strongly incrassate towai'ds apex. Prothorax (2-5x3 mm ) 

 slightly broader than long; lateral margins with two, small, 

 dentiform projections anterior to middle, and with a lidge of 

 small granules extending from middle to base; base truncate, 

 latero-basal angle well marked; subapical constriction moder- 

 ately well marked; median impression distinct only in basal 

 portion, bordered on each side at base by two, small tubercles; 

 disc elsewhere distantly set with very small granules; sides 

 with a few granules above. Elytra (6x4 mm.) obovate, broadest 

 rather anterior to middle ; base not emarginate, humeral 

 angles rounded; disc rather strongly convex from side to side; 

 seriate punctures small, the striie moderately deep; interstices 

 set with small granules, more distinct towards sides; lateral 

 . interstices not granulate. Undersurface subnitid, with scattered 

 punctures at base, these coarser and closer together on the apical 

 segment. Anterior coxae contiguous ; anterior tibiae feebly 

 curved, intermediate and posterior tibiae practically straight. 



9. More ovate; prothorax with lateral, dentiform projections 

 hardly traceable; elytra broader. Dimeiisions : (J, 9x4 mm.- 

 9, 11 X 5-5 mm. 



Hab.- W.A.: Darling Ranges (A. M. Lea). 



Type in Coll. Ferguson. 



I think I am right in sexing the specimens before me; there 

 are four, two small and two larger; but, apart from the larger 

 size, the only difference in the presumed females is the broader 

 elytra. In all, the undersurface appears to be feebly convex at 

 the base; this is usually a female character, but I am certain 

 that the type is a male, as the abdomen is protruded sufficiently 

 to enable the two, apical, dorsal tergites to be seen. 



The species is readily distinguished from all the other de- 

 scribed species with dentate sides, by the sparseness and fineness 

 of the prothoracic granules. 



CUBICORRHYNCHUS SETOSUS, n.Sp. 



(J. Small, elongate, subparallel. Clothing dense, brownish, on 

 elytra indistinctly maculate with greyish, rostrum and legs 

 clothed with grey; setse long, light-coloured.
