916 THE INSECTS OF THE VICINITY OF KING’s SOUND, 
161. Heteronyx capillatus, n.sp. 
Oblong, dark bro-wn, sub-nitid, minutely and densely punctate, 
and covered with a soft, somewhat silky, cinereous pile. Head 
transverse, clypeus emarginate in front, with the labruni visible 
from above, the clypeal suture very little arcuate. Thorax trans- 
verse, convex, the sides a little rounded and slightly widened at 
the base, the anterior angles slightly produced, the posterior 
rather rounded. Elytra about the width of the thorax and twice 
the length, sub-truncate at the apex, and minutely rugo.sely 
punctate, with tlu’ee very faint strue on each side of the suture. 
Under surface of the same colour as the upper, but less densely 
punctate and pilose. The legs are piceous and ciliated with long 
red hair, the hind legs are long, the anterior tibia; tridentate. 
Long 5 ^, lat. lines. 
162. Heteronyx radius, n.sp. 
This species very closely resembles the last ; it differs in its 
less parallel-sided form, in its pale reddish colour, in the more 
projecting labrum, in the more transverse thorax, with the punc- 
tures a little larger and the posterior angles more rounded, in the 
elytra proportionally longer, more dilated behind, and with only 
one very faint stria on each side of the suture, and in the hind 
legs less elongate. 
Long. 4i, lat. 2^ lines. 
163. Heteronyx subfuscus, n.sp. 
Oblong, chocolate-brown, sub-nitid, extremely minutely punc- 
tate, with a shorter sericeous pile than in the last two species. 
Clypeus rounded and rather broadly margined and recurved in 
front, except in the middle, which is emarginate, with the upper 
edge of the labrum showing in front of it ; the clypeal suture 
nearly straight and a little impressed in the middle. Thorax 
transverse, the anterior angles scarcely produced, the sides much 
rounded, the posterior angles obtuse. Elytra of the ^vidth of the 
thorax and three times the length, almost parallel-sided, the
