XII. Descriptions of new Coleoptera from Australia. 
By Cuas. O. WATERHOUSE. 
[Read 5th July, 1875.] 
Havine recently been engaged in naming a series of 
Coleoptera, added to the British Museum Collection from 
Port Bowen, I have noted a large number of new species 
and some new genera. This paper contains as many 
descriptions as I have been able to prepare up to the 
present time.

Head large, slightly narrowed behind the eyes, dis- 
tinctly and not very thickly punctured; labrum yellow.

The elytra are scarcely longer than the head and thorax 
taken together, very broad. behind, at the base a little 
narrower than the broadest part of the thorax; very 
sparingly punctured, the apical half black, the apex of 
each elytron rounded, especially on the outer side. The 
punctuation of the abdomen is very delicate, not very 
thick on the basal segments, but closer on the apical one.
