he male has longer and thicker legs than the female, 
and i sexes differ to a slight extent in the prothorax, its 
greatest width in the male being postmedian, in the fem ale 
antemedian, in the male also it is less transverse than in the 
female, hence the characters used in Blackburn’s table“ are 
unsatisfactory ; but of the species known to Blackburn it 
seems closest to tetricus, from which it differs in its smaller 
size, much smaller elytral punctures, less convex elytral inter- 
stices and red legs; it is without the metallic gloss of micans, 
and differs in other respects from that species. The median 
specimens of this species are some etimes washed up on the 
beaches near Hobart, after sultry nights.
