sulci convei’ging slightly in front, then turning sharply out towards 
the anterior angles of the head. Prothorax transverse (3-i x 6), 
semicircular, anterior angles advanced ; base lightly emarginate ; 
median line distinct, terminating in front in a transverse im- 
pression. No trace of prothor.e cic marginal punctures (in my single 
specimen). Elytra smooth, rather convex, wider than the thorax 
X 9), slightly emarginate at the base, narrowed towards the 
apex; suture lightly marked ; margins narrow, slightly thickened , 
and upturne'd at the humeral angles ; two or three fine punctures 
on the base near the shoulders, and along the lateral mai’gins a 
row of widely placed punctures ; without discoidal punctures. 
Anterior tibiae I'identate. 
Loc . — Johnstone River, North Queensland. 
This species has very much the appearance of Carenum 
IcEvifenne Mach, to which it is allied. 
Paliscaphus, sub-gen.nov. 
Caput supra oculos bipunctatum ; frons profunde bisulcata ; 
clypeus ad labri latera utrinque longius dentatus, medio levissime 
emarginatus. 
Palpi maxillares tenues, apice sub-truncati, lahiales modice 
securiformes. 
Lahrum truncatum. 
Mentum dente medio brevi valide instructum. 
Antennce breves, moniliformes, articulis 1° et 2° glabris, 3° et 4° 
bisetosis, septem ultimis hirsutis, 2° et 3° sequalibus, ultimo brevi, 
apice rotundato. 
Protlhorax transversus, marginibus utrinque bipunctatis. 
Elytra sub-convexa, disco apicem versus bipunctato. 
I'ibuK anticce extus bidentatae ; femora antica subtus intus 
tripunctata. 
The short moniliform antennae, not thicker towards the end, 
are the most conspicuous feature of this sub-genus. Its position 
will be near Eutoma and Carenoscaphus, from both of whicli 
8uV>genera the more transverse thorax will readily distinguish it.
