BY ARTHUR M. LEA. 307 



narrowing to near apex, at the base wider than deep, becoming 

 deeper than wide at posterior coxae; each elytron with a row of 

 about ten small shining tubercles close to suture, the second 

 interstice bearing the largest tubercle, irregularly shaped, close 

 to the base and equidistant from suture, behind it there are a 

 number of irregular, obsolete setose tubercles, forming a slightly 

 elevated costa which terminates at more than a third from the 

 apex. Legs long; tibice flattened and spurred at apex, a few setai 

 on the other side causing them to appear bispinose; Imsal joint of 

 tarsi elongate, grooved beneath. Length 11 (rostr. excl.), width 

 ih mm. 



5. Differs in having the rostrum smooth, nar]'ow, without 

 scales or seta3, and almost impunctate, tibiae shorter, &c. 



Hah. — North Queensland, Barron Falls (Mr. A. Koel^ele); 

 Cairns (Mr. W. W. Froggatt). 



This species is much the form and size of G. Douhledayi, from 

 which it may be readily distinguished by its somewhat broader 

 form, nontubsrculate and feebl}^ carinated prothorax, the el^^tra 

 with almost obsolete tubercles, shorter legs, differently coloured 

 scales, etc. Both the gentlemen named obtained numerous 

 specimens. 



Tychreus fasciculatus, n.sp. 



Short, ovate, convex. Black; beneath piceous-black, claws 

 reddish. Above, and the legs, densely covered with ashen — 

 intermingled with brown— scales, which completely cover the 

 shining derm, except the basal half of the prothoracic median 

 line; on the undersurface the scales are sparse. Rostrum densely 

 covered with elongate punctures; elytra striate-punctate, the 

 punctures large but almost hidden; meso- and metasternum 

 caarsely and densely punctate at the sides, sparsely punctate in 

 the middle; abdominal segments with stroni*', elongate and rather 

 sparse punctures; legs densely and minutely — the coxse more 

 strongly — punctate. 



Prothorax trisinuate; the scales at the side of the median Ijne 

 with a reddish tint, a pale, oblique, rather indistinct line.
