NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
joint longer than 2nd-3rd combined, 2nd not much shorter than 
3rd, 3rd- 10th subequal, serrate internally, 11th scarcely once and 
a half as long as 10th; base and sides finely corrugated; foveae 
of undersurface moderate in size, almost connected, walls feebly 
wrinkled. Prothorax oblong, as wide as head (excluding eyes), 
angles slightly rounded ; a broad shallow impression at base, and 
a shallower interrupted one at apex. Sides of elytra emarginate 
at a third from the apex, at the posterior end of this emargination 
a short stalk — carrying a small globule — projects outwards and a 
little forwards; this globule is somewhat different in colour to the 
apex; each separately rounded. Anterior tarsi with basal joint 
small, not much longer .than second. Length to apex of elytra 3, 
of abdomen 4|; width 14 mm. 
<|>. Differs in having the elytra simple, shorter and thinner 
antennae, and smaller head. 
Hob. — Adelaide (Messrs. Blackburn and Masters); Mt. Lofty, 
S.A. (Lea). 
The colour of this species is very distinct from either of its 
armed congeners. 
Carphurus carinaticeps, n.sp. 
/J . Elongate, shining, depressed. Black ; prothorax with a 
faint purplish reflection and indistinctly diluted with brown; basal 
third of antennae and prothorax dull red; undersurface of head, 
knees, and apices of coxae obscure red. Above with a few long 
blackish hairs, undersurface almost glabrous. Head densely, 
minutely but distinctly punctate; the prothorax and elytra sparsely 
and obsoletely, flanks of meso- and metasternum minutely, 
abdomen indistinctly punctate. 
Head strongly transverse, with three distinct longitudinal 
carinae — one on each side directly behind antennae and close to the 
eyes, the third in the middle — commencing at the clypeus and 
terminating slightly before the others, from some directions all of 
them appear to be double; antennae short, reaching posterior coxae, 
1st joint as long as 2nd-3rd combined, 2nd-10th subequal, 2nd sub- 
cylindric, 3rd-10th broadly obconic, 11th acuminate, as long as
