726 NEW SPKCIKS OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, xiv., 



on the basal angle ; with a vaguely impressed median line, 

 becoming carinated at base; punctures moderately dense. Elytra 

 parallel-sided from near shoulders almost to apex; with punctures 

 of moderate size about base, becoming smaller posteriorly, but 

 about tip decidedly coarse. Length, 3 J mm. 



ZTaS.— N.S.W. : National Park (A. M. Lea); unique. 



The second joint of antenna^ has a curious appearance as of 

 being forced out of alignment. The elytral punctures are more 

 or less lineate in arrangement, but not placed in stride, the 

 sutural stria (and that only from about the middle) is the only 

 distinct one on each elytron; elsewhere there are but vague 

 remnants of striation, or none at all. The prosternal sulci are 

 deep, parallel-sided to near the base, and somewhat narrower than 

 the propleural parallelograms, which are about once and one-half 

 as long as their basal width. 



Hemiopsida longicornis, n.sp. 



Dull castaneous-brown; head, basal joint of antennae, junction 

 of prothorax and elytra, sterna, and hind coxse, black or blackish. 

 Rather densely clothed with moderately long, stramineous 

 pubescence. 



Head densely granulate punctate; with a subfoveate impres- 

 sion between antennary sockets; clypeus widely depressed in 

 middle. Antennae long, slightly passing elytra, second joint 

 very short, third slightly longer than first and distinctly longer 

 than fourth, fourth slightly shorter than fifth, fifth-tenth sub- 

 equal in length, eleventh almost as long as ninth and tenth com- 

 bined. Prothorax strongly convex, front angles rounded, hind 

 ones acute and obliquely produced on to shoulders, with a very 

 feeble median line; with dense, rugose punctures. Elytra slightly 

 wider than hind angles of prothorax, parallel-sided to beyond 

 the middle; with rather dense and irregular, but sharply defined 

 punctures, becoming crowded about base; striation well-defined 

 throughout, but especially on apical fifth. Abdomen with a deep, 

 conspicuous, hairy depression on each side of middle, extending 

 from tip of first segment to tip of fourth. Length, 6-6^ mm.
