9- Differs in being somewhat paler and with a more cylindrical 

 rostrum. 



Hab. — Cairns, N.Q. (Macleay Museum). 



Differs from internatus in being narrower, rather highly 

 polished, the 1st sutural stria not bifurcate near apex, and with 

 much feebler punctures and strife ; te7iuitarsis is described as 

 having the elytra " sulcato-foveatis." 



ScHizoTRACHELUS DiCHROUS, Lacord. — Appears to be a common 

 species from Cairns to the Richmond River. My specimens vary 

 in length from 9 to 25 mm. 



ANTHRIBID^. 



Bythoprotus lineatus, Pasc. — Mr. Pascoe described this 

 species as coming from Aneiteum in the New Hebrides ; in 

 Masters' Catalogue it is recorded as from Lizard Island ; the 

 mistake doubtless arose from the description appearing imme- 

 diately after some species described from the latter place. 



BRUCHID^. 



This family does not appear to be numerously represented in 

 Australia. Only four species of the genus Bruchus, of which, 

 moreover, three have been introduced, have as yet been 

 recorded.* Of these B. quadrigxUtatus is unknown to me ; B. 

 obtecius I have from New South Wales and Western Australia; 

 B. chinensis from North Queensland, New South Wales and 

 Western Australia; and B. jnsi from England. I can add to 

 the list only six species, all of which appear to be undescribed. 



Following is a Table of the Species : — 



Autennte pectinate in ^ chinensis, Thuub. 



AntennjB at most serrate. 



Femora edentate perpastus, n.sp. 



Posterior femora dentate. 



Prothorax and elytra red semicalvus, n.a]). 



Protliorax and elytra black.
