ARTHUR M. LEA, CRYPTOPHAGIDAE, CUCUJIDAE ETC. 13 



Hab. — Queensland: Cedar Creek, in March (Dr. E. 

 Mjöberg). Type in Stockholm Museum. 



The tenth joint of the antennae of the male is about 

 as long as the seventh-ninth combined, and distinctly longer 

 than the eleventh, lopsided, convex on one side and with 

 a large pubescent excavation on the other, the eleventh is 

 thin at the basa, which is inserted before the apex of the 

 tenth, and suddenly inflated beyond its middle to apex, 

 which has two small spines (seldom visible together from the 

 same points). As with other species having the tenth and 

 eleventh joints distorted, they alter in appearance with the 

 point of view. The tenth joint is very large also in H. cras- 

 sicornis, but of very different shape. 



Heteromastix glaber sp. nov. 



(^ Black; scutcllum, basal two-fifths of elytra, sterna 

 (except sides of prosternum), four basal segments of abdomen, 

 legs (parts of tarsi infuscated), two basal joints of ant( nrae, 

 and part of the third, and parts of palpi flavous. Upper- 

 surface glabrous and highly polished, lower-surfaoe finely 

 pubescent. 



Head feebly impressed between eyes. Antennae rather 

 long and thin, third joint slightly stouter than the foUowing 

 ones. Prothorax fully twice as wide as long, margined 

 throughout, sides slightly wider near apex than at base, 

 Elytra long, slightly dilated beyond middle; with dense and 

 sharply defined, but not very large punctures, in places 

 feebly confluent. Length, 3,2 5 mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Malanda (Dr. E. Mjöberg). Type 

 (unique), in Stockholm Museum. 



A very distinct species; the black part of the elytra is 

 evenly rounded in front so as to be nearer the base at the 

 suture than at the sides. In my table it would be placed 

 with //. dolicocejihalus, but on that species the suture is dark 

 throughout, the head is much longer, the antennae much 

 shorter, &c. 



Heteromastix castigatus sp. nov. 



J* Black, prothorax flavous. With short, ashen pubescence. 



Head with two minute interocular impressions. Antennae 

 long and thin, eleventh joint twice the length of eighth. Pro- 

 thorax not twice as wide as long, margined throughout, sides
