Section 2 — Elytra irregularly jmnctured. 



25. Ancyrona AMIGA, sp. n. (A. M.) 



Ovate, depressed, dark ferruginous brown, shining, finely, 

 rather closely and irregularly punctured ; head and prothorax 

 moderately closely covered with grey scales and very fine 

 pubescence ; each elytron with an indistinct reddish testaceous 

 marking near the suture extending from the base to just behind 

 the middle, where it is bent inwards, the scales forming regular 

 rows on the disc. 



Head rather small, transverse. Antennae ferruginous, the club 

 compact, three jointed, Prothoi'ax at the base more than twice as 

 broad as long, deeply emarginate in front, finely and irregularly 

 punctured ; anterior angles acute ; the lateral margins broad, 

 slightly reflexed, finely punctured and aciculate. Scutellum 

 transverse, rounded behind, finely and rather closely punctured. 

 Elytra more than one and-a-half times as long as the head and 

 prothorax together, the sides nearly parallel for two thirds of their 

 length then arcuately narrowed to the apex ; lateral margins 

 broad, slightly reflexed. Underside and legs pale ferruginous. 

 Length 4| mm. ; greatest width 2f mm. 



Albany, West Australia ; Port Lincoln, South Australia. 



This very distinct Ancyrona may be known at once from the 

 other species here enumerated by its having the elytra finely and 

 irregularly punctured (not punctate-striate) and the scales on the 

 disc arranged in rows. 



26. Ancyrona vesca, sp. n. (A.M.) 



Ovate, moderately depressed, dark ferruginous brown, somewhat 

 shining, very finely, closely and irregulai'ly punctured ; latei-al 

 margins pale ferruginous ; head and prothorax closely covered with 

 small grey scales and very fine pubescence ; each elyti-on with two 

 indistinct reddish testaceous spots near the suture, one at the base 

 the other just behind the middle, the scales forming irregular rows 

 on the disc.
