No sexual differences are to be seen among the six specimens brought 

 to America by Mr. Koebele, and they are probably all females. 



Anodontonyx harti, n. sp. 



Oblongus, ferrugiiieus, vel piceus, convexus, crebre fortiter punctatus ; pectore 

 utrinque parum hirsuto; elytris ad latera longuis setosis, inter punctaturain lineis 

 elongatis conspicuis. Long., l*2-13 mm . 



Mas: tarsis omnibus elongatis. 



This is not very different in color and punctuation from A. vigilans, 

 but is distinguished by some important structural characters. The form 

 is more oblong and elongate. The clypeus is rounded in front, aud its 

 margin is very strongly elevated. The sides and hind angles of the 

 thorax are much rounded. The pygidium is somewhat obsoletely punct- 

 ured at the base, smooth towards the apex. There is only a single 

 carina on the prosternum behind the coxre. The male has the hind 

 tarsi 5£ millimeters long, whereas in the female they are only 3J. In 

 this latter sex the anterior tibiie are remarkably broad, the three teeth 

 on it also very broad. 



This interesting insect was discovered by the late Mr. Hart during 

 his stay at Adelaide in 1886. Although at that locality only for a 

 short time, and when he was in very weak health, he formed a most 

 interesting collection of Ooleoptera. The specimens of A. harti de- 

 scribed above were given to me by his friend, Mr. W. R. Jeffrey, of 

 Ashford, Kent.

The Tiueid genus Menesia, to which Professor Riley has kindly re- 

 ferred this species for me, was erected by Dr. Clemens for the reception 

 of a particularly aberrant Gelechiid, which he described from a single
