Aun. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, viii. p. 39-5 (1891). I give a figure of this curious Australian species (fig. 10) and an enlarged outline showing the form of the anterior tibia. Fiff. Saprinodes falcifer, Lew. Hypocaccus ainii, sp. n. Ovalis, convexus, seneo-niger, nitidus ; fronte obscure rugosa, carina valida ; pronoto post oculos foveolato ; elytris striis 1-4 dorsalibus dimidiatis, 4 cum sufcurali arcuatim juucta; pygidio punctato et transversim rugose; tibiis anticis valide 4-deutatis. L. 3 mill. Oval, convex, coppery black, shining; the head, clypeus rugose, frontal carina strong and angulate on eitlier side, upper surface somewhat obscurely and very irregularly rugose, the rugosities are confined to the anterior half; the thorax is densely punctured at the sides, with a broad band of punc- tures along the base and a narrow one behind the neck, disk feebly punctulate, marginal stria angulate at a fovea behind the eye and straight behind the neck ; the elytra, outer sub- humeral stria is wanting, inner short and dimidiate with an appendage split at both ends, strise 1-3 nearly equal and reaching the middle, 4 as long as the tliird and joining the sutural at the base, the surface is punctured only behind the striae, the sutural stria is not continued along the apex; the propygidium is densely punctured; the pygidium is somewhat similarly pointed, but except at the apex it is transversely rugose; the prosternum is markedly.
