318 D. SHARP 



Tosotarsus. 



Antennae 9-jointed, the fourth joint without any appendage, 

 the five apical joints forming a moderately long club. (Maxillae 

 and their palpi not observed). Mentum rather large and broad, 

 the labial palpi very short, and rather widely separated. Hind 

 coxae moderately broad. Hind legs short and thick, but their 

 tarsi very elongate and slender, quite twice as long as the tibiae. 



This form though appearing very different from Systellopus 

 appears to be very closely allied thereto, but has the six ter- 

 minal joints of the antennae less developed; and the- hind legs 

 more elongate and slender, the tarsi being remarkably elongate. 



Tosotarsus velutinus n. sp. Nigricans, antennarum basi pedibus- 

 que rufis, subtus fulvo-hirsulus; clypeo labroque nitidis, ilio for- 

 titer punctato, vertice opaco fere impunctato; thorace subopaco, 

 sparsim obsolete punctato, basi fulvo-hirsuto; elytris omnino opacis, 

 versus suturam strialis, striis latis sed minus profundis; pygidio 

 nitido. Long. 12-14 x / 2 millim. 



The long and conspicuous pubescence of the underside of this 

 insect is chiefly attached to the legs. 



The only two individuals I have seen of this species are much 

 mutilated, and bear no indication of locality but Australia. 



Triohelasmus. 



Antennae 9-jointed, third joint very short, fourth extremely 

 short, scarcely produced in front, the five apical joints about 

 equal in size and forming a moderately large club, the lamellae 

 composing which are furnished on their inner faces, with fine 

 short, erect hairs; the first and last joints of the club, on the 

 under face wrap over and conceal the other joints, while on the 

 upper face the edges of the 2. nd and 3. rd lamellae are thicker 

 than the others. Maxillary palpi moderately long, 2. nd and 3. rd 

 joints subequal, each of them shorter than the fourth. Mentum
