106 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH, 



106. — Amblttelus amplipennis. n. sp. 

 Length 5 lines. 



Reddish brown, nitid . Head flat, with two broad impressions 

 between the eyes. Thorax scarcely broader than the head, 

 nearly square, the anterior angles obtuse, the posterior acute, the 

 median line distinctly marked, the basal impressions broad and 

 very deep, and the surface marked with transverse strioliB, which 

 become more profound towards the base. Elytra narrowest at 

 the shoulders, widest near the apex, which is broadly rounded ; 

 marked with light faintly punctured striee, and with the interstices 

 broad and nearly flat. The under surface and legs are of a 

 lighter hue. 



This insect ought perhaps to constitute another genus. The 

 median tooth of the mentum, though large, is not nearly so much 

 so as that of Amblytelus is said to be, and the form of the thorax 

 is also very difierent, but the general resemblance and evident 

 affinity are very great. 



107. — Amblttelus minutds. n. sp. 

 Length 2 1 lines. 

 In colouring and marking almost identical with the last 

 species, it difiers in being very minute, in having the facial impres- 

 sions more profound and linear, and in having the thorax with a 

 larger and more reflexed lateral margin, and less profound basal 

 impressions. 



108. — Lesticus chloronotus, Chaud. Ann. de la 

 Soc. Ent. Belg. T, xi. 



109. TiBARISUS ATER. n. Sp. 



Length 7| lines. 

 Black, nitid. Head smooth with two longitudinal impressions 

 on each side, one extending from the eyes to the root of the 

 mandibles, the other, — a broader impression, — situated between 

 and rather in front of the eyes. Thorax square, truncate behind 

 and nearly so in front, slightly rounded at the sides and narrowly
