Reddish brown, head nearly black, elytra with a metallic lustre. Parallel-sided, 

 elongate, head finely and not closely punctured, thorax rather densely, elytra with 

 deei)ly imjn-essed rows of punctures. Antenna? with a loosely three-jointed club, the 

 two preceding joints very slightly widened. Eyes moderately finely facetted. Prothorax 

 rather longer than wide, Avith the sides hardly perceptibly curved and slightly ap- 

 ]iroximating behind. Elytra truncate at the extreme apex.

Pectinicornia. 



LUCAXID.E. 



ITomoderiis johnstoni, s]). n. 



? . Elongate ovate, moderately convex, cinnamon-brown, dull, slightly shining on 

 the sutures of the elytra only. Antennae and mandibles black. Head black in jiarts ; 

 closely and very coarsely ptunctured (more so than in //. mellyi). Thorax finely rugose, 

 with fine punctures intermixed ; the punctures on the front margin and at the hind 

 angles are more distinct. The margins are edged with black ; there is a rather large 

 black spot on each side of the disk, and there is a small lateral s]iot. There is a lightly 

 impressed, but distinct mesial line. Scutalum black, shining. Elytra with the suture 

 and the basal and lateral margins narrowly edged with black ; the whole surface 

 rendered dull by the extremely close, fine punctuation. Under side of the body black, 

 with a small obscure red spot on each side of the metasternum. Femora black, with a 

 red line beneath. Tibife red, with the spurs and the extreme base black. Tarsi black. 



Compared with the ? of //. melb/i, this species is rather broader. The thorax is 

 somewhat of the same form, but is less emarginate at the sides before the lateral tooth. 

 The anterior tibia? are much broader ; coarsely punctured. The labium is more trans- 

 verse : the front margin scarcely produced forward in the middle.
