therefore, that C. sterilis and C. quadraticollis are not really 

 conspecific, but I have little doubt that they are so. T have 

 never seen a specimen of C. quadraticollis from the type-locality 

 (Melbourne) of C. sterilis, the only Cubicorrhynclius I have 

 seen from Melbourne being C ylohicollis Lea, which has quite a 

 differently shaped prothorax. C. strigicollis Kerg., which also 

 occurs in Victoria, is likewise close to C. sterilis, but has a more 

 rounded prothorax.

 verse impression ; front longitudinally and obliquely, rather 

 coarsely strigose, vertex finely and closely reticulo-punctate;
