214 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTEKA, VIII., 



scattered punctures, a vague impression on each side of the (wide 

 and indistinct) median line. Elytra much as in the preceding 

 species except that the punctures are very much smaller though 

 still seriate in arrangement. Five basal segments of abdomen 

 almost parallel-sided. Length 2, to apex of elytra 1^ mm. 



Hah. — Darling Ranges, W.A. (on the common "black boy" 

 JCanthorrhoea sp.). 



In appearance close to the preceding species but slightly wider, 

 punctures of both prothorax and elytra considerably smaller, the 

 antennae of uniform colour throughout, the prothorax minutely 

 corrugated and the abdominal margins at a very feeble angle. 

 The apex of the clypeus causes the head to appear as if margined 

 with a piece of highly polished metal. The transverse corruga- 

 tions of the prothorax are most distinct along the median line, 

 elsewhere they are interrupted by the punctures. 



H. philorhinoides Fvl. Hob. — South Australia; Tasmania. 



H. Gayndahense Macl. Hah. — Brisbane; Tweed River. 



H. Morrisi Blackb. Hah. — Victoria; Tasmania. 



H. Tasmanicum Blackb. Hab. — Tasmania. 



LlSPINUS RIVULAR1S, 11. Sp. 



"Elongate, depressed, subparallel, shining. Testaceous-brown, 

 appendages paler (but antennae darker than legs), head piceous, 

 elytra slightly infuscate at apex, abdomen (except the 6th segment 

 and the apex of each of the others) darker than prothorax. 

 Abdomen clothed with sparse yellowish hair, elsewhere the 

 clothing very much sparser. 



Head feebly transverse, with rather small scattered punctures. 

 Clypeus feebly impressed on each side. Antennae as in L. Sidne- 

 ensis. Prothorax moderately transverse, with rather small and 

 irregularly distributed punctures, the interspaces microscopically 

 punctate; basal half with four shallow longitudinal impressions, 

 the lateral ones rather deeper and wider than the median. 

 Elytra slightly wider than and about once and one-half the length 

 of prothorax, with scattered punctures of similar size to those on 

 prothorax, sutural stria as in L. Sidneensis. Abdomen parallel-
