H. Macleayi, sp. nov. Minus elongates, postice parum dila- 

 tatus; minus nitidus; fuscus, corpore subtus an tennis 

 palpis pedibusque dilutioribus ; supra pilis brevibus ad- 

 pressis sat dense et nonnullis erectis sat brevibus ves- 

 titus ; clypeo crebre sat fortiter ruguloso, antice late 

 leviter emarginato : labro clypei planum superanti ; capite 

 antice (a tergo oblique viso) tripliciter convexo (parte 

 mediana quam lateralium dimidium subangustiori) ; 

 f ronte sat crebre fortius sat rugulose punctulata ; hac 

 clypeoque ut plana sat disparia visis ; antennis 9-articu- 

 latis; prothorace quam longiori ut 15 (vix) ad 8 latiori, 

 antice modice angustato, supra sat crebre subfortiter 

 punctulato (puncturis circiter 22 in segmenti longitudine), 

 lateribus (superne visis) modice arcuatis, angulis anticis 

 sat acutis modice productis posticis (superne visis) 

 obtusis, basi sat fortiter bisinuata, margine basali ad 

 latera vix magis elevato ; elytris longitudinaliter obtuse 

 vix manifeste costulatis, crebre subtiliter punctulato 

 (trans elytron puncturis circiter 43) ; pygidio subtilius 

 crebrius (maris minus crebre) punctulato ; coxis posticis 

 quam metasternum haud brevioribus, quam segmentum 

 ventrale 2 um multo longioribus ; tarsorum posticorum 

 articulo basali quam 2 US sat breviori 3° sat gequali; 

 unguiculis posticis appendiculatis, parte basali quam 

 apicalis multo longiori. Long., 4J-5 1. ; lat., 2J-2J 1. 

 I formerly supposed this species to be castaneus, Macl. 

 (and may have reported it to correspondents as probably that 

 insect), there being no character in Macleay's brief descrip- 

 tion inconsistent with that determination, but an examina- 

 tion of the type has proved the contrary. The species is 

 very easily identified (among all known to me) by the char- 

 acters cited in the tabulation. The trilobed outline of the 

 head is very well developed and is strongly divided, the middle 

 lobe scarcely half of a lateral lobe in size. The punctures of 

 the pronotum are very considerably larger than of the elytra.
