FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
either, the apical yellow space extends backward to about the 
level of the commencement of the apical sixth of the suture. 
The antenniB are considerably longer than the body in the 
specimen before me, and have their joints 3-7 spined at the inner 
apex. 
A rather short robust species as compared with others of the 
genus. This character, combined with the nearly black antennse 
and legs, the peculiar elytral puncturation and sub-transverse 
prothorax will distinguish it, I think, from all its Australian 
allies. 
X. Territory of S. Australia ; taken by Mr. J. P. Tepper. 
Aprosictus. 
A. INTRICATUS, sp.nov. 
Fusco-brunneus, plus minus griseo-tomentosus ; elytris antice 
testaceo-rufis postice testaceo-brunneis, maculis fasciisque non- 
nulis piceo-nigris notatis, postice fortiter bispinosis ; prothorace 
fortiter ruguloso, macula discoidali Isevi, longtitudine latitudini 
fequali. [Long. 12, lat. 21 lines. 
On the elytra the anterior third of the lateral margin is broadly 
blackish, and the hinder part of this blackish space runs out 
in a fascia-like manner to the suture ; at the middle there is a 
.strongly angulated narrow black fascia, from immediately behind 
which a black line runs do\sTi the middle of the disc about half- 
way to the apex. The apex of all the femora is black, as also the 
inner half of the upper face of each of the 4 posterior femora. 
The whitish haii-s ai’e most dense on the prothorax, the apical 
third of the elytra, and the whole undersurface — on these parts 
being moderately close, on the rest of the surface very sparse. 
The intei’stices of the rugose sculpture of the prothorax are very 
nitid ; on the disc immediately behind the middle is an ill- 
defined, rounded space on which the rugosity and pilosity both 
fail, and which consequently appears as a shining spot. There is 
some indication of a similar spot (as though several intei’stices 
coalesced) close to the base on either side of the middle.
