Coleoj^tera, Part I. 141 



Much smaller and darker than pilosellus, with the legs not 

 entirely pale, prothorax with coarser punctures and sparser 

 granules, etc. The uniformly black prothorax distinguishes 

 from the description of sidneyanus, and the larger size and 

 sutural stria not profoundly impressed at base from the descrip- 

 tion of wapleri (the colour of which is not mentioned). The 

 clothing is much as in the preceding species, except that the 

 fine pubescence is slightly longer and more noticeable. In 

 general appearance it is much like the European hinodulus, but 

 is more compact, punctures coarser, with the striation more 

 pronounced and regular. 



The granules are almost entirely confined to the sloping 

 apical portion of the prothorax, and, from above, the space they 

 occupy appears to be almost circular. On one specimen the 

 club is concolorous with the rest of the antennae, on the other 

 it is somewhat darker, 



Cryphalus setistj'iaUis, n. sp. 



Black; appendages flavous, knees and club darker. Clothed 

 with fine greyish pubescence, the elytra with short, stout, sub- 

 erect setae, in regular series. 



Prothorax about as long as wide ; with small dense punctures, 

 and with numerous somewhat angular granules, more or less 

 transversely arranged. Elytra more than twice as long as 

 wide ; with regular rows of distinct punctures in fine striae. 

 Length IJ mm. 



Hah. — AV. Australia : Rottnest Island (A. M. Lea). 



The granules are smaller, more numerous and less angular 

 than in any of the preceding species, and their transverse 

 arrangement is less conspicuous ; the punctures are also more 

 noticeable. The elytral setae in this and the three following 

 species are very different to those of the three preceding species. 



Cryphalus tricolof\ n. sp. 



Blackish-brown, prothorax reddish, appendages tlavous. 

 Clothed with very fine whitish pubescence, the elytra in addi- 

 tion with very short, stout, suberect setae, in regular series. 



Prothorax almost as long as wide, with small dense punctures ;
