^254 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID.E, 



Rostrmn in ^ parallel-sided to antennae, feebly dirainishinjj 

 thence to apex and finely punctate, on base with three acute 

 ridges; in 9 slightly diminishing in width from base to apex, a 

 little more noticeably in front of than behind antennae, basal 

 ridges feeble. Scape in ^ the length of funicle, insex-ted one- 

 third from apex of rostrum and passing apex; in 9 shorter than 

 funicle, inserted two-fifths from apex, thinner than in ^ and less of 

 it passing apex; funicle with 1st joint very slightly longer than the 

 2nd. Prothorax densely punctate, punctures moderately distinct. 

 Elytra almost twice the width of prothorax, striate-punctate, 

 punctures not very large ; alternate interstices acutely ridged. 

 Three intermediate segments of abdomen straight. Claw-joint 

 exserted for more than half its length. Length 3, rostrum 14; 

 width 14; variation in length 2|-3| mm.

The spots on the prothorax and elytra are variable both in size 

 and number. I have a specimen in which the rostrum and pro- 

 thorax are almost black, the latter with two patches of reddish 

 scales, each patch with a pale spot in its middle, the median line 

 marked with pale scales; in another specimen the red scales form 

 a large trident shaped patch. 



LyB^BA CONSANGUINEA, n.sp. 



^. Red ; sterna more or less tinged with piceous. Clothed 

 with pale yellowish scales, longer and denser on under than on 

 upper surface; the rostrum clothed to antennae; the elytra appear- 

 ing to be feebly spotted in places owing to the partial absence of 

 scales 



Rostrum parallel-sided to antennae and with three acute 

 ridges; feebly diminishing in width and rather strongly punctate 

 from antenna to apex. Scape slightly longer than funicle, 

 inserted one-third from apex of rostrum; 1st joint of funicle, if 

 anything, slightly shorter than 2nd. Protlwrax densely punctate; 

 with a very feeble median carina which is traceable only at apex. 

 Elytra considerably wider than prothorax; striate-punctate, punc-
