218 REVISION OF THK AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONIDiE, 



Head densely punctate; eyes subreniform, rather large, coarsely 

 faceted, separation about half the width of rostrum. Rostrum 

 long, slightly curved, thin, parallel-sided except for a very feeble 

 incurvature between antennte and apex; densely and somewhat 

 irregularly punctate, punctures feebler towards apex; from some 

 directions appearing feebly carinate; a feeble lateral groove not 

 parallel with scrobe and continued from eye to apex. Antenna? 

 inserted about three-sevenths from apex of rostrum ; scape 

 scarcely extending to apex; two basal joints of funicle moder- 

 ately elongate, 3rd-4th subglobose, 5th-7th transverse; club ovate. 

 Frothorax feebly transverse and (including the head) subcordate, 

 base bisinuate, sides rounded; emargination feeble, lobes feeble; 

 densely punctate, punctures at extreme apex smaller than else- 

 where, without trace of median line. Scutelkim small, round, 

 densely punctate. Elytra not much wider than prothorax, 

 elongate-cordate, shoulders oblique; each with nine rows of sub- 

 oblong subcontiguous punctures set in grooves; intei'stices (except 

 1st and 2nd at their bases) distinctly raised and narrow, at base 

 near suture as wide or nearly as wide as punctures, elsewhere 

 much narrower; suture tlat almost to apex, rather densely and 

 irregularly punctate; interstices distinctly punctate at sides near 

 base, near apex almost impunctate. Pectoral canal moderately 

 wide, rather deep; separation of anterior coxfe distinct. Meso- 

 sternal plate joined to metasternum by a short, shining, depressed 

 space, thence widened at almost right angles; the sides distinctly 

 raised (leaving a hollow space) and directed obliquely inwards to 

 apex ; apex wide, emarginate. Disc of metasternum feebly 

 depressed, densely punctate ; episterna each with one row of 

 small, shallow and rather distant punctures. Abdomen not very 

 densely punctate, the punctures almost as large as those on meta- 

 sternum ; basal segment large, intercoxal process semicircular, 

 raised and almost impunctate, a feeble projection in its middle; 

 intermediates combined slightly longer than 2nd or apical, each 

 with one distinct row of punctures in middle ; apical with a 

 feeble depression at apex. Legs moderately long; trochantins, 

 especially the anterior, separated from cox^ by a rather distinct
