Arsipada fulvicollis. 



A. clongato-ovata, postice paullo attenuata, convcxa, pallide picea ; 

 antennis cxtrorsum, vertice abdornincque nigris ; thorace obscure 

 fulvo ; clytris cupreo-aineis, tonuiter punctato-striatis, striis ante 

 medium indistinctis, iutcrspatiis distiiicte punctatis, pone medium 

 convexiusculis. 



Long. 2 2 liu. 



Hab, Adelaide. 



Face irregularly wrinkled, vertex finely but not very closely 

 punctured ; antenna? moderately robust, shorter than half the 

 length of the body, slightly thickened towards their apex; basal 

 four joints pale piceous, the rest black. Thorax twice as broad 

 as long, sides narrowed and rounded from base to apex, anterior 

 angles thickened ; surface of disk very finely and rather closely 

 punctured ; impressions of thorax obsolete. Elytra sub])aral!el 

 in front, slightly narrowed posteriorly, their apex rounded ; 

 surface finely punctate-striate, the punctures placed irregularly 

 on the striaj; interspaces impressed with punctures nearly equal 

 in size to those of the stride themselves : these render the rows 

 on the anterior half of the disk confused and difficult to define ; 

 on the hinder disk, where the stria; are slightly sulcate and their 

 interspaces rather convex, they are much more distinct. Under 

 surface of body clothed with coarse griseous hairs. 



Arsipoda femorata. 



A. elongato-ovata, ])Ostice paullo attenuata, cupreo-acnca, nitida, 

 subtus piceo-icnca ; antennis (basi obscure fulva exccpta) j)fdibus- 

 que nigris ; fcmoribus fulvis ; thorace crebre puiictato, basi utrin- 

 que imprcsso, sulco transverso obsolcto ; clytris cupreo-violaccis, 

 tenuissime punctatis, distinctc punctato-striatis, striis postice de- 

 letis ; tibiis posticis extrorsum vix curvatis. 



Long. 2^ lin. 



Hab. Adelaide. 



Narrowly ovate, slightly narrowed towards the aj)ex ; front 

 flattened, slightly depressed, distinctly punctured ; antenna; 

 scarcely longer than half the body, robust, subfiliform. Thorax 

 about twice as broad as long ; sides narrowly margined, obliquely 

 converging and slightly rounded from base to apex ; anterior 

 angles thickened, obtuse ; surface closely and distinctly punc- 

 tured, basal margin impressed on cither side with a short, deep, 

 slightly curved longitudinal groove. Elytra ovate, narrowed 



names, substriata and attenuata : the latter being the $ , I have retained 

 that name for the sjjecies. Tlie t? , hke the same sex of Arsipoda bifrons, 

 has the hinder femora toothed beneath : this is probably also the case with 

 some of the other sj)ccies; but^ unfortunately, most of them are known to 

 us by single sjieciraeus only.
