BALANINUS DELICATULUS, n. Sp. 
Female. Of a very pale red, knees, tarsi, and mandibles 
darker. Rather densely clothed with stout, adpressed white 
scales, denser on middle of prothorax, suture, and under 
surface than elsewhere. 
Rostrum with small and moderately dense punctures, not 
much denser, but rather larger towards base than elsewhere. 
Antenne inserted three-sevenths from base of rostrum; first 
joint of funicle stouter than and the length of the two fol- 
lowing combined. — Prothorax with the punctures concealed. 
Elytra distinctly striate, with moderately distinct punc- 
tures; shoulders very decidedly produced. Length, 3+ ; ros- 
trum, 2; width, 1+ mm. 
Hab.—N.W. Australia (type in Macleay Museum). 
To the naked eye the elytra appear to be feebly mottled, 
but this is owing to the scales being rather thinner in places, 
and allowing the derm to be seen. 
BALANINUS SUBMACULATUS, n. sp. 
Female (?). Reddish-brown; legs, rostrum (but not man- 
dibles), and antenne paler. Densely and uniformly clothed with 
dark stramineous (or paie ochreous) scales (slightly paler on 
under surface); on each elytron near the apex is a small 
patch of slightly paler scales, immediately behind which is à 
small, dark, semi-denuded space, so that the patches (which 
are of the same shade as the scutellar scales) are rendered 
rather distinct. 
Rostrum equally curved throughout; sparsely and finely 
punctate. ^ Antenne inserted nearer base than apex; first 
joint of funicle almost as long as the two following combined. 
Prothorar with the punctures concealed. Elytra with the 
punctured strie almost concealed, but the punctures marked 
by larger scales; shoulders rounded. Length, 42; rostrum, 
3 (vix.) ; width, 21 mm. 
Hab.—N.S.W.: Kiama (type in Macleay Museum). 
In this species the eyes are coarsely faceted (almost twice 
as coarsely as in the British turbidus), whilst in the three 
preceding they are finely faceted. 
SUB-FAMILY LAEMOSACCIDES. 
LAEMOSACCUS. 
I did not notice till quite recently that there was an omis- 
sion of a line in the tabulation of the genus, given in P.L.S., 
N.S.W., 1896, р. 312. Line 15:— "Elytra more or less red,” 
would appear to govern querulus, longimanus, subsignatus, 
funereus, and dubius, instead of querulus only; line 16 
should have been: —‘‘Elytra entirely black."
