Leptops regularis n. sp. 



Black. Densely clothed with whitish scales; thickly intersper- 

 sed, especially on the elytra, with semierect and rather thin yello- 

 wish seUe; club, except at base, wilh sooty pubescence. 



Rostrum and antennaî much as in the preceding species. Protho- 

 rax more regularly rounded and with rather coarser sculpture. 

 Elytra longer and deeper, with longer and shallower puncturesand 

 ahnost perfectly regular interstices. Front tibiai feebly curved, 

 edentate. — Length 11-18 mill.

 AllitT), Coolabah (N. B. Gurney), Darling River (Macleay Muséum); 

 S. Australia (Macleay Muséum). 



In gênerai appearance not unlike scveral species oî Cataslijgnus, 

 but the long narrow eyes at once distingnish it from that genus. 

 The setae are paler and longer towards apex of elytra than elsewhere 

 on the upper surface, and on the sides towards the base they are 

 stouter and shorter. 



Leptops nigropunctatus n. sp. 



Black. Densely clothed with white scales; thickly interspersed 

 with stout whitish seta:;. 



Rostrum stout, obtusely carinated along middle. Sublateral suici 

 short and shallow. Scrobes obscurely defmed hindward. Antennae 

 rather thin, first joint offunicle slightly longer than second, none 

 of the others distinctly ti'ansverse. l^rothorax strongly transverse, 

 sides rather strongly rounded, coanely punctate, médian impression 

 feeble. Elytra widely ovate, at base no wider than prothorax, but 

 twice as wide across middle, with séries of large, open punctures; 

 third fifth and seventh interstices usually wider thati punctures, 

 the others narrower. Front tibiae feebly curved, edentate. — Length 

 8-13 mill.

With elytral punctures apparently as in L. punctiger, but differs 

 from the description of that species in its setio not being black, 

 rostrum without three raised Unes in front and scape passing the 

 eye. The punctures are very conspicuous, black, highly polished
