E. MJÜBERG: on some new, AUSTRALIAN GRVLLIDS AND FORFICULIDS. 29 



elytra brilliant black; head broader than long, in the middle 

 with some indistinct impressions; mouth-parts and clyi^eus 

 reddish brown; antenna; i2-jointed, long and densely hairy; 

 prothorax with a fine line in the middle and a distinct im- 

 pression on each side; the front and hind angles rounded. 

 Elytra ver}- brilliant, densely and finely [)unctured; abdominal 

 segments with long, erect, yellow hairs. Forceps at the base 

 straight and here with a sharp tooth, then bent and provided 

 with a tooth, at the top bent again. 



Long, c^ II — 12 mm., $ lo mm. 



Of this very characteristic species, I have found 6 c^cf 

 and II $Ç under bark in the rain-forests on the top of 

 Blackal Range, S. Queensland. 



Chelisoches kiniberleyensis n. sp. 



Bod}" elongated, depressed, without hairs; head flat, 

 mouth-parts and clypeus reddish brown, brilliant black, 

 narrowing backwards; antennae black, 24-jointed. Prothorax 

 posteriori}' a little broader, front angles obtuse, hind angles 

 rounded; eh'tra long, as the squama; testaceous, at the hind 

 margin very finely striated. Legs short, black, only the tarsal 

 joints and the top of the tibia; red — yellow; all abdominal 

 segments with a transversal row of fine tubercles and with 

 rugulous sculpture. Forceps in J" long, slightly bent, at 

 the base with a very big tooth, behind the middle a smaller, 

 obtuse tooth. 



Long. <S 22 mm., $ 24 mm. 



Apparently allied to C/i. Diorio F. and CIt. australiens 

 GuiLL., but differing from the former by the red colour on the 

 el}'tra, the forceps etc., from the later by the tarsal joints and 

 also the forceps, antennae etc. I have only two specimens 

 of this characteristic species, i <$ from St. George Range, 

 West-Kimberley, taken under Pandanusbark, and i $ taken 

 by Mr. Giles, Perth, near Drysdale River, also in Kim- 

 berley. —
