314 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of nexo f/enera 



gose, impressed on either side, near the upper angle of 

 the eye, with three or four deep punctures ; groove sepa- 

 rating the front from the interocular space well defined ; 

 clypeus slightly broader than long, its apex obtusely 

 truncate ; antennte about half the length of the body. 

 Thorax more than twice as broad as long ; sides con- 

 verging from base to apex, slightly convex; anterior angles 

 thickened, broadly and obliquely truncate ; disk strongly 

 punctured. Elytra oblong-ovate, attenuated towards the 

 apex, convex, strongly punctate-striate, the puncturing on 

 the first stria irregularly placed : interspaces convex at 

 their apices and on the outer disk, nitidous, distantly 

 impressed with fine punctures. 



Cli(Bfocnema projoinqua. 



Anguste oblongo-ovata, convexa, nitida, subtus nigro- 

 picea, pedibus sordide fulvis, femoribus posticis piceis, 

 cupreo tinctis; supra piceo-cuprea aut cuprea; an tennis 

 piceis, basi fulvis; thorace profunde, subcrebre punctate, 

 utrinque basi leviter impress©; elytr-is sat profimde 

 punctato-striatis, stria prima minus regulariter punctata ; 

 interspatiis nitidis, ad apicem convexis, distincte, sub- 

 remote punctatis, externis totis convexis. 



Long. 1^ lin. Hab. — South Australia, Adelaide. 



Head trigonate; vertex and front rugulose, finely 

 punctured, impressed on either side with four or five 

 deep fovese; interocular spaces separated from the front 

 on each side by a deep flexuose groove ; clypeus smooth, 

 nearly impunctate, its apex broadly truncate, separated 

 fi-om the upper face by a deep transverse groove ; its lower 

 half, together with the parts of the mouth, piceous; an- 

 tennae about half the length of the body, the five lower 

 joints fulvous, the rest piceous ; the second joint mode- 

 rately thickened, two-thirds the length of the first, the 

 third equal in length to the second. Thorax nearly three 

 times as broad as long ; sides slightly rounded, converging 

 towards the apex, the anterior angle obliquely truncate, 

 produced laterally into a small, acute tooth; upper surface 

 transversely convex, strongly and deeply punctured; on 

 either side the basal margin, at some distance from the 

 lateral border, is a small depression, which extends trans- 

 versely inwards for a short distance towards the m-edial 

 lobe. Elytra broader than the thorax, oblong, attenuated 

 at the apex, convex, strongly and deeply punctate-striate.
