G14 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



between the eyes. Compared with argutulum, Pascoe, it differs 

 in being much larger, rostrum more strongly curved, elytral inter- 

 stices (although flat) less regular and the legs comparatively 

 shorter. 



Apion Albertisi, Pasc. — I have a specimen from the Richmond 

 River which agrees very well with Mr. Pascoe's description of 

 this species, except that it is smaller (3 mm.). At first sight it 

 appears to belong to Myrmacicelus rather than to Apion. 



Apion comosum, Pasc. — I have specimens of this species from 

 Bunbury, W. A., and other species both from E. and W. Australia 

 which strongly resemble it, and which induce me to think that 

 Mr. Pascoe was probably mistaken in referring Queensland 

 specimens to comosum. 



A. PULiCARE, Pasc. Hah. — Garden Island, W.A. 



A. ARGUTULUM, Pasc. Hab. — Sydney, Dalmorton, N.S.W.
