246 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONIDiE, VII., 



Anepigraphocls,"*^ n.g. 



Head rather large and convex, not concealed. Eyes large, 

 coarsely faceted, distant. Rostrum long and rather thin, dis- 

 tinctly curved. Antennce moderately thin; scape inserted closer 

 to apex than base of rostrum, the length of funicle; two basal 

 joints of the latter moderately long; club of moderate size, 

 elliptic-ovate. Prothorax transverse, base bisinuate, constriction 

 deep but irregular, ocular lobes very obtuse. Scutellum distinct. 

 Elytra elongate-cordate, wider than prothorax and each separately 

 rounded at base. Pectoral canal deep and narrow, terminated 

 between intermediate cox?e. Mesosternal receptacle feebly raised, 

 U-shaped; slightly cavernous. Metasternum shorter than the 

 following segment, episterna distinct. Abdomen with straight 

 sutures; 1st segment as long as the two following combined, 

 intercoxal process narrow; 2nd, 3rd and 4th equal in length, each 

 slightly shorter than 5th. Legs rather long and thin; femora not 

 grooved, edentate, posterior not passing elytra, tibiae lightly 

 curved; tarsi moderately long, 4th joint longer than 1st. Elliptic, 

 convex, winged. 



Possibly close to Mr. Pascoe's genus Glyphayia, but the ocular 

 lobes distinct, the mesosternal receptacle cavernous, the femora 

 not grooved and edentate, the tarsi with the 4th joint distinctly 

 longer than the 1st, and the 3rd rather widely bilobed. 



Anepigraphocis basiventris, n.sp. 



Black, subopaque, antennee and claw-joints reddish-brown. 

 Prothorax with thin setose scales, one in each puncture; elytra 

 with large adpressed reddish-ferruginous scales, a distinct oblique 

 stripe of cream-coloured scales from each shoulder to near suture 

 just before middle, and a longitudinal patch on each side of apex. 

 Under surface very sparsely squamose except for a patch on each 

 side in front of anterior coxjb; the middle of the metasternum 

 and of basal and apical segments of abdomen with dense setae; 

 legs rather sparsely squamose. Head and rostrum almost 

 glabrous.
