$. Antennal tubercles well developed, rounded; second joint of 

 the flagellum distinctly longer than the thnd. Head a little 

 narrower than the thorax, rounded at the posterior angles; finely 

 and closely punctured on the vertex, more deeply but not so closely 

 on the front; Eyes nearer to the posterior margin of the head than 

 to the base of the mandibles, round and strongly convex. Thorax 

 a little less than half as long again as the greatest breadth, broadly 

 rounded on the anterior margin, slightly narrowed posteriorly, 

 longitudinally rugose striate on the basal two-thirds, coarsely rugose 

 on the apical third; the posterior slope almost vertical, coarsely 

 rugose, with two minute lateral teeth close to the basal angles. 

 Second dorsal segment finely longitudinally rugose, about one-third 

 longer than the greatest breadth, the sides moderately convex. 

 Pygidial area very narrowly rounded at the apex, finely longi- 

 tudinally striate on the basal half. Hind tibiae with two rows of 

 four rather feeble spines. 



Hah. N. Queensland, Townsville (J^. P. Dodd), Novem- 

 ber and June. 



Near E. vittigem, Andre, a variety of which occurs in 

 October in the same locality. It differs in the sculpture 

 of the thorax, which does not run into striae in vittigera, 

 in the absence of fulvous hairs on the thorax, in the ferru- 

 ginous colour of the head and thorax, in the feebler spines 

 of the hind tibiae, and in the colour of the tarsi ; it is also 

 a smaller species. 



Ephutomorpha unilinsata, sp. n. 



$. Nigra; capite fusco-ferrugineo, fronte et vertice nigro in- 

 taminatis; scapo fusco; flagello infra pallide testaceo; thorace 

 rufo-ferrugineo, brevi, latitudine vix longiore; segmento dorsali 

 primo fascia apicali pallide lutea; segmentis dorsalibus 2-5 fascia 

 mediana longitudinali continua albopilosa; area pygidiali late 

 triangulari, longitudinaliter striata ; calcaribus pallidis. 



Long. 5 mm. 



$. Antennal tubercles rather large, with a low transverse carina 

 between them; second joint of the flagellum short, no longer than 

 the third. Eyes round, strongly convex, situated nearer to the 

 hind margin of the head than to the base of the mandibles. Head 

 narrower than the thorax, broadly rounded posteriorly; the front 

 rugose, the vertex closely punctured. Thorax closely punctured 

 rugose, scarcely longer than the greatest breadth, slightly narrowed 

 from the middle both anteriorly and posteriorly, the anterior margin 

 straight, the posterior slope almost vertical, shallowly rugose,
