442 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONIDiE. 



grooves as in preceding. Scape as in preceding; funicle a little 

 stouter, 2nd joint not much longer than 1st, and not the length 

 of 3rd-4th, 6th-7th transverse. Prothorax scarcely if at all 

 transverse, convex; sides slightly incurved towards apex, slightly 

 rounded towards base; base bisinuate; a scarcely traceable median 

 line; with small punctures on disc, becoming very minute on sides, 

 apex with rather strong punctures, each carrying a small seta. 

 Elytra much as in the preceding, but each with ten distinct rows 

 of distant rounded punctures, visible but much smaller near apex, 

 those at the base (before first line of scales) strong and apparently 

 each with a small granule. Groove of inter coxal process longer 

 and shallower than in preceding. Tihice stouter than in preced- 

 ing, the posterior with a narrowly separated squamose ridge on 

 each side at apex, more pronounced in ^ than 5. Length 10, 

 rostrum 4; width 5 mm. 



Hah. — North Queensland. 



It has been suggested to me that this species is but a variety 

 of the preceding, but this is incorrect. It is a rather gloomy- 

 looking insect, without the polished derm and beautiful markings 

 of E. Vigorsii.
