truncate; anterior angles distant from neck, marked, obtuse; 

 border narrow (narrowed at basal sinuosities), thickened at 

 anterior angles; marginal channel narrow, 5-punctate; median 

 line fine; basal area defined by a light transverse impression; a 

 shallow wide impression on each side near basal sinuosities. 

 Elytra a little wider than prothorax (11x5-3 mm.), convex, 

 widest about middle, strongly declivous to sides and apex ; 

 suture deeply impressed; base lightly emarginate, abruptly de- 

 clivous, pluripunctate (9 punctures) on ench side in an irregular 

 depression; border thick, rounded at humeral angles (not folded 

 back or dentate). Ventral segments impunctate, except at apex. 

 Anterior femora wide at union with coxse; intermediate coxae, 

 posterior coxse, and ti'ochanters without setigerous punctures.

Hab. — Queensland ; Kuranda (Dodd). Type in Coll. Sloane 

 (unique). 



This is the species referred to as 7'. graiidiceps Chaud., in the 

 table of species I have given in these Proceedings, 1905, p. 131; 

 but having recently obtained a species ticketed "Queensland," 

 which agrees closely with Chaudoir's description of his Mono- 

 centrum (jrandiceps, I can see that my former identification was 

 erroneous, and that the Kuranda species is undescribed. 



Note.—T. (jrandiceps Chaud., as now identified b}' me, differs 

 from T. robuslum by its narrow, parallel form; less ampliate 

 head, eyes mucli less prominent, the spaces on each side between 

 the frontal sulci and eyes wider posteriorly and more abruptly 

 declivous to eyes; prothorax narrower, longer, more cylindrical, 

 parallel on sides, lateral border narrower, anterior angles less 

 wide and prominent, two marginal setigerous punctures on each 

 side; elytra narrower, not wider than prothorax, more parallel. 

 Length, 205; head, 4-5 across eyes; prothorax, 5-3 x 45; elytra, 

 10 X 4'4 mm. 



Teratidium procekum, n.sp. 



Narrow, elongate, subcylindrical. Head as in T. laticeps SI., 

 but clypeus decidedly trisinuate, intermediate angles more pro- 

 minent, orbits less prominent, less strongly raised from head;
