of some New Species of Exotic Lucanidcs. 2 1 9 



illee dense setoste, mandone inermi. Menturn transversum, 

 punctis magnis impressum, angulis anticis rotundatis ; antice 

 emarginatum, laciniis labii et palpis labialibus (apice articuli 

 ultimi excepto) occultis. Prothorax capite multo latior ; 

 lateribiis rotundatis, angulis posticis acutis, disco convexo 

 punctato lineaque media abbreviata impressus ; scutellum 

 breve semi-rotundatum. Elytra ovalia, prothoracis latitudine, 

 convexa ; singulo striis sex longitudinalibus impressis, inter- 

 stitiis striarum punctis minutis (saepius triplici serie dispo- 

 sitis) impressis ; punctis omnibus pilis minutis luteis vestitis, 

 inde insectum coloris lutei apparet. Pedes antici tibiis 

 serrulatis dentibusque sex majoribus armatis ; intermediis 

 dente medio alteroque minuto subbasali ; posticis dente 

 medio unico. Corpus infra nigrum, magis nitidum, punc- 

 tatum. 



Plate XII. fig. 4, Dorms? liiteus, magn. auct. ; fig. 4u, labrum and man- 

 dibles ; 4 b, extremily of antenna; ; 4 c, eyes divided by the canthus ; 4 d, max- 

 illa ; 4 e, mentum seen from witliin the mouth, showing the labial laciniae and 

 palpi. 



This Australian species is also in the Hopean collection obtained 

 from M. Gory. The eyes are entirely divided by the lateral sep- 

 tum, the maxillae unarmed, the seventh joint of the antennae 

 pointed in the inside and setose. The specimen appears to me 

 to be a male, notwithstanding the small size of the mandibles. 

 Want of certainty, however, in this respect, as well as ignorance of 

 the opposite sex, and uncertainty as to the structure of the mando 

 of its maxilla, prevents my assigning the present species to its 

 true genus. It is here, therefore, only placed provisionally in the 

 genus Dorcus.

 coque impressione abbreviata notato ; elytris regulariter 

 punctato-striatis.
