there are two rather deep and broad impressions, and two 
others smaller towards the angles; elytra oval, strongly 
striated ; the sutural stria diverging towards the scutellum, 
but no abbreviated one; two punctiform impressions on 
the interval between the second and third strie; one 
situated a little after the middle of the length, and the other

Note.--The general form of this insect is very much like 
the one of Sollicitus. 
A large number of other sorts of Argutor inhabit Aus- 
tralia. I postpone their study to my next publication 
on Australian Carabide.
