//«6.— New South Wales: Sydney (A. M. Lea). Type 

 (unique), I. 3565. 



Considerabl}^ smaller than suhcostatus, prothorax with 

 much smaller punctures, sides without the least irregularity 

 about middle, and elytra with the impunctate lines not dis- 

 tinctly elevated above the adjacent parts. On each elytron 

 there are six impunctate lines, the first three (including the 

 suture) separated by semi-double rows of punctures, the others 

 separated by two semi-double rows. The abdomen of the type 

 is not foveate, the apical segment being but feebly depressed 

 at the middle of the apex, but the tarsi appear to be 

 masculine. 



Agetinus cacozelus, n. sp. 

 PI. viii., fig. 130. 



Bronzy, in places brassy; parts of appendages reddish. 



Finely shagreened. Htad with a feeble median impres- 

 sion ; with dense but rather small punctures. Protliorax with 

 strongly and evenly rounded sides ; disc with numerous small 

 punctures, becoming larger and crowded on sides. Elytra 

 with crowded and fairly large subasperate punctures on basal 

 third, transversely confluent near shoulders, and sublineate 

 in arrangement in places. Tibiae distinctly ridged, somewhat 

 dilated at apex (but not suddenly so). Length, 3| mm.

 Type (unique), I. 3566. 



Close to juvencus, but four hind tibiae less dilated at 

 apex, upper-surface with denser and more distinct punctures, 

 and shining lines on elytra much less noticeable ; from the 

 preceding species it differs in being narrower, middle tibiae 

 less dilated at apex and elytral punctures decidedly coarser, 

 the subcostate appearance of the elytra is less defined and the 

 subgeminate arrangement of the punctures less pronounced 

 and for a shorter distance ; the abdomen is much as on the type 

 of that species, but, as the basal joint of no tarsus is dilated, 

 the type is almost certainly a female. Parts of the six basal 

 joints of antennae and the tip of each tibia are more or less 

 reddish.

cS . Brassy or bronzy ; parts of appendages more or less 

 reddish. 



Head with a small median impression ; with dense punc- 

 tures of moderate size. Prothorax with strongly and evenly 

 rounded sides ; disc with rather small and not very dense 

 punctures, becoming denser towards and crowded on sides. 

 Elytra with fairly large punctures, about base fairly dense
