the pyq;iclia is also closer and more coarse than that of

Ulster Walkeri^ sp. n. 



Ovalis, convexiusculus, niger, nitidus ; stria frontali lati-arcuata ; 

 pronoto antice haud siiiuato, stria interua integra, externa nulla ; 

 el3'tris, striis 1-4 dorsalibus erenatis validis integris, 5 apicali 

 brevissima, suturali arcuata basi abbreviata ; propygidio antice 

 punctate, postice in medio fere la^vi ; pygidio minus puuctato ; 

 prostez'no ante coxas angustato ; raesosterno sinuato valde mar- 

 ginato ; tibiis anticis 3-dentatis, posticis spinosis. 



L. 5-6 mill. 



In its general aspect H. Walkeri is somewhat similar to 

 77. Javanicus, Payk., but it is less convex, the shortened 

 external lateral stria is wanting, the margin is feebly ciliate, 

 and the prosternal keel is narrow like that of 77. corvinus, 

 Germ. The frontal stria is widely arched, not semicircular, 

 and the only humeral stria is fine and oblique at the base. 



This is the only species of Hister known from Australia, 

 and I have commemorated this somewhat notable discovery 

 by naming the species after its captor, Mr. J. J. Walker. 



Hab. Australia. Three examples taken in a saw-pit at 

 Lilyvale in the lUawarra district, 30 miles south of Sydney, 

 in a part where there is comparatively still mucli untouched 

 " bush.'' 



Pachijlomahis Andrewesi, sp. n. 



P. musculo forma similis at major et paulo convexus. Pronoto linea 

 impressa ante scutellum obliqua ; propygidio linea basali trans- 

 versa ; prosterno bistriato ; mesosterno baud marginaco ; tibiis 

 dilatatis. 



L. 2| mill. 



Ova', convex, black, and shhiing; the head very finely- 

 punctured, frontal stria fine, arched, and complete ; the thorax 

 also finely punctured with the ante-scutellar strife oblique ; 

 the elytra are more irregularly but distinctly punctured, 

 especially in the region of the oblique humeral and the first 

 and second dorsal striae, these strife are short and very feebly 

 indicated ; the presternum is bistriate and the mesosternuni 

 is anteriorly immarginate ; the pygidium in the male has an 

 apical impression in which are three smooth bosses placed 

 transversely, the median one being the largest. 



This species is rather larger and more oval than P. musculuft^ 

 Mars. ; in the latter the pygidium is simply impressed at the 

 apex.
