Thanasimus rufimanus, n. sp. 



Niger, iiitidus, pilosus, antennis, palpis tibiis anticis, tarsisque 

 quatuor priniis rufis, elytris apice fulvo puhescenti. Long. lin. 4. 



Head rather narrower than thorax, eyes linely granulate, 

 labium, palpi, and anteniue clear red, latter with the three last 

 joints widened, terminal joint acuminate and a little curved. 

 Thorax much as in T. fonnicnrivs clothed with long greyish 

 pubescence. Elytra longer than those of T. fnrmlcarius, the 

 series of large close punctures do not commence for one quarter 

 the length and terminate a little beyond the middle ; a well 

 pronounced humeral callus, the space between it and the 

 scutellum tumid ; the apex is densely clothed with a golden 

 yellow shining pile. Legs blue-black, anterior tibia?, and 

 anterior and middle tarsi red. 



Hab. New South Wales, (Saunders).

Caput declivum, thoracis latitudine, oculi fortiter granulati, 

 haud vel vix excavati. Labium emarginatum, antenna? 11 art., 

 articulis tiibus idtimis clavam formantibus, laxe articulatam, 

 ultimo apice acuminate. Paljn max. art. ult. subulato ; lab. 

 eodem fortiter securiformi.

 constrictum.

Allieil to Thanasimus, and also, in the structure of its tarsi, to 

 Glerax. It is more elongate and cylindric in form than either. 

 The eyes scarcely if at all cut out. are very remarkal)le in this 

 section.
