to the basal two-fifths ; when they suddenly become oblique 

 to the base ; in the following species they are intermediate 

 between this and the preceding species. 



MyruiiflioJeva punctata, n.sp. (Fig. 45.) 



? . Of a. pale but rather dingy castaneous, prothorax (except 

 sides and base), head, apical half of antennae and under surface 

 somewhat darker. Moderately densely clothed with long 

 pubescence or short hair, liecoming much shorter on under- 

 surface. 



Head behind clypeal suture and across the eyes about twice 

 as wide as long, but including mandibles about as long as wide ; 

 with clearly defined and moderately dense punctures, becoming 

 sparser and smaller on labrum, which is about thrice as wide 

 as long. Antennae much as in preceding species, except that 

 the second joint is still shorter than the first, although slightly 

 longer than the second. Prothorar strongly convex, about twice 

 as wide as the leng-th down middle, sublateral striae deeply im- 

 pressed, with the margins somewhat flattened ; disc with dense 

 and clearly defined punctures, becoming smaller towards sides. 

 Elytra much as in preceding species, except that they are 

 slightly shorter, with slightly stronger punctures. Length 

 2\ mm. 



Hah. — W. Australia: Karridale (A. M. Lea). 



In general appearance very close to the preceding species, 

 but readily distingiiished therefrom by the conspicuous pro- 

 thoracic punctures. As all the tarsi are thin at the base the 

 type is certainly a female. 



Myrwirholeva ligulata, n.sp. (Fig. 12.) 



(?. Dark reddish castaneous, appendages paler; under-surface 

 (tip of al)domen diluted with red) almost black. Densely 

 clothed with rather long pale pubescence, becoming somewhat 

 shorter and sparser on under surface. 



Head between clypeal suture (which is rather indistinct) and 

 neck about twice as wide as long ; with clearly defined but 

 rather small and not very dense punctures; labrum longer and 

 more convex than in all the preceding species and almost
