 The jDrosternal sulci of this insect are very deep, run obliquely 

 (or almost transversely) across the front portion of the proster- 

 num, their extremity being on the lateral margin considerably in 

 front of the hind angles of the prosternum, and are rounded at 

 their extremity (as in A. MitsrporiimJ. 



I hesitate to refer the female described above to this species, 

 on account of its very much greater size, the somewhat conspicu- 

 ous fascia3 on its elytra, and the less clearly testaceous colour of 

 its antennal club. The male example described above is, however, 

 certainly abraded, and may have had the elytral fasciae when 

 fresh. It may be distinguished from the species I take for 



A. aicstralis, Hope, apart from colour, by the much larger club of 

 its antenna?.

The following species is evidently congeneric with that which I 

 described in Trans. Roy. Soc, XII., p. 138, a ; Jj. Torreusensis, 

 although the tarsi are still less contractile. I drew attention 

 (loc. cit.) to the feebleness of the tibial channels in that species. 

 In the present insect the tarsi do not appear to be laid back in 

 repose altogether against the tibia?, but to be so placed that their 

 base is in a groove at the apex of the tibiae, and their apical 

 joints are free. This character is inconsistent with Ihjrrlius. 



B. raucus, sp. nov. Subglobosus; nitidus; subfortiter (prothorace 



crebre, elytris minus crebre) punctulatus ; pilis nigris erectis 

 perlongis crebre vestitus ; supra a?neus subcuprascens, an- 

 tennis tarsisque rufescentibus ; subtus niger, crebre fortiter 

 rugulose punctulatus. Long., 1-| 1. ; lat., 1 1. 

 Very like B. Torrensensis, but more globose, clothed with 

 longer hair, differently coloured, the prothorax more strongly 

 punctured, the underside black or nearly so, and much more 

 strongly and roughly punctulate.
