422 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID.E, VIII., 



duced; witli dense concealed punctures and scattered shining 

 granules. Elytra scarcely more than twice the length of pro- 

 thorax; striate-punctate, punctures concealed; interstices sepa- 

 rately convex, wider than punctures, with rather numerous small 

 shining granules becoming smaller posteriorly. Under surface 

 with dense, regular, partially concealed punctures. Femora 

 minutely dentate. Length 4, rostrum \\; width 2 mm. 



Hab.—Q.: Barron Falls (Mr. A. Koebele). 



The granules, especially on the elytra, show up very distinctly 

 despite the density of the clothing. 



Genus Imalithus, Pascoe. 



Journ. Linn. Soc. 1869, p. 465. 



Head rather large, slightly convex, entirely concealed from 

 above. Eyes rather small, ovate, lateral, coarsely faceted. 

 Rost7'utn rather short and wide, almost straight. Antennce rather 

 stout; scape inserted nearer base than apex of rostrum and much 

 shorter than funicle; club ovate. Prothorax transverse and 

 semicircular. Scutelhnn small. Elytra closely applied to and their 

 outline continuous with that of prothorax. Pectoral canal deep 

 and wide, terminated between anterior coxse. Mesosternal 

 receptacle large, sides incurved near base, base truncate, emargina- 

 tion vvidely transverse; cavernous. Metasternuni longer than the 

 following segment; episterna distinct. Abdomen with straight 

 sutures; 1st segment as long as 2nd and 3rd comVjined, intercoxal 

 process rather wide; 3rd and 4th with deep and wide sutures, 

 their combined length equal to that of 2nd and slightly more 

 than that of 5th. Legs short; femora stout and wide, posterior 

 not extending to apex of abdomen, grooved and edentate; tibise 

 compressed; tarsi rather short but thin, 3rd joint not very wide. 

 Oblong-elliptic, greatly depressed, squamose, winged. 



A remarkable genus, the true position of which is very doubtful. 

 Mr. Pascoe regarded it as allied to Acalles, but the metasternum 

 is decidedly elongate, its episterna distinct and rather wide, and 

 the body winged. I ma}'' be wrong in placing it with the true
