then a])pearing as a sul)triangnilar extension on each side of 

 base ; with three strong, longitudinal impressions, and a deep 

 transverse sub-basal one, the latter causing the lateral constric- 

 tions ; with small scatteied punctures. Elytra slightly longer 

 than wide, shoulders rounded, sides gently rounded, each Avith 

 two striae commencing in basal foveae, the subsutural one 

 distinct throughout, the discal one distinct at base, traceable at 

 apex, but obsolete in middle; punctures much as on prothorax. 

 Meta-^ternion feebly impressed along middle. Ahdomeu non- 

 foveate. J^egs moderately long ; trochanters each with a feeble 

 subtriangular node or tooth ; femora edentate. Length, 1 

 4-5ths mm.

The specimen redescribed is a co-type, if not the actual type 

 itself, as King says, " Tlie Dandenong Ranges Dr. Howitt." In 

 general appearance it is fairly close to Eujilextops gihhosuK, but 

 the prothoracic sculpture, although deep, is less profound, an- 

 tennae somewhat shorter and stouter, with the joints of the 

 clulj differently proportioned. Its clothing is also more notice- 

 able. The abdomen has a short process projecting backwards 

 from its tip, liut I cannot make out whether it is an ovipositor 

 or the sheath of a penis, but it is probably the latter, as the 

 trochanters appear (^from some directions) to be obtusely den- 

 tate ; the third ventral segment also has a very feeble sub- 

 triangular impression at middle of apex, but which is invisible 

 from most directions. Tlie disc of each elytron is slightly paler 

 than its other parts, but the shades of colour are not sharply 

 defined.
