its name does not occur in Mr. Masters' catalogue. I have, 

 however, taken it not uncommonly near Port Lincoln, generally 

 under tlie bark of Hiicaly^tus. 



L. costatiijennis, sp. nov. Sat nitidus ; minus elongatus ; con- 

 yexus ; brunneus ; antennis brevibus ; capite longitudinal- 

 iter canaliculato ; prothorace areolato pone medium con- 

 stricto ; ely tris iucTqualibus sat crasse seriatim punctulatis ; 

 interstitiis alternis subregulariter costatis. Long. 11. 

 AntenucT of tbe length of the thorax ; basal joint large, the 

 second a half smaller, joints three to eight much smaller still 

 and subequal, nine and ten cor siderably larger and produced 

 on the inner side, scarcely diiferent from each other in size ; 

 apical^ joint about double the size of the tenth, equal to the 

 basal joint, obliquely truncate at apex; head rather roughly and 

 coarsely punctured, with a median channel ; thorax moderately 

 constricted behind the middle, its length and breadth scarcely 

 differing, widest across the front, its anterior angles somewhat 

 rounded but by no means effaced, its surface intersected by 

 costse (the interspaces of which are for the most part concave), 

 there being a well-marked wavy costa on either side of the 

 median line, another well marked formings the lateral marojin, 

 and some obscure ones besides ; elytra with a vague transverse 

 depression a little behind the base, and another immediately 

 before the middle, marked with rows of rather large coarse 

 punctures, the alternate interstices being sharply and evenly 

 cariniform ; the first and third of the costie thus formed unit- 

 ing at the apex, the second much shorter. 



This insect bears much resemblance to L. nocUfer, from which 

 I observe the following distinctions : — The thorax is compara- 

 tively wider in front, with better marked anterior angles, and 

 on the elytra the interstices of the rows of punctures are alter- 

 nately quite flat and evenly keeled. From many other species 

 of the genus it is distinguished by the two transverse depressed 

 spaces (one behind the other) in the front part of the elytra. 



I have taken a single specimen in "W^estern Victoria. 

 L. satelles, sp. nov. Minus nitidus; minus elongatus; convexus ; 

 brunneus ; antennis brevibus ; capite longitudinaliter 

 canaliculato ; prothorace areolato, pone medium constricto ; 

 elytris 8equalibus crasse seriatim punctulatis ; interstitiis 

 alternis regulariter costatis. Long. -f-ll. 

 Yery closely allied to the preceding, but I think certainly 

 distinct. The elytra are entirely devoid of transverse depres- 

 sions, and have evidently larger punctures forming the longi- 

 tudinal rows, and the alternate non-carinate interstices are not 

 quite so flat and shining. The colour varies from dark blackish 

 brown to light brownish testaceous. In the darker examples
