eyes and tips of the mandibles black; antennz black, except the con- 
dyle of the basal joint; prothorax black, coarsely punctured, with scat- 
tered erect hairs; scutellum shortly scutiform; elytra pale yellowish 
olive; abdomen black, the two middle segments and posterior half of the 
basal covered with pale olivaceous silky hairs, sterna black ; legs glossy 
black, with long, erect, scattered, pale greyish hairs. Length 6 lines. 
Of the two specimens before me, neither have the antenne perfect, 
but they appear, judging from what remains, to have been consider- 
ably shorter than the body. The species, however, is at once dis- 
tinguished from A. carissima, Newm., the only other known, by its 
black prothorax. 
Mallodon Odewahnii. 
M. depressum ; prothorace transverso, antice late emarginato, lateribus 
spinoso-crenatis, crenis apice plerumque bifidis, disco, figura complexa 
mediano excepta, minutissime punctato, granulifero; antennis nitidis, 
sparse punctatis. 
Hab, South Australia (Mr. Odewahn). 
Rather narrow and depressed, glossy brown, paler on the elytra; head 
coarsely punctured ; mandibles deeply hollowed out on their dorsal sur- 
face ; antenne about half the length of the body, scape not extending 
to beyond half the breadth of the eye, coarsely punctured ; prothorax 
transverse, the margin spinulose, the disk on each side with a large, 
smooth, glossy space sparsely punctured, and a narrow strip at the 
base, the rest finely and very closely punctured, with numerous scat- 
tered granules amongst them; scutellum subtransverse, rounded be- 
hind; elytra finely punctured; body beneath finely granulate; legs 
covered with short, scanty hairs. Length 22 lines. 
From Mallodon figuratum this species is distinguished by its nar- 
rower form, short scape, mandibles deeply excavated above, pro- 
thorax granulate, scutellum rounded behind, and elytra finely pune- 
tured. On account of its spinose anterior tibie (a character of 
scarcely specific value), it belongs to the genus Cnemoplites, Newm. 
Mallodon cephatotes. 
M. capite magno, vertice elevato ; prothorace convexo, crebre punctato, 
lateribus angustissime marginatis, sparse crenatis; scutello subscuti- 
formi, apice fere rotundato; antennis nitidis, vage punctatis; tibiis 
inermibus. 
Hab. Queensland (Mr. Diggles). 
Dark glossy brown, lighter on the elytra; head large, the vertex ele- 
vated and convex, very coarsely punctured; mandibles narrow, very 
convex; scape of the antennze extending to the posterior margin of the 
eye, with large scattered punctures; prothorax transverse, the margin 
irregularly crenate, the disk with punctures of various sizes, many of
