14 DESCRIPTION OF ANTHICIDES OF AUSTRALIA, 



Sp. 23. A myrteus. 

 Pubescens politus punctatus capite nigro ; thorace piceo aut 

 ferrugineo, bisinviato, ad basin plerumque bitnberculato ; 

 elytris piceo-brunneis bifasciatis lateribus sub-convexis ; 

 femoribus piceis ad basin ferrugineis. 

 Long. .10. 



Paramatta ; Gawler. 

 This species appears to have a wide range. Specimens 

 which I have received from Mrs. Kreusler, captured in South 

 Australia, are not to be distinguished from Paramatta specimens. 

 It frequents flowers, and is very common among the Leptospermim 

 and Bursaria when in bloom. I also frequently find it on roses. 



The antennee are rufous at the base, but piceous at the four 

 last joints. The base of the thorax is sometimes so deeply 

 punctured as to appear almost foveolate. The fascise on the 

 elytra sometimes cover the greater portion of the surface. 



Sp. 24. A. cjlaber. 

 Totus castaneus glaberrimus minutissime punctatus capite 

 rotundato ; antennis subclavatis : thorace vix ad basin 

 tuberculato ; elytrorum marginibus extei'ioribus piceis. 

 Long. .08. 



Gawler ; South Australia. 

 This species belongs to the same division with A. comptus, 

 from which it is distinguished by the roundness of its head as 

 well as its colour. I can discover no trace of setas or pubescence 

 with a strong lens. The antennte are more clavate than usual ; 

 the last three joints gradually increasing in size. 



Sp. 25. A. intricatus. 



Ferrugineus glaber ; thorace antice transverse rotundato 

 postice contracto intricate ; elytris brevibus lateribus con- 

 vexis punctatis flavo-ferrugineis et medium et ad apicem 

 piceomaculatis lineis suturalibus notatis.
