the side. In D. viduatiis the pDrtioa of the outline corresponding 

 to the quasi-front angles of D. popiilaris is S3 rounded off that no 

 quasi-front angles appear, and therefore no other front margin 

 than the true one being observable, the segment presents the 

 appearance of being (as it really is in all the Dsretaphri) very 

 little wider across the front margin than the base.

 be the Victorian Mountains.). 



D. (dqualiceps, sp. nov. Sat elongatus ; angustus ; sat nitidus ; 

 rufo-ferrugineus ; capite convexo, pequali (nuUo modo 

 impresso), sat crebre minus fortiter punctulato ; prothorace 

 quam latiori ut 7 ad 6 longiori, supra crebre minus prof unde 

 punctulato, aliter fere ut prsecedentis {D. popidaris) sed 

 foveis subbasalibus majoribus profundioribus ; elytris fere ut 

 prsecedentis sed interstitio 3'' in parte discoidali sat fortiter 

 convexo-elevato (fere subcariniformi). Long., 3i 1.; lat., i 1.

 In the group of Derefaphri having the pronotum closely punctu- 

 late and its sulcus interrupted this species is readily distinguished 

 by the perfectly even surface of its head which has no inequal- 

 ities whatever. It also differs from them inter alia as follows, — 

 icom fossus, Newm. by its very much less prominent shoulders, 

 from Gordicollis, Blackb. by the non-cariniform sixth interstice of 

 its elytra, from papillaris, Blackb. by the much more convex 

 third interstice of its elytra, from colydioides Pasc. (?) and indeed 

 all th« others not already mentioned, — by the very much more 

 strongly defined quasi-front angles of its prothorax.
