NOTKS ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



Fig. 1. 



rest extending nearly to base of prothorax, third joint cylindrical, 

 longer than fourth and fifth combined, 4-8 obconic, tenth 

 spheroidal, eleventh much longer than tenth, ovoid 

 and flattened, basal joints distinctly punctured, apical 

 joints pilose. Tooth of submentum small and coni- 

 cal, submentum opaque and strongly punctured. Pro- 

 thorax transverse (4 x 6*5 mm.), length measured in 

 the middle, greatest width behind the middle, apex 

 strongly arcuate-emarginate, anterior angles acute, 

 produced forward beyond the eyes and outwards and 

 a little reflexed; sides sinuate anteriorly, strongly 

 widened towards basal third, then more abruptly 

 sinuate towards hind angles, these acute and out- 

 wardly directed; base bisinuate, wider than apex, base 

 and apex narrowly margined; sides with uniformly 

 thickened upturned margins (less thickened and more 

 uniform than in A. Wesfwoodi), not explanate 

 nor distinctly channelled within. Disc smooth, rather fiat 

 (much less convex than A. Westwoodi), with obscure traces of 

 middle line and two large shallow depressions, one on each side 

 of middle near base. Scutellum rather widely triangular and 

 raised (less transverse than in A. Westwoodi). Elytra three times 

 the length of prothorax, and wider than it ( 1 2 x 8 mm.), shoulders 

 obtuse and subangulate, sides subparallel at basal half, then 

 slightly widened; sides narrowly margined and channelled, and 

 evident throughout from above, with a row of large marginal 

 punctures on basal half, the whole surface irregularly and rather 

 finely punctured, with three equidistant obscure costiform impres- 

 sions on each elytron, becoming obsolete at base and apex, surface 

 depressed near shoulders. Prosternum transversely strigose, 

 prosternal process carinate at sides with apex produced, rounded 

 and reflexed; mesosternum strongly carinated in the middle, 

 metasternum channelled, ahdomen with first two segments longi- 

 tudinally strigose, two apical segments finely punctured, Femora 

 and tibise punctured, the latter very little enlarged and shortly 

 spinose at the apex, with a thin line of red tomentum on the inside
