les. of which one has been sent to the British Museum, belong 

 to a species I have long had in my cabinet as D. mariticola Blackb. The true 

 monticola, howeve;, turns out to be a Liclnoma, and is the species I described as 

 L. pwicto-latera. wliich nuist now be known as L. moiilirola Blackb.. leaving my 

 species without a name tUl now. D. aiiterinalif: is clearly separated from I), 

 crenato-striata Bates (^ amhigua Bates) by the following differences: (1) apical 

 joint of antennae very large (in Bate.s's species this joint is about as long as the 

 twn preceding) ; (2) Prothorax mucli more finely pun<-tate, the sides more i-ouiided 

 iind sub-entire, its hind angles obtuse; (3) Elytral intervals flatter and sniootlier. 

 1 have not been able to find any external sexual characters.
