414 Mr. A. M. Lea on 



Eristinus flavipes, sp. n. 



Black; rostrum, antennae, and legs flavous ; head, disc 

 of protliorax, apex, and shoulders of elytra diluted with red. 

 Clothed with rather sparse whitish hairs, moderately dense 

 only at sides of meso- and of metasternum ; elytra with very 

 short but fairly distinct pubescence. 



Head with fairly numerous distinct punctures. Eyes 

 separated almost the width of rostrum at base. Rostrum 

 shaped as in preceding species, basal half Avith fairly nume- 

 rous distinct punctures, as those between eyes, but smaller 

 elsewhere. Protliorax with dense and rather coarse punc- 

 tures, and an irregular median line. Elytra with rows of 

 distinct punctures, rather coarse at base, and becoming 

 smaller posteriorly ; the interstices each with a row of small 

 but distinct punctures. 



Length 1| ram. 



Hab. New South Wales : Sydney. 



In general appearance close to the preceding species, but 

 with much coarser punctures (except on under surface) and 

 elytra with fine but fairly distinct clothing, and with striation 

 more defined, although still very feeble ; the legs are also 

 somewhat thinner. 



Eristinus sohrinus, sp. n. 



Dark reddish brown ; antennse (club darker), tibiffi, and 

 tarsi of a rather dingy flavous. Clothed with whitish 

 pubescence, shorter on elytra and denser on sides of meso- 

 and of metasternum than elsewhere. 



Head and rostrum with sculpture much as in preceding 

 species. Prothorax with very dense and rather coarse 

 punctures ; without a median line. Elytra parallel-sided to 

 beyond the middle ; with rows of large round punctures, 

 becoming smaller posteriorly; interstices each witli a row of 

 small but distinct punctures. 



Length 1^ mm. 



Hab. Que'ensland: Cairns {C.J. Wild). 



A dingy species readily distinguished from the others by 

 its dark femora ; the punctures on its under surface are also 

 coarser. Its prothoracic punctures ai'e rather smaller than 

 in the preceding species, but denser. The rows of punctures 

 on the elytra are very distinct, but the striation is feeble. 



Antyllis variabilis, sp. n. 

 Reddish castaueous, tip of rostrum, club, and claws darker.
