REVISION OF THE GENUS HETERONYX, 
sparsim subtilius, punctulatis ; abdominis segmentis 2-5 capillis 
erectis (lineatim transversim positis) instructis. 
[Long. 4 (vix), lat. 2 lines (vix). 
The head scarcely differs from that of H. horridus, except in its 
puncturation being coarse and less close, and is rather lightly 
impressed, with a squamose appearance. The prothorax is three- 
quarters again as wide as its length down the middle, and its base 
is about a third again as wide as its front margin, which is 
slightly bisinuate, with anterior angles only moderately advanced ; 
its sides are moderately strongly rounded, and their junction with 
the base is quite rounded off, the latter being bisinuate, with its 
middle part scarcely produced backward like a lobe. The elytra 
are transversely wrinkled, and bear distinct indications of stria- 
tion. On the underside the metasternum and hind coxae are 
coarsely punctured (rather closely at the sides, sparingly in the 
middle) ; the hind body is much more finely and feebly punctured 
(but without the puncturation being much enfeebled in the 
middle) ; the ventral segments are furnished with transverse lines 
of fine hairs which are not obsolete in the middle. The hind coxae 
are not very much shorter than the metasternum, the hind femora 
not much wider than the intermediate, and with the inner apical 
angle scarcely prominent. 
Western Victoria ; also near Adelaide.

The clypeus is gently rounded in front and evenly margined, its 
surface not forming a continuous plane with the rest of the head, 
the clypeal suture distinctly impressed and lightly arched, the 
puncturation of the whole head very even, close, coarse and 
rugose. The prothorax is rather more than a third again as wide
