stout, comiDressed, dilated to apex : coarsely punctate at sidevS 

 and distinctly but not coarsely elsewhere. Frothorax with 

 moderately small and not dense punctures, larger on flanks 

 than on disc. Elytra cordate ; at sides and near suture feebly 

 striate, elsewhere scarcely visibly so ; near base, especially 

 about suture, with rows of rather large, round, distant punc- 

 tures, disappearing before the middle, a few punctures about 

 shoulders, elsewhere impunctate. Mesosterniim with inter- 

 coxal process depressed between coxae, raised transverse and 

 narrow in front, and its sides angularly produced to front 

 coxae : side pieces with larger punctures than elsewhere, Py- 

 f/idivm densely and strongly punctate. Fcjnorn feebly groov- 

 ed and feebly bidentate. the teeth level, subequal in size, and 

 marking the termination of the ridges bordering the grooves. 

 Length, 2f mm. 



Hah. — Queensland : Endeavour River CMacleav Mu- 

 seum). 



Remarkably close in general appearance to Bar'm ehe- 

 71/ na, but the prosternum with a deep pectoral canal. The 

 intercoxal process of the mesosternum on a first glance ap- 

 pears to form part of the prosternum. 



SOLENOBAEIS EDENTATA, U. Sp. 



Black, shining, upper surface with a bluish gloss. Glab- 

 rous. 



Head rather sparsely and finely punctate. Eyes rather 

 larger and closer together than in the preceding species. Fos- 

 frum almost parallel-sided, punctate at sides. Frothorax 

 longer than in preceding species ; moderately strongly punc- 

 tate, punctures not much larger on sid:es than on disc. 

 Elytra rather longer than in the preceding species, all the 

 stride traceable : punctures much as in the preceding species, 

 but larger. Intercoxal process of menoaterriiini transverse and 

 feebly concave, side pieces with larger punctures than else- 

 where. Femora very feebly grooved and edentate. Length, 

 1^ mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Barron Falls (x\. Koeljele). 



In many respects different to the preceding species, but 

 with the same deep and sharply limited pectoral canal. A 

 second specimen differs from the tvpe in being slightly 

 smaller, with larger punctures and with a bronzy gloss.
