The head bears a transverse furrow between the eyes and a 

 longitudinal carina between the antennae. The prothorax is not 

 much wider than long, almost truncate in front where it is a little 

 wider than at the base, the sides moderately arched, the front 

 angles obscure, the hind angles subdentiform. The basal joint 

 of the antennae is pitchy (testaceous beneath), tlie second and 

 third are dull testaceous, the rest pitchy black. 



The single example which I take to be the other sex of this 

 species, in addition to having much shorter elytra, has the 

 antennte more slender, and the parts of the legs and antennae 

 which in the type are testaceous, are much more obscure. It may 

 possibly appertain to a distinct species.

ELLOPIA. 



E. Sloanei, sp. nov. Sat elongata, postice dilatata ; subnitida ; 



supra glabra, piceo-lurida, subcupreo-tincta ; capite antice, 



prothoracis marginibus, tibiisque basi, dilutioribus ; corpore 



subtus nigro ; hoc cum pedibus pubescenti ; coxis testaceis ; 



capite prothoraceque leviter minus subtiliter punctulatis ; 



elytris coriaceis vix perspicue punctulatis, singulis 



longitudinaliter profunde bisulcatis. Long., 3fl; lat., l-fl. 



This remarkable species agrees perfectly with Miopia pedestris, 



Er., (which appears to be widely distributed in South Australia) 



in all structural characters, but is widely different specifically. 



The two deep furrows abbreviated at both ends running down 



the inner half of each elytron are a very distinctive character ; 



in some (perhaps most) examples there are traces of a much 



feebler sulcus at no great distance from the lateral margin. 



The antennae are a little less robust than in E. j^jec^e^^ifris ; in 



some examples (as appears also the case in E. jiedestris) the 



second joint is less abbreviated than in others ; I believe this 



to be sexual and that the second joint is elongated in the 



females.

CANDEZEA. 



C. Palme/rstoni, spec. nov. Sat late oblonga ; sat nitida ; nigra ; 

 capite (labro, palpis, et antennis apicem versus exceptis), 

 prothorace et elytris, testaceis ; pedibus plus minus pic- 

 escentibus ; capite prothoraceque subtilissime sat sparsim, 

 elytris minus subtiliter minus sparsim, punctulatis. Long, 

 2^.1; lat., HI. 

 The elytra in some examples are vaguely clouded with infus- 

 ■cation in the hinder half. Head with a straight transverse fur- 

 row between the eyes. Antennas about half as long as the body,
