rounded and sliming ; there are two or three small impressed 

 points on the third stria, one near the apex, the other or others 

 along the course of the stria ; a deep lateral groove, inclosing a 

 row of punctures, extends along the entire length of each elytron. 

 The under surface is of a shining black ; the abdominal seg- 

 ments are convex, and have each two impressed punctures, one 

 on each side of the medial Hne, towards their posterior margins. 

 The legs, which with the antenna and palpi are reddish, are 

 strong and setose ; the fore tibifB are palmated and strongly 

 tridentated externally ; the two internal spurs are long and acute. 

 The intermediate tibiae are armed with one straight acute tooth, 

 near the apex, externally, and they have on the inner side, at the 

 apex, two small spurs, the hind tibias having only one long very 

 acute spur oa the same part. 



This species I have never seen, except from the Murrumbidgee, 

 and even there it seems to be by no means common. It may 

 readily be distinguished from the next species by its rugose head 

 and more distinctly channelled elytra, but, in truth, the insects 

 are very different in many respects. I think I have another 

 species from Melbourne, but I have not had time yet to examine 

 it thoroughly.

The head in this species is rather flat and smooth, with two 

 very deeply cut longitudinal canals on each side. The thorax is 

 longer than broad, and evidently gets thicker towards the base ; 

 the anterior margin is slightly sinuated, and the posterior angles 

 are rounded ; the dorsal line is but slightly marked. The elytra 

 are twice the length of the thorax, rather convex and rounded at 

 the apex ; there are seven narrow stride or channels on each
