Hob. Tasmania. The type in my collection and that of 

 Dr. Chapuis ; var. A in my own cabinet. 



Head impressed on either side above the eye with a few 

 deep fovege ; encarpje subquadrate, oblique, their inner angles 

 contiguous ; carina thickened, elongate ; antennae rather more 

 than half the length of the body, filiform, the four lower joints 

 obscure rufous, the rest nigro-piceous or entirely black. 

 Thorax twice as broad as long ; sides straight and nearly 

 parallel from the base to the middle, thence obliquely con- 

 verging to the apex, the anterior angles produced, thickened, 

 obtuse, the hinder ones nearly rectangular ; basal margin 

 transversely truncate on either side, the median lobe produced, 

 obtusely rounded ; upper surface rather closely punctured, 

 more or less stained on the disk with piceous ; basal groove 

 deeply impressed, entire, bounded on either side by a perpen- 

 dicular impression. Elytra narrowly oblong-ovate, rather 

 broader than the thorax, coarsely punctate-striate, the inter- 

 spaces faintly wrinkled, distinctly punctured. Hinder femora 

 unarmed ; hinder tibite about equal in length to the femora, 

 slightly curved and slightly sulcate on the upper edge ; basal
