what shorter. Apart from the antennal difference, this insect is 

 extremely close to the preceding, and I do not see much other dis- 

 tinction save in the puncturation being less close, and the tibise 

 almost as obscure in colour as the femora.

T. AdelaidcB, sp. nov. Ovale, subelongatum ; obscure nigro- et 

 griseo-hirtum ; nigrum, antennarum articulis 3-7 tarsisque 

 rufis ; sat crebre subaspere punctulatum ; sulcis antennariis 

 profundis bene determinatis, triangularibus, postice clausis. 

 Antennis fere ut T. Eyrensis sed maris articulo 6° femime ar- 

 ticulis 6° 7° que minoribus. Long., 1^ — ll 1. ; lat., f 1. 



This species is much like T. Eyrense in its antennal structure^ 

 but owing to the joints immediately preceding the club (and the 

 first joint of the club itself) being smaller, the club has no ap- 

 pearance of being six jointed in the male, and in the female 

 might almost be regarded as only four jointed, and in both sexes 

 is not quite so cyclindric in form. The uniform black or pitchy 

 black colouring (except the tarsi and the middle of the antennas) 

 will at once separate this insect from the preceding two, and its 

 close subasperate puncturation (not less close and subasperate on 

 the prothorax than on the elytra) will furnish a further distinc- 

 tion.

T. Lindense, sp. nov. Late ovale ; f ulvo-hirtum ] piceo-nigrum ;. 



antennis pedibusque (femoribus vix infuscatis) testaceis, 



elytris testaceo-brunneis ; capite prothoraceque subtiliter 



(hoc latera versus crassius), elytris obscure vix crebre punc- 



tulatis ; sulcis antennariis profundis bene determinatis, 



triangularibus, postice clausis. 



Mas. (?). Antennarum clava 5-articulata, quam articuli 1-6 



conjuncti vix longiori articulis 3-6 parvis tequalibus, clava 



ovali hujus articulis 1° et 2° parvis fere cum stipite numer- 



andis, 3^" et 4° sat magnis inter se sat ?equalibus, 5° quam 



4"* pauUo longiori vix angustiori. Long., 1 1. ; lat., f 1. (vix). 



I believe I have both sexes before me, and that t^ie difference 



between them is very slight ; in one example the apical joint of 



the antennte is certainly shorter and more rounded at the apex 



than in the other. The seventh and eighth joints of the antennae 



are very much smaller than the following three, so that the club 



might almost be regarded as tri-articulate only ; but on careful 



examination I think those two joints really belong to the club, 



being different in form from the preceding four. 



The entirely testaceous antenna? will inter alia distinguish this 

 little species from all the preceding. 

 South Australia ; near Port Lincoln.
