460 AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES, 



description of this insect except in having the hinder part of the 

 under surface of a dark piceous colour. Notwithstanding this 

 colour discrepancy I think it is probably conspecific with the insect 

 described by Fabricius, — the exact habitat of which has not, so 

 far as I know, been previously recorded. 



Crioceris recenSj sp.nov. 



Oblongo-parallela ; piceo-nigra ; elytris basi sat late, ad latera 

 antice anguste, rufescentibus ; capite insequali fortius crebrius 

 punctulato, antice sat producto, sparsim argenteo-pubescenti ; 

 an tennis crassis, articulo 5° ceteris longiore ; prothorace trans 

 raedium sparsius minus subtiliter punctulato, antice posticeque 

 Isevigato, pone medium transversim impresso, quam longiori paullo 

 ]atiori, basi quam antice latiori, ad latera coarctato ; scutello 

 angusto elongato ; elytris postice vix dilatatis, vix striatis, antice 

 sparsim sat crasse seriatim punctulatis, punctis post medium vix 

 distinctis ; corpore subtus medio obscure rufescenti, sparsim 

 argenteo-pubescenti. [I^ong. 4^, lat. 2 lines. 



Allied to C. fuscomaculata, Clk., but larger and entirely different 

 in colour and markings, &c,, &c. The uniform dark pitchy colour 

 of the antennae and legs (only the extreme base of the former 

 and the tarsi of the latter being obscurely reddish in the example 

 before me) will suffice to distinguish this species from all its 

 Australian congeners. 



N. Territory of S. Australia (Dr. Bovill). 



Terillus. 



The following species is very different in facies and in several 

 of its characters from typical members of this genus and I feel 

 much hesitation in associating it with them. It would appear 

 however to bear a good deal of resemblance to T. j^erplexus, Baly, 

 — so that I think I shall not be far wrong in connecting it with 

 that insect. Dr. Chapuis' tabulation of Eumolpidce (Gen. Col. X.) 

 would refer it to Terillus.
