658 NEW SPECIKS OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, X., 



at base than at apex, widest at apical third, surface obtusely 

 elevated in places; with small, dense, concealed punctures. 

 Elytra much wider than prothorax ; with rows of large punc- 

 tures, appearing much smaller through clothing ; first to 

 third interstices with a large acute tubercle overhanging the 

 posterior declivity, fifth with a fairly large, obtuse tubercle 

 also at summit of declivity. Length (excluding rostrum), 8 J 

 mm. 



Ilah. — Victoria: Mount Buffalo (H. J. Carter). 



The large tubercle on each elytron, placed from the suture 

 to the third interstice, appears to be almost conjoined with its 

 fellow on the other elytron ; it is considerably posterior to the 

 one on the fifth interstice, although this also overhangs the 

 posterior declivity. On the type they are all connected by a 

 streak of brown scales. The two first rows of punctures on 

 each elytron are interrupted, but not deflected, by the large 

 tubercle, but the fourth to seventh rows are all deflected by 

 the tubercle on the fifth interstice. 



Uroleptops impar, n.sp. 



Black, antennae and tarsi reddish. Densely clothed with 

 light-brown, or brownish-grey scales ; rather thickly inter- 

 spersed with setae, stout on the upper-surface, thinner and 

 longer on the under-surface and legs. 



Head with small, dense, concealed punctures. Rostrum 

 not much longer than wide, as wide at apex as at base, with a 

 partially concealed median carina ; punctures concealed except 

 on apical triangle. Prothorax as wide at apex as at base, 

 widest slightly in advance of the middle, obtusely elevated in 

 places : and with dense, concealed punctures. Elytra at base 

 not much wider than prothorax, but much wider across 

 middle : with rows of large, partially concealed punctures : 

 third interstice with a rather large conical tubercle at summit 

 of posterior declivity, and deflecting the adjacent rows of 

 punctures ; fifth with a smaller one, not so conspicuously de- 

 flecting the rows. Length, l-ll mm.
