Crossotarstis subpcllucidus^ n. sp. 



$(?) Chestnut-brown ; antennae, most of elytra of under sur- 

 face and of legs paler. Head with fairly dense and moderately 

 long golden-brown setae on vertical portion ; apex of elytra and 

 coxae with somewhat similar setae ; apex and sides of prothorax 

 and under surface with sparse and much shorter setae. 



Head with a shining, dark, impunctate line on vertex, de- 

 clivous portion with fairly numerous punctures of moderate 

 size. Prothorax, about once and one-half as long as wide ; with 

 numerous small punctures nowhere condensed into distinct 

 spots ; with a scarcely traceable, impunctate, median line. 

 Elytra not much longer than head and prothorax combined ; 

 with a fairly distinct subsutural row of punctures, and traces 

 of other rows elsewhere; near apex strongly striated, with the 

 apex itself very finely serrated, and the sides near apex arcuated 

 and finely serrated. Length 4 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Cairns (E. Allen), Kuranda (H. Hacker). 



The elytra, through which the wings can be easily seen, are 

 almost flavous, but with the sides, base and suture slightly 

 stained with brown, and the striated part at apex very dark 

 brown. The abdomen is somewhat darker than the rest of the 

 under surface. Of the legs the knees and tibial ridges are 

 rather darker than the other parts. From some directions the 

 outer angle at the apex of each elytron appears to be composed 

 of two small spines. 



There are two specimens before me of both this and the 

 following species, and they have the apex of the elytra with the 

 strong sculpture, that, according to Chapuis, denotes the femi- 

 nine sex. 



Crossoiarsus armipeiinis^ n. sp. 



( 2 ?). Chestnut-brown ; under surface (except abdomen) and 

 appendages (except that the legs are in places infuscated) paler. 

 Vertical portion of head and the coxae with moderately long and 

 somewhat golden setae ; apical fourth of elytra, and meta- 

 sternum, with shorter setae ; apex and sides of prothorax with 

 sparse and still shorter setae.
