Hypattalus alphabeticus, Lea, I.e., p. 579. {Fig. 15L) 



The type of this species is a female ; in the table it is 

 placed with those having the front femora simple in the 

 male, as although differently coloured to any species of 

 either section it is evidently not structurally close to any 

 of the species having the front femora distorted.*

Hypattalus mucronatus, n. sp. {Figs. 106,119.) 



$ Black ; elytra metallic-blue '(or green) ; pro thorax, front 

 tibiae (wholly or in part) and parts of three basal joints of antennae 

 flavous. 



jBTeac? impunctate, with several very shallow impressions. Antennae 

 rather long and thin, obtusely serrate internally. Elytra, except 

 near base and apex, densely and moderately coarsely punctate ; sides 

 and suture (except on basal fourth) thickened, with the sides up- 

 turned along a lateral channel. Front legs with strongly projecting 

 and obtusely pointed trochanters ; femora strongly curved ; tibiae 

 curved at base and somewhat angular ; hind tibiae notched at apex. 



Length 3| ( ? 4) mm. 



$ . Diflfers in having simple front legs ; the elytra rather more 

 densely and irregularly punctate, the sides and the suture less 



* Since this was written I have seen what is evidently the male, 

 it differs in being larger (3 mm.) and in having the antennae pecti- 

 nate, much as in the male of dispar. It is unique in Mr. R. Helms' 

 collection, and was taken by him on the Macleay Eiver.
