256 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
separately rounded. Anterior tarsi with basal joint thick, longer 
than three following combined, and having a black comb inwardly. 
Length to apex of elytra 4, width 1 J mm. 
Hob. — Galston. 
Differs from C. scapulatus in having the head concolorous, 
the testaceous marking of the elytra much larger, and by its 
differently coloured legs. My unique specimen has the abdomen 
considerably shrunken. 
Carphurus pictipes, n.sp. 
$. Elongate, shining, depressed. Black; muzzle, undersurface 
of first three antennal joints, prothorax, anterior coxae, knees, 
half of posterior tibiae, and basal joint of tarsi, testaceous. Covered 
all over — sparsest on middle of meso-, metasternum and head — 
with short pale pubescence; above with blackish hair, sparsest on 
prothorax, longest on abdomen. Head and prothorax sparsely 
and minutely, elytra very densely, minutely and obsoletely punc- 
tate; flanks of meso- and metasternum minutely, abdomen very 
minutely punctate. 
Head scarcely longer than wide; eyes rather large, not very 
prominent, a foveate impression on each side between them (from 
some directions appearing as two, in others as four longitudinal 
foveae); antennae reaching posterior coxae, 1st joint scarcely as 
long as 2nd-3rd combined, 2nd decidedly shorter than 3rd, 3rd- 
10th subequal in length, 4th-5th triangular, 6th-10th subpecti- 
nate, 11th elongate-ovate, as long as the inner edge of 10th; sides 
and undersurface corrugated; foveae rather large, round, rough- 
walled, open behind. Prothorax strongly rounded, longer than 
wide, not the width of head; an extremely shallow and very 
indistinct impression at base, a stronger interrupted one at apex; 
base very feebly margined, and feebly sinuate. Elytra one and a 
half times as long as head and prothorax combined, sides gradually 
widening to apex, each feebly separately rounded. Length to 
apex of elytra 4 J, of abdomen 6; width If mm. 
Hob. — Como, near Sydney.
