652 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, X., 



thorax, but considerably wider across middle : with dense and 

 coarse punctures, but the thickened suture and margins almost 

 impunctate. Front femora transversely excavated near apex. 

 Length (cf 9), 2J mm. 



9. Differs in having the first joint of antennae smaller, the 

 second slightly longer than third but simple, and the front 

 femora simple. 



ILah. — West Australia: Mullewa (Miss J. F. May). 



Of the size and with four elytral spots as in L. palUduSy L. 

 cams, L. smus, and L. eyrensls, but the subapical spots ol 

 different shape and the second joint of antennae very different 

 from that of the males of the three first-named species. Of L. 

 tijrensis, only a female is before me, but the female of the 

 present species differs in the spots being of a different shade of 

 colour, and with punctures equally as coarse as on the rest of 

 the surface instead of impunctate in parts. In my Table of 

 the genus, it would be associated with the much larger L. 

 tarsalis and L. major. One basal spot on each elytron occu- 

 pies the whole of the extreme base, but its hind margin is 

 semicircular, its length is about half that of the prothorax ; 

 the subapical spot is larger and shaped somewhat like a 

 thick, badly formed 3, of which the concave side is obliquely 

 placed towards the suture. The spiniform process at the apex 

 of the second joint of antennae is invisible from most direc- 

 tions, but very distinct from a few. 



Hypattalus TRiANGULiFERUSjii.sp. (Plate Ixxvi., fig.8). 



cf . Black; muzzle, prothorax, parts of three basal joints of 

 antennae, and parts of legs, flavous. Clothed with fine greyish 

 pubescence, and with longer hairs scattered about on sides. 



Head shallowly depressed in front, with a few coarse jDunc- 

 tures about base. Antennae long, third joint lightly, fourth to 

 tenth strongly serrated. Prothorax about once and one-half 

 as wide as long, apex distinctly produced in middle, base and 

 hind angles widely rounded ; punctures indistinct or absent. 

 Elytra slightly wider than prothorax, parallel-sided to near 

 apex j with dense and rather coarse punctures. Legs rather
