818 MISCELLANEA ENTOMOLOGICA, NO. II. 



13. LlPARETRUS CAPILLATUS, n. Sp. 



Head and thorax black, subnitid, punctate, brownish -villose, the 

 clypeus of the male truncate and reflexed at the apex, with the 

 angles acute but not produced laterally. Elytra piceous-red, nitid, 

 and rather strongly punctate, with four geminate striae. Body 

 beneath and pygidiurn cinereo-villose. Legs piceous, anterior 

 tibise tridentate. Anterior tarsi slightly thickened in the male, the 

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



Length, 3| lines. 



Hab. — King George's Sound. 



14. LlPARETRUS COMATUS, n. Sp. 



This species is very like L. marginipennis. The clypeus of the 

 male is broadly emarginate at the apex, the hair on the thorax is 

 longer, the elytra are more distinctly sculptured, the geminate 

 striae being very distinct and the interstices being marked with 

 large thinly-placed punctures ; they are also of a lighter and more 

 nitid red, and the base and sides are much more narrowly mar- 

 gined with black. The inner lobe of the first joint of the anterior 

 tarsi of the male is prolonged as in L. fulvohirtus ; the first joint of 

 the posterior tarsi is one half the length of the second. 



Length, 4 lines. 



Hab. — South Australia (Interior). 



15. LlPARETRUS NITIDIPENNIS, n. sp. 



It is with some doubt that I place this species in this subdivision, 

 the clypeus, though truncate and angled, being notched behind the 

 angle so as to narrow the apex very much. The whole upper 

 surface is glabrous; the head and thorax are black and finely 

 punctate. The elytra are of a deep red, with black base, nitid, 

 thinly punctate, with geminate striae minutely punctate. The 

 under surface black and cinereo-villose, the hair thin on the 

 pygidiurn. Legs piceous-black, strong, the anterior tibiae strongly 

 tridentate, the first joint of the posterior tarsi less than half the 

 length of the second. 



Length, 4 lines. 



Hab. — South Australia.
