rather long pubescence and a distinct fringe, sterna densely 

 pilose. 



Head rather convex, and with rather large, crowded 

 punctures. Clypeus with margins rather strongly upturned, 

 hind suture curved backwards to middle; punctures much as 

 between eyes, but becoming smaller in front. Antennae 

 eight-, club three- jointed. Prothorax distinctly less than 

 twice as wide as long, sides subangularly produced in middle, 

 rather strongly narrowed to apex, with front angles produced 

 and acute, less strongly narrowed to base, with hind angles 

 sharply defined and almost rectangular; punctures almost 

 evenly distributed, sparser, and smaller than on head. 

 Scutellum with rather sparse punctures. Elytra almost 

 parallel-sided to near apex, which is almost truncate; striae 

 well defined, but with irregular punctures; interstices with 

 rather large, irregularly-distributed punctures. Pygidium, 

 with dense, subasperate punctures about base, becoming 

 sparser elsewhere. Front tibiae strongly tridentate ; basal 

 joint of hind tarsi shorter than second. Length, 11 '5 mm. 



Hah. — South Australia: Lucindale (F. Seeker). Type 

 (unique), I. 4700. 



As the club is small the type is probably a female. There 

 are fairly numerous erect hairs between the eyes, and sparse 

 ones on the elytra ; but the type has probably been partly 

 abraded. There is a feeble remnant of a median line on 

 the pronotum. By Blackburn's table the species would be 

 associated with hispida, from which it differs in being black, 

 clothing of upper-surface much sparser, clypeus longer, etc. 

 In general appearance it is fairly close to dark specimens of 

 lubrica, but that species has denser prothoracic and elytral 

 punctures, antennae nine- jointed, etc. 



Engyops flavus, n. sp. 



Flavous, front of head and parts of legs castaneous. A 

 few long hairs between eyes, and a fringe of similar Lairs on 

 each side of the prothorax and elytra, rest of upper-surface 

 glabrous ; pygidium moderately densely clothed at apex ; 

 under-surface and legs very sparsely clothed. 



Head with fairly numerous and small but sharply- 

 defined punctures. Clypeus with semicircular and rather 

 strongly upturned margins, middle rather strongly convex 

 and with denser and coarser punctures than between eyes; 

 hind suture sharply defined. Antennae nine-, club three- 

 jointed. Prothorax about twice as wide as long, side sub- 

 parallel on basal two-thirds, and then strongly rounded to 

 apex, front angles produced and acute, hind ones almost 

 rectangular; punctures somewhat larger and denser than
