60 REVISION OF THE SUBFAMILY TENEBRIONINJE, 



wider than long (about 6x7 mm.), truncate at apex, the angle 

 feebly advanced, wider at apex than at base, anterior angles 

 rather squarely rounded, lateral rounding very slight on the 

 anterior part, a little sinuate posteriorly, its angle prominent and 

 acute, pointing obliquely outwards, margins fairly wide in front, 

 narrowly chajmelled within, margin and channel narrowed (some- 

 times with a slight crenulation) before the sinuation; base slightly 

 bisinuate and thickly margined; disc with faint median line, and, 

 under a strong lens, seen to be finely punctate. Scutellum trans- 

 verse. Elytra slightly wider than prothorax at base, gradually 

 widening to beyond the middle, sinuately and strongly narrowed 

 at apex, with moderate declivity; thickly margined at base, 

 humeral angle very obtuse but prominent, lateral margin and 

 channel narrow; substriate, with nine lines of large fovese, the 

 last on margin, sometimes confluent but smaller and punctiform 

 on the first row and near apex; an extra scutellary row consist- 

 ing of about three elongate punctures. Abdomen faintly strio- 

 late, intercoxal process widely rounded, its margin interrupted at 

 apex ; prosternum with three wide carinse, the two outside 

 irregularly thickened and crenulate within, the deep sulci 

 between the carinse produced in front of coxae, prosternal process 

 rounded behind; front tibiae strongly curved at apex. Dimen- 

 sions^ 22-25 X 7J-9 mm.

Six specimens examined, the males generally larger, wider, and 

 less convex than the females. The species differs from all de- 

 scribed species by the large foveate punctures of the elytra, very 

 little smaller than in H. (Chileone) Deyrollei Bates, from which 

 it differs in its narrower, longer, and less depressed form, the 

 much less produced and wider anterior angles of prothorax, with 

 its less thick and crenulate border. (In only one specimen of 

 H.foveata is this crenulation marked). Though not strictly 

 striate, the intervals are raised, and, viewed from behind, the 

 rows appear to be in linear depressions. It is noteworthy that 

 H. Deyrollei Bates, occurs within the same geographical area, 

 and has been captured by the author at Guyra and Tenterfield,
