610 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID.T:, X., 



noticeable, though this is due largely to the clothing. Pascoe 

 does not mention the sculpture of the prothorax of C. histrio^ but 

 in the specimens before me it is evidently much as in P. elumhis, 

 although the clothing is so dense, that, without knowing what to 

 look for, the grooves could easily be overlooked. In the table 

 given above it would be placed next to F. ehimhis. 



PSEUDAPRIES FOVEICOLLIS, n.sp. 



Rostrum piceous; antennae and tarsi dull piceous-red. Densely 

 clothed with large, soft, pale, fawn-coloured scales, feebly mottled 

 on the elytra but perfectly uniform in colour on prothorax. 

 Prothorax at apex and sides, and elytra on alternate interstices, 

 with stout and rather sparse suberect scales. 



Rostrum moderately long, not very thin, parallel-sided, punc- 

 tures entirely concealed. Scape short, inserted slightly nearer 

 base than apex of rostrum, almost one-half the length of funicle 

 and club combined. Prothorax feebly trans\'erse, apex more than 

 half the width of base, constriction deep and well defined; with 

 four discal fovese, which are almost equal in size, the two lateral 

 isolated, the two median feebly connected along middle; base 

 strongly bisinuate. Elytra not much wider than prothorax and 

 twice as long, sides subparallel to near apex; striate-punctate, 

 striae distinct, punctures almost concealed, suture and alternate 

 interstices scarcely visibly raised. Punctures of under surface 

 and legs entirel}^ concealed. Femora thinner than usual, edentate 

 and not grooved. Length 5|, rostrum Vi\ width 21mm. 



Zra6.— N.W.A.: Roebuck Bay. 



A very distinct species; the specimen described was kindly 

 given to me by Rev. T. Blackburn (No.4689), who received it 

 from Mr. J. J. Walker. The median prothoracic excavation is 

 almost obsolete in the middle, but becomes foveate at each end, 

 so tliat the disc appears to be supplied with four almost equal- 

 sized foveae. 



PSEUDAPRIES JUBATUS, n.sp. 



Piceous-red, antennae and claw-joints red. Densely clothed 

 with scales of a uniform and rather dark fawn. Head and base 

 of rostrum (the apical half glabrous) with semierect scales, larger
