I have much pleasure in dedicating this species to a gentleman who has devoted a great share of his 
attention whilst in Australia to the collection of minute and singular species of Coleoptera, including also the 
following species (exhibited at the same Meeting of the Society by Mr. Pascoe ; see Proceedings, 1869, p. xv).

lato; humeris acute elevatis et sinuatis, parte dimidia postica striolis numerosissimis obsita; antennarum clava

Of this remarkable insect M. Du Boulay only obtained a single individual, so that I have not been able to 
examine the parts of the mouth, the head being entirely retracted within the prothoracie cavity. The antenne 
have the basal joint compressed and somewhat kidney-shaped, the following joint being attached below the apex; 
this second joint is longer than thick, having, as it seemed, a transverse impression close to the base (if, indeed, 
the minute basal portion be not the real second joint); the following joint is slightly longer than thick, but the 
five following are very short and transverse. The club is elongate, narrow, slightly curved, with the sides 
nearly parallel, and rounded at the top. When at rest, the antennw, including the terminal joint, are received 
within the fossulated anterior angles of the prothorax, outside the lateral parts of the head. The palpi must be 
very minute, as no portion of them could be perceived in the unique individual examined, although small spaces, 
evidently the labium and mandibles, were visible. The prothorax is transverse, very much broader than the 
head, and nearly as broad as the shoulders of the elytra; it is covered with minute elongated setigerous punc- 
tures; the fore margin is acutely elevated, with the lateral angles excavated beneath for the reception of the 
antennz ; the lateral margins are very slightly curved. The elytra are large and subquadrate, very irregular on 
their dorsal surface, especially the anterior half, the middle of which forms a deep and nearly square impression, 
the shoulders gradually elevated into a sinuated ridge, outside of the centre of which is a deep cireular im- 
pression only visible when the body is seen laterally. The impressed portion is marked beyond the scutellar 
region (the scutellum itself being wanting) by two deep curved lines, near the outer termination of each of which 
is a patch of short luteous sete, the space between which and the hind margin of the pronotum is occupied by a 
triangular raised space on each elytron, which is separated from the humeral region by a longitudinal line; this 
basal portion of the elytra is rudely punctured, but their terminal half is covered with very delicate longitudinal 
striol, each elytron having a raised boss near the lateral margin opposite the hind femora. The legs are long, 
but, in consequence of the depth or the thickness of the body, they fold up and le against the sides of the sterna 
when at rest, the tarsi folding back, and being received in the long groove in each tibiz, which reaches as far as 
the external angle with which each is provided. The prosternum is greatly dilated in front, and truncated 
behind, separating the fore legs from each other by a narrow space. The mesosternum is very short and trans-
