Under surface with rather sparse but regularly distributed punc- 

 tures, each of which contains a scale. Apical segment with a 

 large round fovea occupying more than half the surface. Femora 

 rather feebly but distinctly dentate, posterior just passing el3'tra. 

 Length 5 J, rostrum 1 J; width 2 J mm. 



9. Differs in being without the large apical fovea of the 

 abdomen; the rostrum squamose at extreme base only, and the 

 scape inserted at its apical two-fifths. 



Hah. — Q. : Endeavour River (Macleay Mus.). 



A very distinct species in general appearance, and in clothing 

 (except of the under surface) resembling many of the species of 

 Storeus. The prothorax at first sight appears to be almost 

 regularly granulate, but this is entirely due to the clothing con- 

 cealing portions of the interstices between the punctures.

Head convex, not concealed, ocular fovea distinct. Eyes very 

 large, finely faceted, subcontiguous. Rostrum slender, longer 

 than prothorax, strongly curved. Antennae slender ; scape 

 inserted nearer apex than base of rostrum; 2nd joint of funicle 

 elongate ; club elongate. Prothorax subconical, ocular lobes 

 almost rectangular, constriction very feeble. Scutellum distinct 

 bat small. Elytra subcordate, more than twice the length of 

 prothorax. Pectoral canal narrow, moderately deep, just passing 

 intermediate coxse. Mesosteimal receptacle not raised, sides equal 

 throughout and rather thin, emargination elongate U-shaped ;

 ment; episterna not very wide. Basal segment of abdomen large, 

 intercoxal process wide and truncate, 2nd two-thirds the length 

 of 1st; 3rd and 4th conjointly slightly longer than 2nd or 5th.
