darker ground colour so gradually tliat it is difficult to say 

 where they end. This insect resembles the preceding in the 

 possession of similar setiferous tubercles, but its strong con 

 vexity, thorax much less narrowed behind, strongly marked 

 strife on either side of the elytral suture, different colour, and 

 larger size, make it appear almost generically distinct. 



It is found about 40 miles north of Port Lincoln on damp 

 ground. 



T. AdeIaidcp,S'p.i\OY. Elongatus ; sat convexus ; nitidus; piceus, 



sub-iridescens ; antennis palpis labro pedibus et elytrorum 



apice testaceis, prothorace rufescenti ; antennis sat elon-

lateribus post medium distincte sinuatis, angulis posticis 



subrectis; elytris subparallelis, sat convexis ; striis trinis 



prope suturam distincte impressis, ceteris obsoletis ; stria 



recurva minus arcuata minus for titer impressa. Long.,

This species has the setiferous punctures on the elytra as in 



the preceding species, except that the anterior one is much 



nearer the base. It resembles T. Lindi rather strongly, but 



differs in its iridescence, in the absence of pale markings on 



the elytra, except obscurely at the extreme apex; in the decided 



(though delicate) sinuation of the sides of the thorax close to 



the base, in the three stri^ of the elytra being nearly of equal 



sculpture (though they are all fainter than those nearest to the 



suture in T. Lindi), in the recurved stria on the elytra being 



less strongly impressed and less arched, and its more elongate 



form, which is scarcely so convex, &c. 



I have taken a single specimen at Woodville, near Adelaide. 

 It was flying in the evening. 



T. uiiiformis, sp. nov. Elongatus; minus convexus; nitidus; 

 rufo-piceus, palpis mandibulis antennarum basi pedibusque 

 sordide-rufis, elytrorum sutura plus minusve rufescenti; 

 antennis gracilibus minus elongatis ; prothorace canali- 

 culato antice parum angustato ; lateribus prope basin sat 

 f ortiter sinuatis, angulis posticis prominulis obtusis ; 

 elytris sat parallelis minus convexis ; striis binis prope 

 suturam distincte impressis, ceteris obsoletis ; stria re- 

 curva arcuata impressa. Long., 2i mm. 

 The setiferous punctures on the elytra are not very con- 

 spicuous in this species unless the set» are present, it bears 

 a good deal of resemblance to the preceding, but is much 

 smaller, and of a dark uniform colour in general appearance, 

 the reddening of the suture being never very conspicuous, and 

 in some examples scarcely traceable. The thorax, as in the 

 preceding two species, is strongly transverse, and only mode-
