Hab. — South Australia. 



Burmeister describes this species as having only 8 joints to the 

 antennae, and the clypeus of the male tridentate ; in both cases he 

 is wrong, and has probably mistaken Germar's species for some 

 other. 



11. LlPARETRUS ATER, n. Sp. 



Black, rather thinly fulvo-villose above, cinereo-villose beneath. 

 Head minutely and densely punctate, clypeus of the male 

 emarginate in front, acutely angled and projecting laterally. 

 Thorax opaque, very minutely but not densely punctate. Elytra 

 piceous-black, nitid, free of hair except at the base, coarsely and 

 irregularly punctate, with three geminate striae on each. Propy- 

 gidium nitid, finely punctate, thinly cinereo-villose. Legs piceous- 

 black, anterior tibiae piceous-red, strong, tridentate, the tarsi of 

 the four anterior legs reddish and strong, the anterior claws 

 furnished with a setigerous tubercle as in L. phcenicopterus. The 

 first joint of the posterior tarsi much shorter than the second. 



Length, 5 lines. 



Sab. — South Australia. 



12. LlPARETRUS ANGULATUS, n. Sp. 



Head black, densely fulvo-villose, the clypeus of the male 

 reflexed and very slightly emarginate at the apex, with the angles 

 acute, and produced laterally. Thorax black, sericeous, very 

 minutely punctate, with the median line broadly impressed at the 

 base, and with a frill of long hairs at the apex and sides. Elytra 

 red, sub-nitid, iridescent and thinly punctate, with three geminate 

 striae. Under surface black, clothed with long ashen hair, the 

 pygidium almost glabrous, minutely punctate. Legs piceous, the 

 anterior tibiae very strongly tridentate, the anterior tarsi slightly 

 thickened in the male, the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long 

 as the second.
