2nd-6th subcyliiidric, 7th transverse, 2nd as long as 3rd-4th. 

 Prothorax slightly transverse, convex, sides slightly incurved 

 towards apex, slightly rounded towards base, base bisinuate; 

 scutellar lobe with a very feeble longitudinal ridge, a still 

 more feeble one at apex ; with minute and very minute 

 punctures throughout. Scutelhmi small, shining, transverse, 

 within a depression. Elytra closely applied to prothorax, base 

 trisinuate, shoulders feebly clasping prothorax, widest slightly 

 behind base; very feebly striate, the striae almost invisible near 

 apex; with rather small, distinct punctures at base and sides, 

 rather distant and only in striae. Urider surface scarcely visibly 

 punctate; intercoxal process with an oblique groove on each side. 

 Legs finely punctate; claw-joint setose. Length 8, rostrum 3^; 

 width 4 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland; New South Wales (Tweed and Richmond 

 Rivers). 



An elegant and very abundant species; the derm beneath the 

 lines of scales is feebly grooved, so that the scales do not rise 

 above the general surface, a character also possessed by the fol- 

 lowing species.

Black, feebly shining; antennae and claws piceous-red. With 

 similar but much sparser scales than on preceding; base of pro- 

 thorax very feebly margined, two lines on elytra — one about one- 

 sixth from base on the disc only and not extending to suture by 

 more than one interstice; one about one-fourth from apex partly 

 continued on to sides and interrupted at suture, usually without 

 scales elsewhere, but a few spots occasionally in the vicinity of 

 suture about the middle. Under surface and legs with feeble 

 scattered scales. Ciliation duller, but otherwise as in preceding. 



Rather broader and less convex than, but very similar to, the 

 preceding. Head densely and not very minutely punctate; ocular 

 fovea deep, distinct, in ^ separated from eyes by a flat, narrow, 

 punctate space, in 9 rising gradually to eyes. Rostrum rather 

 coarsely and densely punctate in ^J, feebly in 9 '■> lateral
