definitely ohannelleil pninotum, distinguish this species from all its congeners. 

 The South Australian Museum examples were erroneously labelled L. xitida. 



Var. with femora red (in Coll. Elston). 



Type in Coll. Carter. 



LiCINOMA TRUNCATA, H.Sp. 



SubcylLndric, dark bronze, nitid; iinderside and legs castaneous, tarsi pale 

 red, antennae opaque Reddish brown. Head and pronotum rather closely but 

 unevenly pitted with coarse punctures; epistomal suture straight and deeply im- 

 pressed; antennae moniliform, 3rd joint a little longer than 4th, last joint much 

 larger than 10th. Protliorax rather convex in the middle, in front; apes and 

 base truncate (as seen from above), slightly longer than wide, clearly wider at 

 apex than at base; sides moderately arched, with greatest width before the 

 middle; margins irregular in outline (scarcely crenate), posterior angles obtuse 

 and blunt, medial line rather widely but interruptedly impressed; some irregular 

 foveate impressions on each side. Scutellum very small. Elytra convex, of about 

 the same width as the prothorax, humeri not produced (as seen from above) ; 

 crenate-sulcate, the punctures in sulci close and forming crenulations at the sides of 

 intervals; these slightly flattened on centre and finely punctured, the 3rd and 5th 

 showing setae (four on the 3rd and one on 5th). Prosternum and epipleurae 

 coarsely punctate, the last segment of abdomen finely punctate, the rest smooth; 

 post tarsi with first joint shorter than the claw joint: hind intercoxal process 

 narrow and subtruncate. Dimeusions : 10 x 4 min. 



Hab. — Victoria (Blackburn Coll. and DuBoulay). 



Two specimens are in the South Australian Museum, of which one — wanting 

 the abdomen — bears Blackburn's No. 4473 and the name "ambigua Bates" in his 

 handwriting (besides Victoria) — a manifestly incorrect identification. The other, 

 the type, is labelled ''Victoria Du Boulay Aug. /89". This pu/!zling specie.s is 

 very like Daedrofilfi. hut is without the toothed humeri; the prothorrx has the sides 

 entire, and rounded.
