512 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



Serangium obscuripes, n.sp. 



Briefly ovate, moderately convex, not very highly polished. 

 Black; mouth-parts and legs piceous, the anterior tibise somewhat 

 paler. Clothed (except on middle of elytra) with moderately 

 long whitish pubescence; under surface almost glabrous. 



Elytra densely, regularly and finely but distinctly punctate. 

 Under surface punctate at sides, and basal segment of abdomen 

 across middle. Length 1 J mm. 



Hah. — New South Wales. 



Differs from hicolor by the elytra being noticeably punctate 

 and less polished; from the (as above noted) Geraldton specimens 

 of punctipenne by having the elytra much more densely punctate, 

 but the punctures finer and less distinct; from the preceding it is 

 readily distinguished by its clothing, and by the colour of its 

 legs.
