collected in Australia and Tasmania. OWL 
very finely, confusedly punctate, here and there very distinctly 
transversely wrinkled, and with numerous interrupted darker lines 
resembling faint strize ; legs rufo-testaceous. Length 3;—34 mm. 
Hab. Tasmania—Hobart. 
Two specimens, found under bark. .This insect agrees 
with the description (so far as it goes) of Lindia 
angusta, Blackb., from Port Lincoln, except as regards 
the form of the antenne: as long as the head and thorax 
together in LZ. angusta, very little longer than the middle 
of the head in J. tasmanica. Narrower and smaller than 
the European LF. tetraphylla, Fairm. (= ficicola, Muls.), 
the upper surface much more finely punctured. ‘The 
elytral punctuation is confused, but in certain positions 
indistinct rows of punctures are visible. The dark 
lines apparently show through from beneath. The size 
of L. angusta is not mentioned by its describer.*

Two species of this widely-distributed genus have 
already been described from Australia. 
Arrhenoplita pygmea, un. sp. 
¢. Oblong, very convex, castaneous or rufo-testaceous, shin- 
ing, finely pubescent. Head short, very shining, smooth and 
depressed between the eyes, armed on either side above the point 
of insertion of the antennz with a very long, erect, nearly straight 
horn, the epistoma very short, limited behind by a deep groove ; 
the eyes black, large, very coarsely granulated, almost entire ; 
antennz short, not nearly reaching the base of the prothorax, 
joints 3—6 slender, very short, 7—11 greatly widened and forming 
a large 5-jointed club, 7—10 perfoliate, strongly transverse, equal in 
width, 11 very short, much narrower than 10 and closely articu- 
lated to it ; prothorax tranversely convex, nearly twice as broad as 
long, rounded at the sides, densely, finely punctate and with a 
smooth central line ; elytra about two and a half times longer than 
the prothorax, confusedly punctured, the punctures a little coarser 
* The specific name is preoccupied, Hypophleus angustus, Luce., 
from Algeria, being a Lyphia (cf. Bedel, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1887, 
pid),
