370 MISCELLANEA ENTOMOLOGICA, 



I have only seen the worker of this species. It seems to 

 differ somewhat in the size and position of the eye from F. Smith's 

 description of the genus. 



For the attendant beetle 1 propose the name of 



Tmesiphorus formicinus. 



Long. Ij lin. 



Piceo-rufus dense punctulatus aureo-pubescens, capite convexo 



bipunctato, thorace convexo rotundato, elytris convexis 



leviter bisulcatis, abdomine marginato postice bicarinato. 



This species differs from T. Kinrjii mihi, in being of a lighter 



colour, finer puncturation, less deep sculpture, denser pubescence 



less elongate thorax, and in having the 9th and 10th joints of the 



antennsB of equal size. From the only other Australian species of 



the genus T. Macleayi King, it differs in being of a darker colour 



denser puncturation, denser pubescence, and in having the thorax 



more round and less elongate.
