682 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, X., 



ately curved, about the length of prothorax; with dense punc- 

 tures, clearly defined in front, subseriately arranged and partially 

 concealed behind antennae. Antennae rather short; scape inserted 

 two-fifths from apex of rostrum, and slightly longer than funicle; 

 basal joint of funicle stout and rather long; club rather short. 

 Prothorax moderately transverse, lightly convex, sides strongly 

 rounded, base about once and one-half the width of apex; with 

 dense, partially concealed punctures. Scutellum small. Elytra 

 decidedly wider than prothorax, sides gently rounded, each feebly 

 separately rounded at apex; with rows of distinct punctures, in 

 narrow striae; interstices much wider than striae, with dense 

 punctures. Under surface with dense punctures, smaller along 

 middle than on sides. Pygidium moderately large. Legs stout; 

 femora strongly and acutely dentate. Length, 3-3 J mm. 



//a6. — Queensland : Wolfram Camp, near Cairns (H. Hacker). 



The simple prothoracic margins and strongly dentate femora 

 are at variance with the preceding species; but I am averse to 

 proposing a new genus for the species, as, in many respects, it is 

 certainly very close to them. 



EUDELA FLAVIPENNIS, n.Sp. 



Pale castaneous, elytra (suture excepted) and legs still paler. 

 Rather sparsely clothed with whitish pubescence ; seriately 

 arranged on elytra. 



Head small; with dense, partially concealed punctures. Eyes 

 large and latero-frontal. Rostrum rather thin and moderately 

 curved, parallel-sided, about the length of prothorax; with dense 

 punctures ; basal two-thirds with a distinct median carina. 

 Antennae rather short, inserted slightly nearer apex than base of 

 rostrum; scape about the length of funicle; club short. Pro- 

 thorax moderately convex, strongly transverse, sides strongly 

 rounded, base almost truncate and much wider than apex, with 

 dense, fairly large and sharply defined punctures. Scutellum 

 small. Elytra not much wider than prothorax, sides gently 

 rounded, and separately rounded at apex; with regular rows of 

 small but distinct punctures, becoming smaller posteriorly; inter- 

 stices much wider than seriate punctures, with numerous small
