minus crebre punctatis ; abdomine sparsim squamose punc- 

 tate. Long., 4x-5t mm. 



This species closely resembles in build the European S. an- 

 giistatiis, Er., compared with \Yhich it has longer antennae, 

 and the elytra and hind body differently punctured. The 

 colour — entirely ferruginous and testaceous, except the black 

 basal part of the penultimate segment — distinguishes it widely 

 from all the Australian species previously described. 



Not rare near Port Lincoln ; also taken by Mr. Tepper in 

 the Mount Lofty range.

P. Adelaidce, sp. nov. Eufus, capite (mandibulis exceptis) 



nigro, elytris cyaneis ; antennis elongatis gracilibus; capite 



prothoraceque sparsim fortiter punctatis, hoc subgloboso ; 



elytris angustis, prothorace vix longioribus, crebre fortiter 



grosse puuctatis, abdomine sparsim fortiter punctato. 



Long., 10 mm. 



This is a very distinct species, owing to the uniformity of 



colouring — the head and elytra excepted. Two specimens were 



taken by Mr. Pulleine in debris of the Eiver Torrens, near 



Adelaide. In one of these the knees, and in the other the 



knees and tibiae, are slightly mfuscate.
