sternum and base of abdomen, all the segments granulate, the 

 granules largest on the second ventral segment, smallest on the 

 metasternum, on the fifth interstice coalescing near apex to form 

 a series of transverse strigse. Tibite simple, with a row of 

 granules on undersurface; tarsi and claw-joints as in the genus. 



9. Differs from the male in being more ovate. Head more 

 obsoletely punctate; rostrum with lateral margins less widened 

 at base. Prothorax (4 x 5 mm.) narrower, not widely dilatate, 

 less strongly rounded on sides: disc not so widely depressed, but 

 with a deeper, median, impressed line; granules less flattened, 

 with the concentric impressions less definite; lateral margins 

 with denticles more strongly developed. Elytra (11 x 7 mm.) 

 rather longer than in the male, apex not acuminate, base with 

 shoulders rounded; sculpture as in the male. Undersurface 

 more convex, basal segments slightly flattened, not granulate, 

 but with a somewhat shagreened appearance; apical segment 

 rather feebly, transversely rugulose. Dimettsions : ^, 16 x 7 mm; 

 9, 16x7 mm.

Type in Coll. Ferguson; cotypes in National Museum, Mel- 

 bourne. 



This species is allied to J/, hercules Ferg., but differs in the 

 strongly rounded prothorax, in the non-acuminate elytra, with 

 the basal angles rounded, and in the more granulate undersurface, 

 as well as in its smaller size. 



A second male before me has the prothorax less strongly 

 dilatate; the head is also more obsoletely punctured.

Size small to moderate, never very large. Head convex, 

 separated from rostrum by a transverse impression; supraocular 

 crests present, simple. Rostrum short, wide, flat or feebly de- 

 pressed above, the lateral margins not strongly raised. Scape 

 long; second joint of funicle generally longer than first. Pro-
