Dicrochile Mimuta: length 52’; black, rather brilliant ; 
head oval, thorax small, almost square, very nearly as long 
as broad, rounded laterally, covered with transverse striole ; 
it has large lateral borders, a longitudinal sulcate in the 
middle, and indistinct transverse impressions in front and 
behind ; elytra broader than the thorax, elongated, striated ; 
the intervals between the striz rather elevated, the one 
between the second and third bearing three small punctiform 
impressions; a short striz near the scutellum ; a few punc- 
tiform impressions near the lateral margin. 
From Melbourne, the Mountains of Victoria, Tasmania,

South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, to the southern

river.
