200 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, VIII., 



with dense setiferous punctures, which on the basal segments are 

 almost coarse; the four basal segments finely corrugated at apex. 

 Apterous. Length to apex of elytra 3J, of abdomen 7 mm. 



Hab. — Cairns, Q. (Henry Hacker). 



The pale portion of the elytra covers about one-third of their 

 surface, and is roughly triangular in shape on each, the triangles 

 just touching the suture and sides. 



This is the largest Sunius as yet recorded from Australia; 

 from S. apicijlavus, which it closely resembles in colour (except 

 that the markings at apex of elytra are somewhat different), it 

 differs in being larger and elytra much narrower and with coarser 

 punctures; it is also apterous, whilst that species is winged. 



Sunius Hackeri, n.sp. 



Of a rather dingy brown; legs flavous, apex of abdomen, 

 apical two-thirds of elytra and the antennae slightly darker. 

 Clothed with straggling brownish hairs and with greyish 

 pubescence. 



Head slightly wider than long, diminishing in width from eyes 

 to apex, eyes prominent; punctures as on head of two preceding 

 species. Antennae passing base of prothorax, 2nd joint not much 

 shorter than 3rd, 11th briefly obpyriform. Prothorax briefly 

 ovate, with punctures as on head. Elytra longer and wider than 

 prothorax, conjointly almost quadrate, with numerous, fairly 

 large, clearly defined punctures. Abdomen short, at base the 

 width of elytra, almost parallel-sided to near apex, punctures 

 distinct only on basal segments. VV 7 inged. Length to apex of 

 elytra 2\, of abdomen 3 mm. 



Hab. — Cairns, Q. (Henry Hacker). 



Of the robust form of S. brevicollis, but differs from that species 

 in the dark portion of its elytra being basal and transverse, and 

 in the punctures of the elytra and abdomen. 



Typhlobledius, n.g. 



Head subcylindrical; clypeal suture distinct; mandibles short 

 and stout.* Eyes absent. Antennae rather short and thin. 



* Only the tips of the mandibles are exposed.
