254 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
sinuate. Elytra subparallel for a third of their length, then 
dilating towards apex, each feebly rounded towards suture — 
stronger outwardly. Tibiae with blackish setse at their apices; 
anterior tarsi with basal joint as long as three following combined, 
and with a black comb inwardly. Length to apex of elytra 6, of 
abdomen 9 J; width 2| mm. 
Bab.— Forest Reefs. 
I have another specimen — also a male — which has the anterior 
edge of prothorax entire, but I can find no other difference. 
Carphurus testaceipes, n.sp. 
(J. Elongate, shining, depressed. Head, prothorax and legs 
clear testaceous; part of the 1st joint of anterior tarsi and posterior 
trochantins blackish; elytra blackish, with a coppery-green 
reflection; scutellum, meso- and metasternum black; abdomen 
black, the basal segments margined; apical half of the antepen- 
ultimate, and the two apical, red. Covered all over —sparsest on 
head and sterna — with long blackish hair, a few long hairs at 
base of 1st antennal joint; elytra with rather dense whitish 
pubescence, very sparse on meso- and metasternum. Head and 
prothorax with sparse minute punctures; on the elytra they are 
stronger, denser and somewhat rugose; flanks of meso- and 
metasternum minutely, the abdominal segments very minutely 
punctate. 
Head with feeble corrugations at base and sides, longer than 
wide; eyes small, not very prominent; antennae rather thick, 
passing intermediate coxae, 1st joint large, thick, feebly emargi- 
nate on its upper and slightly inflated on its lower edge, as long as 
2nd-4th combined, 2nd equal in length to 4th, and slightly longer 
than 3rd, 6th-llth perceptibly increasing in length, 6th-8th 
rather broad, 9th-llth almost cylindric; a depression on each side 
behind antennae, feebly connected posteriorly, a low broad ridge 
- — behind which is a small fovea — separating them; undersurface 
with two shallow transverse impressions, the longest extending 
between eyes, the other a short distance behind it. Prothorax 
strongly rounded, about as long as wide, as wide as head; a broad
