(in some examples very) well defined ; the rest of the surface has 

 a mottled appearace owing to the brownish colour being here and 

 there obscurely darker or lighter. The punctures on the elytra 

 have a very evident tendency to run in rows. 



The antennae do not quite reach back to the base of the pro- 

 thorax ; their joints do not differ much inter se, but the hrst four 

 are evidently more slender than the rest, and the apical four or 

 tive again show a slight increase in stoutness.

NEOSALPINGUS (gen. nov.). 

 A. Trichosalpingo differt fere ut prsecedens sed antennarum 

 articuli ultimi 3 clavam abruptam formant. 



This genus differs from Notosalpiiiyus very much as Lissodema 

 differs ivom. Salpingtis ; from Lissodema it is at once separated by 

 its very different tarsi, which are shorter and stouter, with 

 the apical two joints conspicuously more slender than the rest, 

 which are densely clothed beneath with long hairs, the basal joint 

 of the hind tarsi being scarcely longer than the second.

The antenna set back would about reach the base of the pro- 

 thorax ; their club is very abrupt, the first two of its joints 

 almost transverse, the third a trifle longer. The prothorax is 

 punctured a trifle less finely and closely than the head ; its surface 

 is noticeably uneven, having some obscure transverse impressions 

 in addition to the longitudinal one ; near the base on either side 

 is a little elevated pustule. 



Superficially very like Salpingus hyhridus, Er. (to which a 

 specimen from Tasmania, given me by Mr. J. J. AValker, I have 

 no doubt pertains) ; but the latter appears to be a genuine 

 Lissodema, and also differs, inter alia, by its longer antennae.
