300 Records of the S.A. Museum 



semicircularly emarginate, sublateral striae deep, becoming foveate at base; sides 

 with distinct pnnctures, elsewhere impnnetate. Elytra gently rounded, widest 

 at about basal third ; with rows of rather large pnnctures, becoming smaller 

 towards suture and posteriorly, interstices with small but distinct punctures. 

 Length, 3 mm. 



H(ib. Queensland: Mount Tambourine (A. M. Lea). Type (unique), 

 T. 1179,3. 



Structurally close to S. quinquenotatus, but slightly narrower and more 

 convex, prothorax more narrowed in front and elytra behind, legs red and elytra 

 bimaculate. The markings on the prothorax are conjoined at base, and consist of 

 a large equilateral triangle, and a much smaller mark on each side, about half of 

 the surface being dark; the mark on each elytron is of irregular shape, wider 

 than long, and extends across about five interstices at the basal third, and distant 

 about two from the suture, foiu* or five of the apical joints of each antenna are 

 blackish, but the apical half of the eleventh joint is somewhat reddish. 



STENOTARSUS PALLIDIPENNIS sp. nov. 



Black; elytra, metasternum and abdomen fiavous, scutellum and tarsi some- 

 what darker. Rather densely clothed with pale, semierect pubescence. 



Head with numerous small punctures. Antennae rather long; cliil) stout. 

 Prothorax with front angles rounded and somewhat produced, sides elsewhere 

 parallel, sublateral striae deep, becoming foveate at base; punctures spar.se and 

 small, but becoming more distinct in lateral gutters. Elytra long, almost parallel- 

 sided to near apex; with rows of punctures of moderate size, becoming smaller 

 towards suture and posteriorly, interstices with minute punctures. Length, 

 2-75 mm. 



Hah. Queensland: Cairns district (A. M. Lea). Type (unique), I. 11801. 



Structurally close to S. parallelus; but prothorax entirely l)lack and elytra 

 entirely pale. 



DAULIS CIMICOIDES Er. 



In the diagnosis of Daulis the legs were noted as "basi vix distantes" and 

 abdomen as composed of "segmentis 6"; these parts not being again referred to 

 under the species. 



Several specimens before me, from Tasmania and New South Wales, probably 

 belong to the species ; their hind coxae are widely separated at the base, but the 

 middle ones are much closer together and the front ones almost touch ; the 

 abdomen at first appears to be composed of five segments only, but on one 

 specimen a minute sixth one (apparently retractile) may be seen. The elytra
