632 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID^, X., 



Scape inserted in exact middle of rostrum, not quite reaching 

 apex; two basal joints of funicle elongate, 1st as long as 2nd-3rd, 

 2nd not as long as 3rd-4th, 7th rather large, subadnate to club: 

 club short, but on account of 7th funicular joint appearing elon- 

 gate. Prothorax subtriangular, sides slightly rounded; disc 

 feebly convex and with a feeble median carina not extending to 

 base or apex; densely and regularly punctate, punctures small. 

 Scutellum small, raised, rounded, somewhat irregular. Elytra 

 slightly wider than prothorax and more than twice its length, 

 sides decreasing in almost perfectly straight lines from base to 

 near apex, apex with a small sharp mucro; base trisinuate, on 

 each side of suture and the shoulders feebly impinging on pro- 

 thorax; punctate-striate, punctures feeble and much obscured by 

 scales, interstices rounded, wider than punctures, regular; suture 

 slightly raised and granulate, granules reddish. Under surface 

 densely and regularly punctate. Anterior and posterior legs 

 moderately long; posterior femora slightly passing 3rd abdominal 

 segment, teeth of anterior sharper than those of posterior, which 

 are obtuse; subapical teeth of anterior tibiae small but moderately 

 distinct, on posterior they are very small. Length 11 J, rostrum 

 3; width 4f; variation in length 5^-1 2 J mm. 



9. Differs in having the rostrum thinner, shining, less coarsely 

 punctate and without median line; scape inserted slightly nearer 

 base than apex, and not extending as far as in $; the club is a 

 little shorter and thinner, and the body is slightly more robust.

EuTHYRRHiNUS spiNiPENNis, Waterh,, var. orientalis, n.var. 



A specimen from Port Phillip (Berlin Museum), and another 

 from the Victorian Alps (Rev. T. Blackburn), agree in all 

 structural details with E, spinipennis^ but have very different 

 clothing. The prothorax and elytra are entirely without the 

 characteristic blue-black scales; the prothorax has the elongate 

 median fascicles of a brown colour, and rather less distinct; the 

 scales elsewhere are brown and ochreous; towards the sides there 

 are numerous white scales. On the elytra the scales are some-
