140 Arthur M. Lea : 



A specimen from the Upper Ord River may represent a 

 variety of this species ; it differs from the types in being slightly 

 narrower, with the elytral setae more pronounced. 



Cryphalus siibcoDipadus^ n. sp. 



Piceous-black ; appendages reddish-flavous, tarsi still paler. 

 Clothing of the same nature as in the preceding species, but 

 darker. 



Prothorax almost as long as wide ; wdth dense minute punc- 

 tures ; and dense angular granules, more or less transversely 

 arranged. Elytra almost twice as long as wide, with dense 

 minute punctures, and very fine but fairly distinct striae. 

 Length IJ-lf mm. 



Hah.—^.^. Wales: Galston (D. Dumbrell), Sydney (A. M. 

 Lea). 



The length is about that given for wapleri, but the elytral 

 clothing and sutural stria are not as described in that species. 

 The prothoracic granules are rather more closely placed than in 

 the preceding species, and terminate hindwards rather more 

 abruptly ; the elytral striae are also rather more noticeable, 

 although very finely impressed. 



An immature specimen which belongs to this species is in 

 general appearance very close to two European species which I 

 have under the names of piceae (Ratz) and asijeratus (Gyll), 

 but is slightly more compact, with the clothing slightly dif- 

 ferent. 



CrypJialus nielasonius^ n. sp. 



Black ; tibiae more or less diluted with red. tarsi and an- 

 tennae flavous. Clothed with tine dark pubescence and fine 

 suberect setae. 



Prothorax moderately transverse ; with dense and fairly dis- 

 tinct punctures ; apical half, except at sides, with coarse an- 

 gular granules, more or less transversely arran<2:ed. Elytra 

 rather more than twice as long as wide, with rows of small but 

 distinct punctures in fine striae, the striae rather stronger 

 towards sides than suture. Length 2 mm.
