In Imth JMac-klnirirs ami Gurham's tables of C'hridae this 

 <renus would lio placed next to Opiln, wiiiili I Ijulieve to be its 

 fiirret't position. From Opilo it is readily distin<ruished by its 

 apterous body ; the other apterous genera from Australia are 

 Cormodes and AUelidea. from the former it is distinguished by 

 the maxillary palpi, and from the latter by its coarsely granu- 

 lated and subreniform eyes. 



131. Apteropilo pictipes, n. sp. 



Dark reddish brown ; antennae, paJpi, coxae, trochanters, 

 tiljiuc and tarsi paler; femora black on apical third (or two- 

 tifths), almost white elscAvhere. Clothed with long, straggling, 

 blackish seta.e, and in places with shorter and paler setae. 



Jlnul rafher large ; densely covered with rather sujall but 

 clearly defined punctures, in places bec;.ming almost confluent. 

 Eyes small, subreniform, coarsely faceted. Antennae extending 

 to l)ase of protlmra.x. club rather loosely triarticulate. f'-o- 

 fluirur almost as long as wicie, strongly convex, apex very feebly 

 incurved to middle, sides gradually increasing in width to beyond 

 the middle (where the width is greater than that across the 

 eyes), then suddenly and strongly lessened to base ; punctures 

 much as on head, except thiT;t on the disc there are four sub- 

 tul)erculate (U* cicatrised spots. Snifel/iini concealed. Elytra 

 at base the width of head, rather strongly Increasing in width to 

 beyond the middle and then strongly rounded ; basal third with 

 about eight rows, on each elytron, of large, deep punctures, else- 

 where almost or quite impuncate. Sterna and lower surface 

 of head with distinct punctures ; abdomen with feeble punctures. 

 Legs stout and moderately long. Length. W mm. 



In one specimen the club is somewhat darker than the rest 

 of the antennae. The third-fifth rows of punctures on the 

 elytra are longer tha.n the others, but terminate before the 

 middle. The three specimens before me were obtained near the 

 beach, one on a plant occasionally wet with spray, the others 

 on a thick-leaved vine which sometimes almost covers its host- 

 plant.
