not very thickly sot, tlic segments 8-4 are thickened at the 

 outer edge, and, like the propygidiuin and pygidium, stand

Terelrius Wal/cerij sp. n. 



Cylindricus, nigcr, nitidiis, undique punctatus ; prosterno grosse

 pygidio apice rugoso-puuctato. 



L. l|-2 mill. 



Cylindrical, black, shining, club of antennae red, legs pitchy 

 black ; the forehead convex, punctate, punctures most scat-

 somewhat thickly ]mnctate, punctures large and with their 

 interspaces minutely strigose ; lateral striae well defined and 

 divergent from their bases; the mesosternum triangularly 

 and rather acutely produced anteriorly, stria complete, margin 

 smooth, well defined, and somewhat raised, punctured and 

 strigose like the presternum ; the raetasteruum and first 

 segment of the abdomen much more sparsely punctured and 

 the strigosity disappears, segments S-5 have a row of punc- 

 tures along their edges ; the anterior tibiae 7-8-dentate, 

 posterior ij-spiuose. 



This species is the second known from the Australian 

 region ; it seems to have been captured in company with 

 Teretriosoma somerseti, Mars. It is one of Mr. J.J, Walker's 

 most recent discoveries.
