moderately thickly all over with very long and very fine hairs, 

 elytra sculptured in the apical part differently from those of the 

 other sex, and the form much narrower and more elongate in 

 respect of both the prothorax and the elytra. 



Apate lindi, sp.nov. 



Nitida; glabra; picea, capite prothorace pedibusque rufis, elytris 

 hie illicrufescentibus; capite crebre ruguloso; prothorace elytrorum 

 latitudine, leviter transverso, postice leviter sparsim sat crasse 

 punctulato, antice fortiter tuberculato-ruguloso, utrinque ad mar- 

 ginem lateralem antice spinis 3 conspicuis (harum antica maxima 

 uncinata) armato, basi quam antice fere duplo latiori, angulis 

 posticis rotundatis ; elytris prothorace plus duplo longioribus, sat 

 crebre (a basi ad apicem gradatim magis fortiter et magis crasse, 

 pone medium valde rugulose) punctulatis, postice declivibus, 

 parte declivi haud carina circumcincta, utrinque spinis 2 (spina 

 superiori parva compressa, inferiori permagna retrorsum directa 

 intus fortiter curvata) armata, sutura a basi ad apicem gradatim 

 magis elevata, humeris Isevibus. [Long. 1-2, lat jVI liiies. 



Viewed from the side both the apical spines of the elytra are 

 seen to project horizontally hindward ; viewed from above the 

 upper (and smaller) spines, which are considerably nearer to each 

 other than the lower ones, are seen to be almost parallel, — while 

 the lower ones (which are more than twice as long as the other 

 pair and are about as long as the non-rugulose portion of the 

 prothorax on the middle line) curve in a convergent direction so 

 that their apices are not so far apart as the apices of the upper 

 pair of spines. Immediately below the large spine and a little 

 nearer to the lateral margin is a third prominence which however 

 is small, very obtuse and little conspicuous.

I possess an example which I believe to be this insect ; I cut 

 it oat of a burrow in a living Eucalyptus on Mount Lofty near
