264 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLKOPTERA, 



corpore subtus ferrugineo ; processu intercoxali lato parallelo 

 antice subtruncato. [Long. IJ, lat. y^ ^i^^®- 



The sculpture is almost entirely invisible owing to the density 

 of the scales clothing all j)arts. 



S. Australia ; taken under stones on York's Peninsula, on sandy 

 ground near the sea. 



TiMARETA CONCOLOR, Sp.nOV. 



Prsecedenti affinis ; oculis magis prominulis ; prothorace vix 

 trans verso ; sutura 1^ ventrali magis fortiter arcuata ; fusco- 

 ferruginea squamis concoloribus et setuHs ut prsecedends 

 vestita. [i^ong. U, lat. | line. 



In all structural characters not mentioned above this species 

 agrees perfectly with tlie preceding, but besides beiug very 

 differently coloured and entirely devoid of markings, the distinc- 

 tions indicated in the diagnosis are clearly specitic. In T. (?) lineata 

 the eyes project so little from the sides of the head that they are 

 scarcely visible when the insect is viewed from above, while in 

 T. (?) concolor they are very visible indeed when similarly 

 inspected. 



S. Australia ; Eyre's Peninsula. 



TiMARETA MUNDA, Sp.UOV. 



Ovalis ; picea ; squamis piceo-brunneis cinereisque intermixtis 



tecta, et setulis erectis robustis clavatis minus elongatis 



pallidis vestita ; rostro scrobibus antennis oculis prothora- 



ceque ut T. Uneaten conformatis ; elytris brevioribus minus 



parallelis, interstitiis minus latis. [Long, li, lat. f line. 



The cinereous scales are condensed to form on the prothorax two 



narrow longitudinal lines and on the elytra a short line on either 



side of the scutellum, while on all the interstices except those 



near the suture they form a number of small spots ; these 



markings, however (in the unique type which does not seem to be 



abraded), are not at all conspicuous as compared with the snowy- 



wiiite markings of T. lineata. From that species the present one 



is distinguished also by the different pattern formed by its scales
