PSELAPHUS LOiNGEPILOSUS, SchaufuSS. 



Tijds. v. Ent. xxix. 1886, p. 248. 



This species, together with the following one, is remarkable for 

 the long black hairs covering the body, which are even longer on 

 the posterior tibiae; the head is rather long and narrow, with the 

 furrow extending back as far as the neck, and bears no tubercles, 

 but two obsolete oblique carinules between the eyes; the palpi are 

 long, slender and little arcuate; the prothorax is broadest in front 

 of the middle, the sides are somewhat flattened and carinate, the 

 transverse furrow is very much arcuate and interrupted in the 

 middle by a bicarinate fovea; the elytra have a strong but simple 

 dorsal stria. 



Rockhampton, Q. 



I know only the type specimen of Dr. Schaufuss, which has no 

 antennae left. 



PSELAPHUS PILOSUS, 11. sp. 



Laete rufo-castaneus, longe, disperse nigro-setosus. Caput 

 crassum, inter oculos tuberculisduobus magnis, sulco longitudinali 

 angusto, profundo, inter oculos abrupto, vertice parum convexo. 

 Palpi elongati, articulo quarto arcuato, clava crassa, parte basali 

 pedunculata clava haud triplo longiori. Antennae crassae, valid ae, 

 articulis latitudine sua paulo longioribus, 9 breviter obconico, 10

This species differs from the preceding one by the head being 

 shorter and bearing strong tubercles; the palpi are more arcuate; 

 the prothorax is much shorter and regularly ovate, with the sides 

 rounded, not carinate ; the elytra are shorter, with a finely 

 i/eminate dorsal stria.
