Closely allied to &. Lindi, Blackb., but at once distinguishable 
by the short pubescence of the upper surface being silvery white 
(not at all fulvous), and the long sete black. From A. hirtellus, 
Crotch, it differs inter alia by its smaller size and different 
colouring.

f. Aurantii, sp. nov, Ovalis, elytris inpartibus duabus pos- 
terioribus qualiter arcuatim angustatis; subdepressus ; 
cinereo-fulvo-pubescens et setis pallidis erectis minus per- 
Spicuis vestitus; piceo-niger, capite prothorace antice et, 
ad latera elytrorum margine laterali summo antennis pedibus 
abdomineque rufis; prothorace quam longiori circiter dimidio 
latiori, antice modice angustato, lateribus sat arcuatis, 
angulis anticis rotundatis, posticis sat rectis; prothorace sat 
fortiter, elytris equaliter valde fortiter, sat crebre (fere ut 
f. lituri, Fab., sed multo magis eequaliter) punctulatis ; pro- 
sterno medio longitudinaliter depresso, spatio depresso sub- 
triangulari utrinque carinato antice vix acuto. Long., 121; 
lat., +1. 
This species has little of the facies of a Ahizobius, owing to its 
depressed form and the shape of its elytra, which widen gently 
from the base hindward for only about one-third of their length, 
and then narrow gently, continuously, and arcuately to the apex. 
Viewed from the side the insect appears only about half as high 
as most of its congeners (e.g., discolor, Er.); in its depressed form 
ft. cyaneus, Blackb., approaches it. In colouring and punctura- 
tion it approaches #. discolor, Er., but with the punctures on the 
elytra evidently more even (?.e., of more equal size and more 
equally distributed). 
N.S. Wales; Blue Mountains; also taken by Mr. Koebele in 
Queensland.
