ture of thorax, but the sides of the latter in howitti are entire not granulate; in 

 odewahni they are broken by very strong prominent marginal granules. The 

 elytra of the latter have 4 rows of elongate granules (or costae), the interspaces 

 with irregularly disposed sharp granules and sliort hairs, in howitti the inter- 

 spaces have each a median row of somewhat similar granules, the intennediate 

 space irregularly, not closely punctured. I have only the type of each." 



Styrus batesi Haag. (Jour. Mus. Godeffr., p. 117-118 footnote) nom. nov. for 

 iS'. elongatulus Bates. 



Saragod'inuii batesi Haag. Id., p. 117. 



Tliese two names appear to have been confused aiul the latter omitted from 

 Gebien's catalogue. In my "Revision of the N.yctozoilides" (Ann. Queensland 

 Mus., 1911, p. 12) I placed Bates's Styrus as a probable sjmonym of S. elonya- 

 tulus Macl., of which I have eotypes. Of a larger species from Dalveen (Q.)) 

 Mr. Blair writes "Your .specimen I regard as S. elongatulus Bates, with which 

 it agi'ees in size, colour, sculpture, etc., but from which it differs in the shape 

 (if the thorax. The latter in the type has the sides more widely and evenly 

 rounded, as in latior .... and the ])osterior angles directed backwards instead 

 of outwards." 



Agasthenes goudiei Cart. = A. euclensis Cart. On comiiaring a second ex- 

 ample of the former with the type of the latter, I consider that the second name 

 should be sunk, the differences formerly noted being rather individual than 

 specific. 



COTULADES TUliERCULATUS, n. Sp. 



Convex and widely oval ; chocolate brown, elytra with pale patches of light 

 fascicles, surface clothed with coarse recumbent hairs. 



Head: Epistoma concave in front, forehead rather tlat except for a strong 

 depression on each side, sculpture obscured by bristly clothing; antennae very 

 wide, joints strongly transverse and closely fitting; 1st and 3rd longer than the 

 rest, 11th narrower than 10th, oval, the rest subequal. 



Prothoiax ovate, very convex and uneven; at apex a little wider than head, 

 and produced in middle; base subtruncate, sides lightly rounded, margins a little 

 crenulated — the true crenulations not easily distinguished from the apparent ones 

 caused by the short bristles; disc with four strongly raised protuberances, two, 

 rather close, overhanging anterior margin ; two much larger — one at centre of 

 each lobe; the middle part forming a deep, wide oval de])ression; also a foveate 

 depression near each hind angle; all angles rounded off. 



Klytra strongly convex, of same width as protliorax at base, the produced 

 angulate humeri fitting the pronotal foveae; sides tlience (i))li(juely wiilene<l and 

 forming a second angle at junction with straight portion ; abruptly narrowed at 

 apex; each elytron with three interrui)ted costae, terminating in large tubercles 

 on ajjical area, a wiih' sutural area flatter than the rest; sculpture, as on rest 

 of surface, obscured by thick liiistly hairs, but a few large, widely set, punctures 

 and some small sliiniiig tubercles can he made out; the lateral area, outside the 

 2ud sub-costa, containing an irregular row of pale fascicles, also a strong bimdle 

 of these on apical third, between 1st and 2nd sub-costa. Dimensions : 41 x 2 1 mm.

I have an example of C. fasciaduris Pasc. from Tasmania, and five of C. 

 montanus Blackb. from the Blue Mountains. C. tuberrulatus is larger, especially 

 wider, than cither of these, witli a much more uneven and bristly surface. In C.
