long; hind tibise with a large, thick, triangular tooth at about 

 the middle. Length, 3 mm. 



9. Differs in being larger (4 mm.), antennae shorter and 

 less strongly serrated, legs shorter and hind tibiae simple. 



Ilah. — New South Wales: Mittagong (E. W. Ferguson). 



Readily distinguished from all previously described species 

 by the remarkable hind tibiai of the male. The types were 

 taken in cop. 



Family CURCULIONID^. 

 Subfamily Otiorhynchides. 



MyLLOCERUS BiEODONTOMERUS, U.Sp. 



cf. Dark reddish-castaneous. Densely clothed with white 

 or greyish- white scales ; with a silvery gloss on under-surface. 

 Prothorax with rather numerous, stout setse, scarcely elevated 

 above the scales ; elytra with a row of setse on each interstice, 

 distinct from the sides but much less so from above. 



Head lightly convex, interocular fovea scarcely traceable 

 through clothing. Eyes not very prominent. Rostrum slight- 

 ly wider than long, sides gently incurved, but base wider than 

 apex. Antennae rather long ; scape strongly curved : first joint 

 of funicle slightly longer than second. Profhont.r moderately 

 transverse, sides gently curved, base rather strongly bisinuate, 

 and the same width as apex, the latter lightly incurved at 

 middle ; with dense, concealed punctures. El ytra much wider 

 than prothorax ; with rows of large but almost concealed punc- 

 tures. Femora stout, very finely dentate. Length (including 

 rostrum), 5 J mm.

Differs from M. amhlyrhinus in having the rostrum decidedly 

 longer and the eyes much less prominent, with the space be- 

 tween them much less convex, etc. From J/, rug'icollis it is 

 distinguished by the sides of the prothorax being less rounded, 

 and by the more conspicuous elytral setae, these being scarcely, 

 or not at all, traceable on all the specimens I have seen of that 

 species. From M. sordid us, to which at first it appears to
