in having the prothorax decidedly shorter, scape less, and dif- 

 ferently, thickened at apex, and eyes more conspicuous. The 

 femora appear to be edentate, although each is somewhat 

 swollen at the position where a tooth would be. 



Myllocerus anoplus, n.sp. 



Blackish, legs and antennae (club excepted) reddish. Dense- 

 ly clothed with golden and golden-green scales. 



Tlead gently convex. Eyes not very prominent. Rostrum 

 short, sides gently diminishing in width to apex, carinas not 

 traceable. Antennae long ; scape strongly curved ; first joint 

 of funicle almost twice the length of second. Prothorax as 

 long as wide, sides gently rounded, base moderately bisinuate 

 and a trifle wider than apex, which is truncate. Elytra much 

 wider than prothorax ; with rows of almost concealed punc- 

 tures. Femora rather stout, edentate. Length, 3J mm. 



^«i.— Queensland : Dalby (Mrs. F. H. Hobler). 



A very small species, in some respects close to M. grafus, 

 but rostrum decidely shorter, and first joint of funicle almost 

 twice the length of second. The rostrum is much shorter than 

 in M. trepidus and J/, inastersi, the eyes are less prominent 

 and the elytral setae, which are not at all elevated, are much 

 less conspicuous ; in fact the elytra at first appear to be entire- 

 ly without setae, and it is only from certain directions that a 

 feeble row may be seen on each interstice. In my Table, it 

 would be associated with M . elegans, from which it differs in 

 its much smaller size, shorter and differently formed rostrum, 

 and longer prothorax. On the type, the green scales are 

 nowhere conspicuously spotted, the golden and golden-green ones 

 appearing to be irregularly mixed together, and giving the 

 surface a peculiarly soft appearance; appearing almost greyish- 

 green to the naked eye. On the legs, they are paler than else- 

 where. 



Myllocerus sulcicornis, n.sp. 

 Black, legs obscurely reddish. Densely clothed with whitish 

 green scales, variegated with black.
