Sab.— Perth, W.A. 



I have received a single specimen of the above from Mr. W. 

 L. Du Boulay. While closely allied to S. crenicollis Pasc, and 

 therefore totally unlike all other known species, it differs from 

 that species in (1) the strongly dentate edges of prothorax; (2) 

 the curiously undulate surface of the elytra; and (3) the much 

 less regular pustulation of the elytral disc. My specimen is 

 distinctly smaller than each of three specimens of S. crenicollis, 

 before me, whose average is 13 x 5 mm. 



Seirotrana uniformis, n.sp. 



Elongate-ovate, convex, black, nitid, antennae, palpi and tarsi 

 piceous. 



Head coarsely punctate; antennae stout, four apical joints con- 

 tinuously increasing in size, apical joint much the largest and 

 oval. Prothorax convex, a little wider than long, front and base 

 subtruncate; anterior angles very moderately advanced and nearly 

 rectangular; base somewhat bilateral from the advance of the 

 central portion of the elytra; posterior angles rectangular. Sides 

 evenly and moderately rounded, sinuous towards posterior angles; 

 recurved border at sides thick, narrower at apex, obsolete at Kase. 

 Disc finely punctate, with' larger punctures irregularly scattered 

 on surface, but more frequent near base. Larger fovea at middle 

 of sides near border. Central canal obsolete or scarcely indicated 

 near base. Scutellum widely transverse, apparently smooth. 

 Elytra elongate, subparallel, about twice and one-half as long and 

 same width as prothorax, to which it is closely applied. Punc 

 tate-striate, with eleven stria? on each elytron; punctures in striae 

 large, regular and close. Intervals smooth and convex, especially 

 towards sides and apex. Epipleurae coarsely punctate. Abdomen 

 longitudinally strigose, black and shining. All tibiae bowed. 

 Dimensions — 14 x 5 mm. 



Hab.— Quirindi, N.S.W. (Mr. J. K. Hay). 



Two specimens of the above, labelled Quirindi, N.S.W., were 

 amongst some Coleoptera received from the late Dr. C. D. Clark. 

 While in general shape and colour it approaches S. simplex
