718 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, xiv., 



distinct, is feeble even at the base; but regarding it as belonging 

 to K, it would be associated with L incerius^ from which it 

 differs in the acutangular clypeus of the male, larger punctures 

 of pronotum, and glabrous hind-parts; if referred to KK, it 

 would be readily distinguished from L. vicarius by the clypeus. 

 Its front tarsi and clypeus are much as in L. phodyiicopterus, of 

 Group 1 (with which it would be associated in Macleay's system), 

 but which has very different clothing. On the male, the club 

 is slightly infuscated; on the female, it is no darker than the rest 

 of the antennae; on the female also, the whole of the abdomen 

 and legs are reddish; on the male, manv of the elytral punctures 

 are transversely confluent towards the sides, but, on the female, 

 this appearance is less evident. On both specimens, there are a 

 few hairs at the tip of the pygidium, but, except for these, the 

 hind parts are quite glabrous; both specimens are without a 

 membrane at the apex of the elytra. 



LiPARETRUS MIXTUS, n.Sp. 



(J. Black; elytra and appendages (parts of the legs deeply in- 

 fuscated) bright castaneous. Undersurface with long, pale hairs, 

 a fringe of similar (but darker) hair on each side of pronotum; 

 hind-parts with short, dense, erect set;e in addition to long hair. 



Head with rather small, crowded, and more or less transversely- 

 confluent punctures, becoming sparser, non-confluent, and slightly 

 larger on clypeus; clypeus with sides moderately elevated, 

 strongly decreasing and incurved to apex, apex rather strongly 

 but obtusely tridentate. Antenna? nine-jointed. Prothorax 

 with sides rounded and rather strongly produced towards base, 

 hind angles widely rounded off, front ones slightly produced 

 and somewhat acute, median line feeble; punctures small and 

 rather sparse, but more numerous towards sides and front angles. 

 Elytra with punctures of moderate size and not very numerous; 

 geminate-strite fairly well-defined. Uiiid-parts with dense sub- 

 asperate punctures of moderate size. Front tibicB strongly and 

 acutely tridentate; basal joint of hind tarsi slightly shorter than 

 second. Length, 6 mm. 



Hah. — New South Wales (unique).
