and closer puncturation of the underside are evidently distinctive 

 of a species. 



S. Australia ; Yorke's Peninsula, under bark of Eucalyptus. 

 ^. simplex, sp. nov. T. lato affinis, sed minor, multo minus late 

 (quam 2\ debilis minus late) ovalis, pedibus antennisque 

 magis obscuris, oculis multo minus approximatis, elytris haud 

 striatis, prosterni episternis fortiter rugulosis. Long., 2^1.; 

 lat., 3%1. 

 The distance between the eyes is a little greater than the width 

 of either eye as seen from above (probably the eyes of the male 

 are a little more approximated). The non-striated elytra (even 

 the juxta-sutural stria being scarcely indicated) at once dis- 

 tinguish this species, which has a facies suggestive of Cholera.

Caput jDaullo elongatum ; mandibular apice bifidae ; palporuni

longitudine a^qualis ; hie sat late securiformis, labialium sat

Harpalides simulans. 



The apical joint of the maxillary palpi is elongate, but not 



nearly so narrow as that of Ana.xo, .the longest of its three sides 



being that which continues the external outline of the palpus. 



The resemblance to a Harpalid is very striking. The head is 



evidently more prolonged in a beak than that of Nocar.
