LIMNICHUS ELLIPTICUS sp. nov. 



Hlack, parts of antennae and of legs obscurely reddish. Rather densely 

 clothed with dei)ressed ashen pubescence, slightly paler on under than on upper- 

 surface. 



Ilcad with small, dense punctures. .\ntennae rather long and thin. 

 Profliora.v almost four times as wide as long, sides strongly rounded, hind angles 

 almost rectangular, scutellar lobe feeble ; punctures minute. FJ\tra with sides 

 moderately rounded, and continuous with those of prothorax ; with dense and 

 small ])unctures, indistinct before abrasion but sharply defined after, nowhere 

 seriate in arrangement. Uiuicr-surfacc with scarcely \isible punctures on 

 metasternum, and very small elsewhere. Length, 1 -l? — 1 '4 mm. 



Hab. Queensland: Hamilton — U]jper North Pine, January, 1890 (C. J. 

 Wild). Type. I. 10716. 



A small ellii>tic species, a1)0Ut the size of the small \ariety of Liinnicliiis 

 attstralis. but decidedly narrower and with uniform clothing. The legs are almost 

 entirely black. 



ASPIDIPHORUS HUMERALIS Blackb. 



The elytra of this sjjecies vary from a dingy light-brown almost to black, 

 but the shoulders are always conspicuously paler than the adjacent parts. It 

 was described from Tasmania, but extends to Queensland. 



ASPIDIPHORUS GLOBOSUS Macl. (formerly TRINODES). 

 The general ajjpearance of this species is as that of a small dark 

 Aspidiplionis liiiuicmlis. without the jmle shoulders; it may be readily distin- 

 guished from all other species before me by the elytral punctures, these being 

 mostly in geminate series. < )ne of the specimens was sieved from rotting leaves 

 at Mount Tambourine, and others are from I^alby ( Queensland ) and Sydney 

 (New South Wales). 



ASPIDIPHORUS NIGRICLAVUS sp. nov. 



Pale castaneous, club of antennae blackish. Al(jderately clothed with 

 depressed, whitish pubescence. 



Head with numerous liut mostly concealed punctures. Antennae short; 

 club large and three-jointed. Profluivax stronglv transverse, sides strongly 

 narrowed from ba'^e tn apex; with dense and minute jnmctures. Elytra scarcely 

 longer than wide, sides and a])ex strongly rounded; with r(nvs of conspicuous 

 punctures in shallow striae, the interstices miiuitely punctate. Metasternum 

 rather strongly convex and (except at base) impunctate in middle; with rather
