foveoJattis, Macl.), seriate-punctate, seriate punctures rather 

 large and oval (smaller than in A. foveolatus), those in the 

 three middle rows larger than those in the others, all punc- 

 tures becoming smaller towards apex, intervals flat, minutely 

 and closely punctate; under-side (including sternum) smooth 

 or faintly striolate. Dimensions — 8-8*5 x 3 •5-4*5 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Kuranda (F. Dodd) ; Yandilla 

 (F. A. Gore). 



Two specimens sent by Mr. Dodd, and one in the Bris- 

 bane Museum (from Yandilla) are distinguished from other 

 described species by the combination of coloured prothorax, 

 black antennae, legs and tarsi, with seriate-punctate elytra. 

 Nearest A. foveolatus, Macl., it is readily distinguished by 

 the different-coloured thorax and their produced anterior 

 angles. Tj^pes in the author's collection. 



Teichamarygmus, n. gen. (Amai^ygminarum). 



Whole upper-surface thickly clothed with long and up- 

 right white hairs, the legs and under-surface with shorter 

 hair, mandibles truncate at apex, antennae very long, with 

 joints seven and eight slightly wider than preceding, ninth 

 to eleventh narrower than eighth, the last two subcylindric, 

 fourth to eleventh of nearly equal length, joint three about 

 as long as first and second combined. Elytra coarsely, un- 

 evenly punctate, each puncture bearing a long white hair, 

 the punctures of different size and arranged in crowded rows, 

 three or more rows forming irregular series, with convex nitid 

 intervals, the rest as in Am,arygmus. 



Trichamaeygmus pilosus, n. sp. 



Narrowly ovate; head, prothorax, and scutellum black, 

 antennae at base piceous, apical-half of antennae, under-side, 

 legs, and tarsi reddish, elytra a uniform rich violet-purple, 

 nitid, and pilose, tarsi beneath flavo-setose. 



Head densely, rather coarsely punctate, eyes separated 

 by a distance equal to the length of the basal joint of antennae, 

 ocular sulcus narrow; antennae not enlarged at apex. Pro- 

 thorax 2x3 mm., very convex, short, truncate at apex, 

 sinuous at base, sides widely rounded, coarsely impressed with 

 setiferous punctures, larger than those on the head, without 

 a central line. Scutellum triangular and finely punctate. 

 Elytra ovate convex (somewhat cylindrical), nearly twice as 

 long as wide, intervals between series of rows minutely but 

 densely punctate; epipleurae coarsely punctate. Abdomen 

 coarsely and sparsely punctate ; pro- and meta-sternum more 

 closely and finely punctured, especially on the flanks;
