liorizon tally strigose, its flanks and the whole meso- and meta-

 sions : 14 X 10| mm. 



Hah.— Queensland. 



A single specimen (9) was generously given to me by Mr. J. 

 C. Goudie, who tells me that he received it from Mr, C. French. 

 It bears a label "Q. 1902.' It is remarkable for its prolonged 

 beak (Text-tigs. 9-10). The length of the head thus prolonged is 

 almost exactly the same as that of the prothorax, viz., 3?^ mm. 

 This character, combined with its robust form, and the truncate 

 apices of the elytra, make it easy to identify. The elytral 

 pattern is somewhat as in *S. cupreojiava Saund. Type in Coll. 

 Carter.
