margins nearly straight and parallel, with a slender lateral 
slightly crenulated edge. The disc is not so rudely punc- 
tured as the head, the punctures placed irregularly, so as 
to leave various small polished spaces ; the disc has a slight 
central impression, widest across the centre, and a smaller 
one on each side; the hinder angles are rounded, and the 
middle of the hind margin straight. The scutellum is very 
small and triangular. The elytra are narrower than the 
prothorax in the male, with the sides nearly parallel; they 
are rugosely and irregularly punctured, and cicatricose, 
with the suture alittle elevated ; they have two ill-defined 
costz on the disc, extending from the base to beyond the 
middle; the apex of the elytra is regularly rounded. 
The legs are rather slender; the anterior tibize with seven 
or eight small teeth on the outer edge, and the four pos- 
terior tibiee with a small central spine on the outer edge. 
The female is smaller than the male, and elongate 
ovate, with the head small, and destitute of the tubercles 
of the male; the mandibles small and curved, with a 
central tooth on the inner edge. The prothorax has the 
lateral margins rounded, somewhat narrowed towards 
the head, and crenulated with a slight central depression, 
and a small smooth space on each side. The elytra are 
more ovate, quite as broad as the prothorax, the whole 
upper surface is more thickly punctured than in the 
male ; the legs are slender, the outer edge of the fore 
tibize with only five teeth. The mentum in this sex is 
wider in front than behind, and strongly punctured. 
T am indebted to Dr. Howitt for both sexes of this species, 
obtained by him from the Alps of Victoria, about sixty 
miles north-east from Melbourne, the female being very 
rare: and have adopted the manuscript name proposed 
by him for the species. I also purchased a specimen of 
the male from Mr. Du Boulay’s collection, but was unable 
to ascertain whether he had collected it himself, at Swan 
River, or had obtained it from some other collector in 
Australia.
