724 NEW SPKCIES OF AUSTKALIAX CoLEOPTERA, xiv., 



is like tliat of Cryptodus, and utterly different from that of any 

 otiier Australian genus of Dynastides: the projection in front 

 of the prosternuni, and the triangularly dilated liasal. joint of the 

 antennae are also as in Cryptodas\ the four hind-tihiie are digitate 

 instead of truncate at apex, and are certainly not fringed with 

 setse (as on normal Dynastid'is), but, at the base uf each notch, 

 there is a seta; smaller and less distinct setie, however, are pre 

 sent on several other species of Cryptodus (e.g., C. tasmaaiamis)^ 

 although they need to be closely looked for. The base of the 

 mentum is less deeply notched than is usual in those having it 

 notched, in this respect agreeing with 6'. gly(f'S: in C. tasmanianus, 

 it is truncate: and, in C. carioeps and C. grosslpes, it has a long 

 and almost vertical process ; the apex of the basal joint of 

 antennae is less conspicuously produced over the following joints 

 than is usual in the genus, but, from some directions, it entirely 

 conceals the two following joints. The elytra, at first glance, 

 appear to be glabrous, but, on close examination, some very fine 

 setie become visiVjle; there are three or four interstices on each 

 elytron slightly more prominent than the others, but not one is 

 conspicuously elevated. The sex of the type is doubtful, as many 

 males of Cryjytodus have the front claws simple. 



CORYNOPHYLLUS INTEROCULARIS, n.Sp. 



^. Black: antennae, most of legs and of undersurface more or 

 less castaneous-brown. Undersurface and legs with rather 

 dense, rusty-red hair; upper surface and pygidium glabrous. 



Head concave, and with irregular (but not very dense) trans- 

 versely-contluent punctures between eyes ; clypeus moderately 

 long, punctures more or less confluent, apex and sides rather 

 strongly elevated, basal carina strongly elevated (sub-tuberculate) 

 in middle; mentum gently convex. Antennae ten-, cluV) three- 

 jointed, rami large, about as long as head is wide. Prothorax 

 not twice as wide as long, sides strongly rounded, apex bisinuate, 

 front angles produced, hind ones rounded off', a rather small 

 excavation in front, the middle of its front margin with a small 

 tubercle, basal gutter distinct at sides, but not traceable across 

 middle; with small and sparse punctures, becoming more numer-
