small teeth beneath; claws Separated for about half their 
length. Length, 91; width, 44 mm.

The specimen described is from the collection of the late 
Mr. A, Sidney Olliff, and bears a label in the writing of the 
Rev. T. Blackburn, “Polyphrades sp. nov.” In build it re- 
sembles nanus, from which it may be distinguished by its 
clothing and claws. 
POLYPHRADES TUMIDULUS, Blackb. 
I have numerous specimens from Geraldton (W.A.), which 
agree very well with Mr. Blackburn's description of thi: re- 
markable species, except that they vary from 24 to 3 lines 
(not 3 to 4).

ESMELINA* STENOCERA, n. sp. 
Black, subopaque; legs and antennæ reddish, tarsi darker 
than tibie. Clothed with round and somewhat golden scales, 
mixed on the elytra and under surface with pale, stout sete. 
Tibiz clothed all over with long and rather dense seta, in- 
creasing in length from the base, claw joint with vather 
numerous and erect sete. 
Eyes ovate, finely faceted, prominent. Apical plate slightly 
longer than wide, feebly depressed along middle; punctate, 
connected with a narrow and deep ocular fovea by a very in- 
distinct impressed line. Antenne just passing base of elytra ; 
Scape not very stout, thickened at apex and feebly overhang- 
ing base of funicle; of the latter all the joints elongate and 
slightly decreasing in length ; club thin, elongate-elliptic, dis- 
tinctly four-jointed, all the joints longer than wide, the 
fourth very small. Prothorax feebly transverse, subeylindri- 
cal, the sides feebly rounded, base and apex equal; ocuları 
lobes very obtuse; disc densely granulate, base feebly mar- 
gined. Scutellum sloping. "Elytra not raised at base, ob- 
long-ovate, at base considerably wider than prothorax, feebly 
* Mr. Blackburn (P.L.S. N.S.W., 1892, p. 122) appears to have 
doubts as to the propriety of referring this genus to the Leptop- 
Sides; to me the position (close to Polyphrades) assigned to it by 
Mr. Pascoe appears to be the correct one.
