142 Arthur M. Lea: 



apical half with numerous small angular granules, of which 

 those in front form three almost perfectly regular rows. Elytra 

 about twice as long as wide ; with dense minute punctures, and 

 with larger (but still small) (punctures' in regular series. 

 Length \\ mm. 



Hah. — Queensland : Cairns (E. Allen). 



The reddish prothorax readily distinguishes from all other 

 species known to me. 



The elytral setae are very short, and from above appear 

 almost as if scales. The granules on the middle of the pro- 

 thorax have a somewhat regular arrangement, but not so com- 

 plete as the three apical rows. There are faint traces of striae 

 at the base and sides of elytra, but true striae are quite absent 

 from the disc, although the rows of punctures are quite regular. 



Cryphalus striatopunctatus^ n. sp. 



Piceous-black ; appendages flavous, club darker. Indistinctly 

 clothed with greyish pubescence ; the elytra in addition with 

 regular series of rather short and fairly stout setae. 



Prothorax about as long as wide ; with rather small dense 

 punctures ; apical half, except at sides, with numerous small an- 

 gular granules, scarcely transversely arranged. Elytra rather 

 more than twice as long as wide ; with regular rows of (for the 

 genus) comparatively large punctures, becoming smaller pos- 

 teriorly, and in rather lightly impressed but quite distinct 

 striae. Length \\ mm. 



Hah. — N.S. Wales: National Park, Sydney (A. M. Lea). 



Distinguished from setistriatus by the more convex elytral 

 interstices, with larger punctures in the striae ; in shape also it is 

 slightly less elongate. 



One specimen is entirely flavous (except that the granules are 

 somewhat darker), but this is probably due to immaturity. 



Cryphalus hinii/his, n. sp. 



Brownish-flavous, appendages flavous. Clothed with fine 

 greyish pubescence ; elytra in addition with short, stout, erect 

 setae, in regular series.
