sulcis antennariis subobsoletis, latis, obliquis, postice apertis. 



Maris antennarum clava 7-articulata quam articuli 1-4 con- 



juncti plus duplo longiori, cylindrica, articulis 1° et 2° quam 



sequentes sat angustioribus, ultimo leviter acuminate quam 



10""^ sat longiori. Long., 11.; lat , J 1. (vix). 



The third and fourth joints of the antennae are so minute that 



they are not very easily observed, and at a glance the antennee 



seem to have only nine joints. 



This species is very near the preceding, but differs from it 

 (apart from the very different colouring) in the decidedly less 

 stout antennae and the extreme minuteness of the third and 

 fourth joints of the same. My unique example is considerably 

 abraded, but I can trace indications of the grey pubescence on the 

 elytra, forming two fasciae, which might perhaps be more distinct 

 in a very fresh specimen. 



S. Australia ; near Port Lincoln. 



The following is a tabulation of the species described above : — 

 A. Elytra covering (or nearly so) the hind body. 

 B. Prosternal sulci sharply defined, triangular, 

 very deep, and strongly closed behind. 

 C. Antenme testaceous or rufous, unicolorous. 

 D. Tibiae testaceous, elytra unicolorous, an- 

 tenme simply clubbed... ... ... Lindense. 



DD. Tibiae piceous, elytra red, with a large 

 common basal black blotch, antennae 

 pectinated or serrate ... ... Macleayi. 



DDD. Tibife black, elytra black, each with a 

 large subapical red spot, antennae 

 serrate (female, probably pectinate 



in male) Baldiense. 



CC. Antenna? with at least the club black, or 

 nearly so. 

 D. Elytra black, their apex rufous. 



E. Club of antennae cylindric in both 



sexes Eyrense. 



EE. Club of antennae oval (at least in 



the female) alpicola. 



DD. Elytra entirely black ... ... ... Adelaidie. 



BB. Prosternal sulci more feeble, not (or scarcely) 

 closed behind. 

 C. Species of oval (non parallel) form, anten- 

 nal club having less than 7 joints. 

 D. Antennae having at least the club black difficile. 

 DD. Antennae entirely rufous ... ... Yorkense. 



CC. Species of oval form, antennal club of 



male 7-jointed Meyricki.
