new Species of Histeridee. 353 
not very thickly set, the segments 3-4 are thickened at the 
outer edge, and, like the propygidium and pygidium, stand 
out one from another; on tbe first segment there is a short 
intercoxal lateral sulcus. 
Hab, Perak (low country). 
Teretrius Walkert, sp. n. 
Cylindricus, niger, nitidus, undique punctatus; prosterno grosse 
punctato et minute strigoso ; metasterno parum sparse punctato ; 
pygidio apice rugoso-punctato. 
L. 12-2 mill. 
Cylindrical, black, shining, club of antenne red, legs pitchy 
black ; the forehead convex, punctate, punctures most scat- 
tered on the disk; the thorax similarly punctured, stria 
complete, strong at the sides, especially behind the middle, - 
very fine anteriorly ; the elytra with like punctures, mar- 
gined at the base, with a small smooth space behind the 
humeral angle; the propygidium and pygidium are clearly 
and rather densely punctured, the apical half of the latter is 
impressed, strigose, and more densely pointed ; the prosternum 
somewhat thickly punctate, punctures large and with their 
interspaces minutely strigose ; lateral striee well defined and 
divergent from their bases; the mesosternum triangularly 
and rather acutely produced anteriorly, stria complete, margin 
smooth, well defined, and somewhat raised, punctured and 
strigose like the prosternum; the metasternum and _ first 
segment of the abdomen much more sparsely punctured and 
the strigosity disappears, segments 3-5 have a row of punc- 
tures along their edges; the anterior tibie 7-8-dentate, 
posterior 3-spinose. 
This species is the second known from the Australian 
region; it seems to have been captured in company with 
Teretriosoma somerseti, Mars. Itis one of Mr. J.J. Walker’s 
most recent discoveries. 
Hab. Tasmania, Hobart, and Launceston (J. J. Walker). 
Onthophilus tuberculatus, sp. n. 
Suborbicularis, convexiusculus, niger, subopacus; elytris 6-costatis, 
143” interruptis, 5* valida, integra ; propygidio tuberculato., 
Te 22 mill. 
Suborbicular, rather convex, black, and somewhat opaque ; 
the forehead is punctate, with a median carina before the 
neck, and in front of the carina is an elevated ridge shaped 
like an inverted V, thus 4$; the thorax, margin clearly
