814 MISCELLANEA ENT0M0L0GICA, NO II. 



indistinct. Pygidium and abdominal segments black, punctate, 

 and thinly clothed with long light-coloured hairs. The under 

 side of the thorax densely clothed with hairs of the same pallid 

 hue. Legs red. 



Length, 3 J lines. 



Hab. — Gayndah, Port Denison, Queensland generally. 



The above is my original description of this species, I have now 

 only to add, — Anterior tibiae tridentate, inner lobe of first joint 

 of anterior tarsi prolonged, and clypeus of male reflexed at the 

 apex, acutely angled, and very slightly emarginate on the apical 

 edge. The first joint of the posterior tarsi shorter than the 



second. 



5. Liparetrus Germari, n. sp. 



Very like L. phcenicopterus but much larger, the clypeus of the 

 male broad, slightly reflexed, and nearly quite truncate, the angles 

 not very acute. Head and thorax black, densely punctate and 

 thinly covered with long cinereous hairs, the median line of the 

 thorax quite traceable. Elytra red, tolerably nitid, villose at the 

 base only, strongly but rather thinly punctate, with three geminate 

 striaa, the first very distinct. Abdomen black, cinereo-villose, the 

 hair long and rather thin. Legs piceous, the anterior tibia? 

 strongly tridentate, the anterior tarsi much thickened, the spur on 

 the inner apex of the anterior tibiae much curved, and the first 

 joint of the posterior tarsi much shorter than the second. 



Length, 5£ lines. 



Hab. — South Australia. 



6. Liparetrus mastersi, n. sp. 



Resembles the last species (Z. Germari) in size and general 

 appearance. It differs in having the clypeus of the male slightly 

 emarginate in front and acutely angled, in having the head and 

 thorax more minutely and thinly punctate, and the latter without 

 trace of median line ; the clothing is also shorter, sparser, and of 

 a more yellow tinge. The elytra are more nitid, and of a more 

 ferruginous-red, the puncturation is thinner and stronger, and the
