Prothorax transverse. 



Prothorax with four discal fovece foreico/iis, n.sp.

PSEUDAPRIES CORTICALIS Lea, Lc, J. .184. 



JIdh. — Queensland and New vSouih Wales. 



PSEUDAPKIES PTYCHODERES, li.sp. 



Differs from preceding species in being larger, wider, the pro- 

 thorax more transverse, elytra subcordate, front femora not 

 grooved, tlie large scales more numerous on the prothorax and 

 sparser on the elytra. Length 5, rostrum 1; width 2?. nun. 



Hab. — New South Wales: Richmond River(A. M. L^a). 



On comparing this species with P. corticalis, it can at once be 

 seen to be distinct, although the clothing and sculpture are \ery 

 similar. The following species appears also to be distinct. The 

 three species are veiy^ closely allied, but I think they should be 

 treated as distinct species rather than as three forms of one 

 species. 



PSEUDAPRIKS NEBULOSUS, n.sp. 



Differs from P. corticalU in being smaller, narrower, the pro- 

 thorax slightly longer than wide, and the four front femora 

 feebly grooved. The clothing is considerably darker, the stout 

 scales are much more numerous; on the prothorax they are not 

 confined to the sides and apex, and on the elytra they are 

 nearly as numerous towards base as towards apex, and are not 

 confined to the interstices. The under surface and legs aie sup- 

 plied with more numerous setose scales, and the darker rings on 

 the legs are scarcely traceable. Length 3, rostrum |; width 

 1^ mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Couktown(J. Faust). 



PSEUDAPRIES ELUMBIS, n.Sp. 



Piceous-red, antennae and claw-joints dull red; scape much 

 darker than funicle. Densely clothed, except at apex of rostrum.
