apex, disc with three large and very distinct punctures, elsewhere 

 impunctate. Scuteihim smooth, impunctate. Elytra punctate- 

 striate, the striie moderately deep near suture, becoming very 

 feeble towards sides; punctures moderately large, somewhat 

 rounded, not very close together, smaller at sides than about 

 middle, entirely absent on flattened apical portion. Under 

 surface impunctate except on metasternal episterna, intercoxal 

 process of abdomen, and sutures of the third and fourth segments. 

 Femora stout; tibi?e seriate-punctate, each puncture carrying a 

 scale. Length 3|, rostrum i; width IJ mm. 



Hab.—Q.: Wide Bay. 



A highly polished species, which should be easily recognised 

 on account of the three large punctures or small foveae on the 

 prothorax, and the peculiar flattening of the apical portion of the 

 • elytra.

Head round, vertex slightly flattened; ocular fovea indistinct. 

 JSyes large, round, finely faceted, distant. Rostrum long, straight, 

 subparallel, punctate. Antemut rather short; scape short, 

 inserted slightly before or slightly behind middle of rostrum and 

 not extending to apex; two basal joints of funicle elongate, the 

 rest transverse; club elliptic, ovate or briefly ovate, subsolid. 

 Prothorax subtriangular, feebly or not at all overhanging head, 

 base bisinuate. Scutellum small, round, raised, distinct. Elytra 

 closely applied to prothorax, base trisinuate, shoulders slightly 

 projecting, apex mucronate. Pectoral canal rather narrow, deep, 

 terminated between anterior and intermediate coxce. Meso- 

 sternal receptacle raised, open, transverse or longitudinal. Meta- 

 sternum. large; episterna wide. Ahdome^i with distinct sutures, 

 two basal segments large or very large. Legs comparatively 

 short; femora dentate, feebly grooved beneath, not extending to 

 apical segment of abdomen; tibiae thin, compressed, ridged 

 beneath; in addition to the terminal hook (which is above the 

 .average size) with a small tooth immediately below insertion of
