? . Mandibles rather lonj^, acute at the apex ; clypeus 

 transverse, without a carina. Head stronj^ly but not very 

 closely punctured, much broader than the thorax, nearly 

 twice as broad as lonji,-, rounded at the posterior anjjles. 

 Pronotum fully twice as broad as long-, the sides parallel, 

 finely and closely punctured; scutelluni more strongly and 

 sparsely punctured, much narrower than the pronotum ; 

 median segment no longer than the scutellum, Hnely and 

 not very closely punctured. First dorsal segment trans- 

 versely rugose, with a deep transverse groove between the 

 carinse at the apex; second dorsal segment with five strong 

 transverse carinse, including the raised apical margin ; 

 segments 8-5 shining and sparsely punctured ; fifth ventral 

 segment coarsely rugose. Pygidium oblique, the dorsal 

 plate triangular, narrow at the base, the surface rugose ; the 

 ventral plate much longer than the dorsal and very broadly 

 rounded at the apex. Tarsi normal. 



Hab. Dorrigo, New South Wales (K. J. Tillyard) ; 

 November. 



This species can only be placed provisionally in Lepto-

(^ . Clypeus closely punctured, convex, broadly and 

 shallowly emarginate at the apex, the angles of the emargi- 

 nation produced into short spines. Head, thorax, and abdo- 

 men closely punctured ; antennte shorter than the thorax 

 and median segment combined, slightly narrowed to the 

 apex, the apical joints very feebly arcuate beneath. Inter- 

 antennal carina almost transverse, a low frontal carina 

 almost reaching the anterior ocellus. Anterior margin of 

 the pronotum transverse, the angles not prominent. Dorsal 

 surface of the median segment as long as the scutellum, the
