164 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH, 



much longer than the breadth, and very shghtly narrowed behind, 

 with the median, line deeply impressed in the middle, but not 

 extending to the apical and basal margins, and with an indistinct 

 fovea near the basal part of the lateral margin. Elytra truncate 

 at the apex and slightly notched at the external angles. Legs 

 and underside of body closely punctured. The four anterior 

 tibi«e have the external apical angle acute, and the apex deeply 

 emarginate, the posterior ai^e i-ather more obtusely angled. 



265. — Aethropteeds angdsticoenis. n. sp. 

 Length 5| lines. 



Of a piceous brown colour and nitid. Antenna) narrow, the 

 first joint square with the angles obtuse, the second to the ninth 

 inclusive twice as broad as the length, the last equal in length to 

 the two preceding united. Head depressed on the vertex and 

 coarsely punctured, with a prominent ciliated tubercle at the pos- 

 terior angles, and the base truncate. Thorax subcordiform, 

 coarsely and transversely punctured, and with the median line 

 lightly impressed in the middle. Elytra thinly and finely punc- 

 tured, and truncate at the apex, with two small notches at each 

 external angle. Body beneath and legs thinly punctured. All 

 the tibise have the external apical angle very acute. 



This species seems to approach the A. liarallelocerus of West- 

 wood. 



266.— Artheopterds Kingii. n. sp. 

 Length 5 1 lines. 

 This species differs from the last in being of a pitchy red colour, 

 in having no depression on the top of the head, in the tubercle at 

 the posterior angles of the head being much smaller, in the thorax 

 being more ciliated on the sides and having the median line more 

 marked, in the external apical angles of the tibiae being less acute, 

 and in the narrower form of the whole body. The antennae are 

 of the same character as those of A . angusticornis. 



267. — Artheopterus elongatulus. n. sp. 

 Length 4 lines. 

 Long, narrow, of a reddish colour, subnitid and punctate.
