266 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
DlRCCEA 4-MACULATA, n.Sp. 
Elongate, convex, shining. Dark piceous-brown, muzzle, apex 
of prothorax, apex of elytra, and spurs indistinctly paler; each 
elytron with two small macule — the first and largest situated 
about a fourth from the base, and midway between side and 
suture, elliptic or ovate in shape, and very slightly oblique; the 
second situated about a third from the apex, a little closer to 
suture than to side, and transversely rounded. Moderately 
clothed with very short greyish pubescence, a little more densely 
on abdominal segments than above. Head, prothorax and sterna 
densely and minutely punctate; elytra at base feebly transversely 
punctate-strigose; rest of elytra and abdominal segments very 
minutely punctate. 
Head round; antennae somewhat flattened, reaching to midway 
between intermediate and posterior coxae, 1st joint not as long as 
2nd-3rd combined, 2nd more than half the length of 3rd, 3rd-10th 
subequal, 11th not once and a half as long as 10th, 9th-llth 
slightly concave inwardly. Prothorax subquadrate, base narrowly 
margined and almost truncate; median line very feebly traceable, 
a distinct but rather small fovea marking its base. Elytra about 
four times as long as wide, shoulders rounded, sides parallel to 
about a third from the apex, traces of a number of costse on basal 
half, entirely obsolete on apical. Posterior tibiae feebly depressed, 
serrate on their outer edge; spurs very short, not quite equal; 
basal joint of tarsi twice the length of the following, the two 
combined as long as tibiae. Length 4-J, width 1 mm.
