Head with' numerous but not dense, and rather small 

 sharply-defined punctures. Clypeus with sides rather lightly 

 upturned, the front more strongly, hind suture gently curved 

 backwards to middle; punctures somewhat larger and more 

 crowded than between eyes. Antennae ten-, club four-jointed, 

 rami of the latter curved, and about the length of the front 

 tibiae. Prothorax not twice as wide as loftg, sides moderately 

 rounded, front angles produced and acute, hind ones obtuse 

 but sharply defined ; punctures about as large but sparser 

 than on head between eyes. Scutellum impunctate except at 

 base. Elytra feebly dilated to beyond the middle, apex widely 

 rounded; strongly striate, with distinct punctures in the 

 striae, second, fourth, sixth, and eighth interstices slightly 

 wider than the others, and with more numerous punctures. 

 Pygidiam with rather dense punctures, except along middle. 

 Front tibiae strongly tridentate; basal joint of hind tarsi 

 shorter than second. Length, 10"5-11'5 mm.

May be readily distinguished from inusitatus, the only 

 other species having the club of the antennae four-jointed, 

 by its larger size, less convex form, prothorax no darker than 

 elytra, and with much smaller punctures, etc. I have seen 

 specimens of this species in the Macleay Museum, from Port 

 Denison. 



Anodontonyx insularis, n. sp. 



Of a pale dingy red, some parts darker. Upper-surface 

 with some long hairs scattered about, and forming a fringe 

 on each side of prothorax and elytra, a row of setiferous 

 granules across most abdominal segments. , 



Head with dense punctures of moderate size, and a few 

 larger ones scattered about. Clypeus with front margin 

 rounded and rather strongly upturned. Antennae eight-, 

 club three-jointed, second joint globular and distinctly wider 

 than second, club small. ' Prothorax not twice as wide as 

 long, sides subparallel on basal half, front angles lightly pro- 

 duced and subacute, hind ones rectangular and flat; punctures 

 sparser and shallower than on head, but scarcely smaller; 

 median line absent or very vague. Scutellum impunctate ex- 

 cept at base. Elytra with fairly numerous, but not dense 

 punctures, slightly larger than on prothorax ; with feeble 

 longitudinal elevations. Pygidium with fairly dense and 

 rather small punctures. Basal joint of hind tarsi slightly 

 longer than second. Length, 7-8 mm.
