strongly pxinctiired. The prothorax is equally long and wide, at 

 its widest across the front margin where its angles are dentate, and 

 thence contracted with a very slight curve to the base, the anglet 

 at which are obtuse ; the fovea on either side of the disc is wide 

 and strong, especially behind ; the surface between the foveas is 

 very flat and is finely and sparingly punctured ; the space outside 

 the fovea is rather strongly declivous, and is punctured more 

 strongly than the disc. The sculpture of the elytra seems to 

 consist of two costse (the innermost very narrow and obscure), 

 which are about the 3rd and 5th interstices among a series of very 

 obsolete punctured striae. The scutellum is rather strongly 

 transverse. The antennae in the male are a little longer than in 

 the female, about equal to the length of the elytra; the basal joint 

 rather long and stout (very evidently longer than wide), the 2nd 

 narrower and considerably shorter, but wider than the remaining 

 joints of which the next six are equal to each other in length and 

 thickness^ the apical three longer but scarcely thicker. 



Allied to L. testaceus, Fab., but differing inter alia in the 

 perfectly even surface of the head behind the clypeal suture, and 

 the sparing puncturation of the prothorax. A few specimens 

 under bark of a felled Biccalyptus, about 30 miles north of Port 

 Lincoln.

The puncturation of the head is faint and not very easy to see 

 clearly, but it is moderately close and has a tendency to run in 

 longitudinal wrinkles ; the longitudinal furrow on the forehead is 

 moderately well-defined and does not reach the clypeus or the back 

 of the head. The jjrothorax is evenly (though of course not 

 strongly) convex, and is about as long as wide; its front angles are 

 quite obtuse, the basal ones rather sharp ; the base is nearly as
