BryCOPIA (30MATA, 11. sp. 



Oval, black nitid, strongly pilose, antennae and tarsi red. Head and pro- 

 notum densely rugose, punctate and clothed with long upright hairs; eyes large and 

 prominent, antennae unusually long and slender, 3rd .ioint cylindrie, nearly as 

 long as 4tb-5tli combined, 4th-10th oval, 8tli-10th increasing in size, 11th elongate- 

 oval, twice a.s long as 10th. Prothorax truncate at base and apex, sides crenulate, 

 angulately widened and widest at middle, thence obliquely narrowed each way, 

 base and apex of about same width, all angles oljtuse (anterior wider than pos- 

 terior), disc without medial line or basal foveae. Scutelhini triangular. Eli/trit 

 wider than prothorax at base, and two and a-half times as long; punctate-striate, 

 the striae wide, the punctures therein coarse, crenulating the sides of interstices; 

 these convex, cross-wrinkled, each bearing a row of setae; underside strongly 

 punctate. Leg-s hairy like the body. Dimensions: G X 3 (vix) mm. 



Hah. — Murray River, South Australia (A. H. Elston). 



A single specimen, sex uncertain, was generously given me by Mr. Elston, 

 and shows a species distinct from all others by the combination of black colour, 

 verv hairy surface and legs, and subaiigulate-sidcd thorax .

 Elytra ovate, two and a-half times longer than iirothorax and at the shoulders 

 slightly wider than it; humeri obliquely rounded; striate-punctate, the inlervals 

 flatfish, but more convex at sides and apex. 3rd and ijth intervals wider than the 

 rest, intervals unequally setose, the sutural interval smooth. 2nd with about two 

 setae, 3rd and .'5th with 6-8 setae, 4tli nearly smooth ; sides of prosternum ami epi-
