218 Mr. G. C. Champion on the Heteromerous Coleoptera 
thirds of their length, and thence rounded and converging to the 
apex ; coarsely punctate-striate, the punctures very closely placed, 
the strise shallow ; the interstices almost flat, each with one or two 
very irregular rows of coarse scattered punctures, which, like 
those of the strisB, become finer towards the apex. Legs elongate, 
rather stout. Length 9|, breadth 3 mm. ( $ ). 
Hah. Tasmania — Franklin and Hobart. 
Two specimens. Also sent by Mr. Walker to the 
British Museum. 
Homotrysis scabrosa, n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, rather convex ; the head and prothorax 
obscure rufous, opaque; the elytra reddish- brown, slightly shining ; 
the eyes black, the legs and antennae ferruginous ; the upper sur- 
face clothed with fine decumbent fulvous hairs. Head scabrous ; 
the eyes large, very deeply emarginate (the inner portion appear- 
ing oblique), coarsely granulated, separated by a space about 
equalling half the width of one of the eyes as seen from above ; 
the apical joint of the maxillary palpi moderately stout, triangular ; 
antennae rather stout, extending to about two-thirds of the length 
of the elytra, the joints from the third feebly serrate and gradu- 
ally increasing in length, 3 as wide as, but shorter than, 4, 9-11 
very elongate, subequal. Prothorax strongly transverse, feebly 
convex, widest a little before the middle, subtruncate at the base ; 
the sides rounded anteriorly, straight and slightly converging from 
the middle to the base ; the hind angles rectangular ; the surface 
scabrous, the basal fovese well-defined. Elytra about four times 
the length of, and much wider than, the prothorax, parallel to the 
middle and narrowing thence to the apex ; finely and rather deeply 
striate, the striae towards the base only with distinct punctures ; 
the interstices convex, flat on the disc at the base, thickly and 
roughly punctured, the interspaces subgranulate towards the base. 
Legs elongate. Length 5f , breadth 2 mm. ($). 
Hah. W. Australia — Roebuck Bay. 
One male specimen^ sent by Mr. Walker to the 
British Museum. Allied to H. rufa, Blackb.^ from 
Adelaide, but differing from it in its less elongate shape, 
the scabrous head and thorax, and the roughly-punctured 
elytra ; the elytral striae almost impunctate. Under bark 
of white-gum,'^ Eucalyptus sp. (Walker).
