630 NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



of base and a still feebler one on each side of middle. Scutelluvi 

 transverse, within a depression. Elytra subquadrate. slightly 

 wider than prothorax; feebly granulate; interstices moderately 

 wide and flat. Pygidium scarcely carinate. Legs short; femora 

 scarcely thickened, the anterior feebly dentate, the four posterior 

 edentate. Length 24, rostrum -^ (vix); width 1| mm. 



Hah.— Movint Barker, W.A. 



A short, robust species, allied to querulus and the preceding. 



L^MOSACCUS JUDAICUS, n.sp. 



^. Head, basal two-thirds of prothorax, under surface, and 

 base of femora piceous-black; the rest dull red. Whitish pubes- 

 cence forming a feeble spot on each side of middle of prothorax 

 and clothing base and apex of median line; elytra with a rather 

 large subtriangular scutellar patch, a feeble transverse fascia at 

 basal third, and a still feebler one at apical third. 



Eyes large, rounded, somewhat depressed, moderately separated. 

 Rostrum moderately short, strongly curved, sides near base 

 flattened; basal half strongly, the apical feeblj^ punctured; above 

 antennte appearing fractured. Antenme short, inserted about 

 middle of rostrum; 1st joint of funicle almost as wide as long, 

 2nd feebly, the others strongly transverse. Prothorax depressed 

 along median line and bilobed in front; scarcely depressed on 

 each side at base. Scutellum feebly transverse, within a depres- 

 sion. Elytra considerably longer than wide; strongly (especially 

 the 3rd and 5th-7th interstices) granulate; interstices more or 

 less convex, moderately wide, Propygidium and pygidium 

 carinate. Legs moderately long; anterior femora dentate at base, 

 the others edentate; claw-joint distinct. Length 5 (vix), rostrum 

 #; width 14 mm.

The appearance as if the rostrum had been fractured will 

 distinguish this species from most of its congeners ; variahilis 

 resembles it in this respect, but the two species have scarcely 

 anything else in common.
