Black ; muzzle, front mar<i:ins of prothorax, and appendages 

 reddish. 8})arsely clothed with tine whitish or greyish pulje.scence. 



Head with dense but rather indistinct punctures; a depres- 

 sion on each side close to antennary ridge. Antennae about the 

 length of base of prothorax. Vrothorac strongly transverse, 

 sides strongly rounded, but sinuated at base; with a distinct 

 and almost continuous median line ; with dense but small and 

 shallow punctures. Elytra with rows of large, round, subap- 

 proximate punctures ; the intea'stices convex and narrower than 

 punctures. Length, 2^ — 2| mm. 



Also from Victoria (Melbourne) and Tasmania (Kelso). 



The colour as de8cril)ed above is that of two specimens from

 elytra more or less reddish. In fresh specimens the clothing en 

 the elytra causes a line, whitish line to appear im each interstice. 

 From some directions the elytral punctures appear to be sub- 

 quadrate. The colour of the types is much as in nigra, but 

 the species is larger, the elytra punctures are consideraly larger, 

 and the prothoracic margins are sinuated posteriorly instead 

 of evenly rounded ; the pubescence also is sparser. The shape
