Head: labi'Uiii prominent and punctate, clypeus raised, straight, 

 and, with the front, coarsely punctulate, continued backwards 

 by a strongly raised ridge at right angles to clypeus extending 

 to the inside of the eye; front thus squarely depressed, eyes large 

 and prominent; antennce extending beyond the base of prothorax, 

 third joint at least equal to fourth and fifth combined, joints 4-10 

 obconic, gradually thickening towards apex and tending to become 

 more ovate ; eleventh elongate-ovate, longer and wider than 

 tenth; mentum and submentuni with large round punctures. 

 Prothorax transverse (3 x 4-5 mm.), convex, without lateral 

 foliation, apex rather circular, anterior angles emarginate, acute 

 (about 80^) and a little recurved at the tips, sides sinuate, in 

 front sliglitl}^, abruptly near base, widely rounded to greatest 

 width behind the middle, posterior angles distinct and rectangular. 

 Border at base, sides, and apex narrow, of equal width, recurved 

 only at sides. Disc without central line, tinely and regularly 

 punctulate, with a few larger setiferoas punctures irregularly 

 scattered on surface. Scutdlum small, transverse, and coarsely 

 punctulate. Elytra rather squarely ovate, distinctly wider than 

 prothorax, convex and widely rounded at apex, shoulders 

 moderate; coarsely punctate-striate, each elytron with ten rows 

 of large, round, evenly and closely placed foveate punctures 

 placed in striae, of which two rows are on the sides; punctures 

 on outside row much larger than the rest and wider apart (4 on 

 outside row occupy the space of 6 in adjacent row). The intervals 

 strongly convex and closely punctured; epipleur^ coarsely punc- 

 tulate, prosternum and abdomen very minutely punctured. Front 

 tibiae straight, intermediate and hind tibiae rather strongly bowed, 

 and compressed near apex. Intercoxal process semicircular, with 

 raised margin. Dimensions — 12 x 5*6 mm. 



Hah. — Bardoc, West Australia. 



A single specimen ($1) has been kindly given me by Mr. C. 

 French. The structure of the antennae, in combination with the

 from all species known to me, nor can it be confounded with
