224 Major T. Broun on new Genera and 



fuscous, the prevailing tint of tlie elytra, which have rufes- 

 cent margins ; tibiae fulvescent, the tarsi, palpi, and antennae 

 yellow, but the triarticulate club is infuscate, opaque, and 

 densely pubescent. 



Head not very closely, very finely, yet quite definitely 

 pnnctate. Thorax transverse, finely marginate, gently 

 curvedly narrowed towards the slightly obtuse anterior 

 angles, its sculpture not appreciably different from that of 

 the head, with two small punctiform impressions near the 

 base. Scutellum rather large, not quite smooth. Elytra 

 finely punctured, with well-marked sutural striae behind and 

 several series of distinct punctures which, behind and near 

 the sides, almost form strite ; the margins, though fine, are 

 distinct, but not at all explanate behind as in A. allulus. 



Underside subopaqne, piceous, more rufescent in front; 

 ventral segments very minutely sculptured and finely pubes- 

 cent ; the moderately convex subtriangular middle portion 

 of the metasternum finely, yet evidently but not closely 

 punctured and a little glossy, its flanks dull and closely 

 sculptured. Posterior femora minutely, indistinctly, and 

 irregularly strigose, Avith very few minute punccures ; the 

 other pairs pubescent. Tarsi very sparingly setose under- 

 neath, second joint of the posterior evidently longer than the 

 exposed portion of the first. Prosternal and abdominal 

 carinse well developed. 



A. montanus most nearly resembles this species, but can be 

 easily recognized by the numerous well-developed spiniform 

 setae along the outer face of all the tibife, particularly of the 

 intermediate pair, whereas in A. australis there are very few, 

 and these not at all conspicuous.

 specimens. 



Adolopus tibialis, sp. n. 

 Oblong-oval, only moderately convex, slightly nitid, gla- 

 brous, nigrescent, tibiae and elytral margins red; tarsi, palpi, 

 and antennae yellow ; club fuscous, the head and sides of 

 thorax obscurely rufescent. 



Head finely but not closely punctate. Thorax transverse, 

 very gradually narrowed anteriorly, finely margined, its 

 punctuation fine, distinct, but not close. Elytra with sculp- 

 ture similar to that of the thorax, but in addition with 

 series of coarser punctures near the sides ; none of these, 

 however, reach ihe base; on the disk the serial punctures 

 are very much finer, those near the suture becoming quite 

 obsolete utar the base ; all are coarse at the apex, where the 

 sutural row on each elytron become striate.
