Lea — On Australian Coleoptera 301 



liave numerous small shining spots, that, from some directions, appear to be in 

 rows, and there are some scattered, irregular, infuscated spots. 



DAULOTYPUS g-en. nov. 



Head moderately large. Eyes large, lateral, and coarsely faceted. Antennae 

 elongate, eleven- jointed, the three apical joints forming a club. Palpi rather 

 long, apical joint of maxillary pair subconicml, of labial pair securiform. Pro- 

 thorax widely transverse, a short deep groove near each side on basal half. Elytra 

 much wider than prothorax. Legs rather long; hind coxae moderately separated, 

 middle pair rather close together, front pair separated by a narrow keel and 

 with their cavities widely open posteriorly ; femora unarmed ; two basal joints 

 of tarsi rather wide, the second bilobed, third minute and scarcely distinguishable 

 from base of the claw joint. Wings present. 



Close to Baulis, but palpi longer and apical joint of labial pair of different 

 shape; the prosternum is also acutely keeled between the coxae. On specimens, 

 which are probably males, the abdomen appears to be composed of six segments, 

 of these the first is not much longer than the second, the second-fourth are sub- 

 equal in length, the fifth is fairly long at the sides but strongly incurved to 

 middle, the sixth is traceable at the sides but not at the middle ; beyond it there 

 is a process that may be an extrusible segment. On the presumed females the 

 basal segment is larger, the fifth is rounded in the middle of the apex, and the 

 sixth (unless it is an extrusible process) is rounded at the end and depressed in 

 the middle. 



DAULOTYPUS PICTICORNIS sp. nov. 



S Reddish-flavous, prothorax and parts of head, antennae and legs black 

 or infuscated. Moderately clothed with short, subdepressed, pale pubescence; 

 in addition with numerous erect setae, or short hairs. 



Head somcAvhat irregularly impressed and with irregularly distributed punc- 

 tures. Clypeus rather large, on a lower plane than interocular space. Labrum 

 large, wider than clypeus, apex bilobed ; with dense punctures. Antennae thin, 

 passing metasternum, first joint rather long, third slightly longer than fourth, 

 distinctly longer than second and slightly shorter than first, ninth and tenth 

 slightly longer than the preceding ones and dilated to their tips, eleventh slightly 

 longer than tenth and somewhat pointed . Prothorax about twice as wide as long, 

 sides narrowly margined, widest near apex, then rounded to apex, incurved 

 towards and then parallel to base ; a deep, slightly oblique impression commencing 

 near each hind angle and terminating (but shallower) near apex, obliquely 

 traversed by a shallower impression ; a narrow deep impression at base ; punctures
