GO Dr. Malcolm Cameron on 



exceedingly fine groove in middle line posteriorly, feebly impressed 

 on either side; puncturation not so fine as on the head, sparing 

 and unequal, leaving a smooth irnpunctate median line; sides 

 with long yellowish setae; ground-sculpture longitudinal, strigose, 

 scarcely visible. Legs reddish-testaceous. Scutellum coriaceous, 

 with three or four minute punctures. Elytra about one-third 

 longer than, and as wide as, the thorax, scarcely transverse, on 

 either side of the suture with a fine stria ; puncturation fine and 

 sparing as on the thorax, and, moreover, with a row of four larger 

 (especially the posterior pair) setiferous punctures parallel to the 

 stria, and three others on the middle of the disc ; sides setiferous ; 

 ground-sculpture fine, coriaceous. Abdomen pitchy, the whole of 

 the last and the posterior margins of the rest of the segments 

 ferruginous; without punctures, except for the setiferous ones; 

 ground-sculpture distinct, coriaceous. 



Hab. Woodlands, under bark. 



3. Lispinus minutus, n. sp. 



Pitchy-brown, head black; shining, coriaceous, impunctate. 

 Antennae and legs testaceous. Length l - 7 mm. 



Head (including the eyes) a little broader than long, anterior 

 margin of the front very feebly emarginate, distinctly impressed on 

 either side; eyes rather large and prominent; sculpture coriaceous, 

 without trace of punctures, glabrous. Antennae moderate, the first 

 three joints subequal in length, decreasing in breadth, 4th monili- 

 form, 5th and 6th scarcely broader than long, 7th to 10th transverse* 

 gradually increasing in breadth, 11th short, oval. Thorax a little 

 transverse, a little narrower than the head (with eyes), broadest at 

 the anterior angles, sides almost parallel to the posterior third, 

 moderately constricted from thence to the rectangular posterior 

 angles; disc with a very narrow smooth median line throughout, 

 anterior margin on either side with a setiferous fovea, posterior 

 angles scarcely impressed; ground-sculpture coriaceous, a few 

 scarcely visible punctures traceable. Elytra longer than broad, 

 nearly half as long again as the thorax, obsoletely impressed on either 

 side of the sutural stria, and each with two minute foveae ; sculpture 

 as on the thorax. Abdomen pitchy, last segment entirely, the 

 posterior margins of the others, narrowly, reddish-testaceous; 

 sculpture coriaceous, no punctures other than the usual setiferous, 

 ones.
