punctures, Dysphanochila in the table was noted as having 

 "Labrum entirely confused with vertical front face of 



J 



clypeus." On close examination, however, a fine dividing 

 line may be seen in the exact middle, and at the sides the 

 suture is -quite distinct. Regarding it as allied to that genus 

 (JJ of the table) it would be distinguished by its tridentate 

 front tibiae and ten-jointed antennas. If regarded as belong- 

 ing to J it should be referred to M, and in that case would 

 be associated with Colpochila, ai) whose antennae are eight- 

 or nine-jointed and clypeus very different. If regarded as 

 belonging to MM it would be associated with Frenchella, 

 whose antennae and elytra are very different. It may pro- 

 visionally be placed near Dysphanochila. The mentum is 

 rounded at the apex, but is so densely clothed that all parts 

 of the mouth are more or less concealed. The abdominal 

 stigmata are also concealed by the clothing. 



Clilopocha whiter, n. sp. 



Reddish-castaneous, antennae paler; head (except portion 

 of clypeus) and tibial teeth more or less blackish. Prothorax 

 and elytra fringed with rather long stramineous hairs, 

 becoming longer and denser on under-surface and on parts 

 of legs; elytra with moderately long semi-upright hairs scat- 

 tered about. 



Head with dense and rather large but shallow punctures, 

 becoming sparser towards base and smaller on clypeus; 

 clypeus more than twice as wide as its median length. 

 Antennae with first joint about as long as ocular canthus, and 

 about as long as the three following combined, fourth to 

 sixth short, seventh still shorter, but somewhat produced 

 internally, club with lamellae about one-fourth longer than 

 seven basal joints combined. Prothorax about once and one- 

 half as wide as long, sides rounded, front angles acute, the 

 hind ones obtusely rounded, with numerous large round but 

 very shallow punctures, almost absent along middle. Elytra 

 very little wider than prothorax, with irregular punctures of 

 small to medium size, and in places in feeble geminate-striae. 

 Femora stout; front tibiae with all the teeth large, but the 

 front one longer and the middle one stouter than the others. 

 Length, 8-9^ mm.

 Oodnadatta. Type, I. 3438, in South Australian Museum. 



Seen directly from in front the fringing prothoracic
