428 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID^, VIII., 



Under surface with sparse and small punctures except on sides^ 

 wliere, however, they are more or less concealed. Femora 

 acutely and very distinctly dentate. Length 8;^, rostrum 2J; 

 width 4i mm. 



Hab. — ^N. S.W.: Clarence River (Macleay Museum). 



The two white spots on the elytra, though small, are very 

 distinct; the femoral teeth are of considerable size. The outlines 

 of this and the following species are very different from those of 

 the two preceding. 



Nechyrus legitimus, n.sp. 



Black, antennae red. Densely clothed (not much sparser on 

 under than on upper surface) with brownish-fawn scales, becoming 

 sooty-brown on head and basal third of rostrum and very dense 

 on legs. Upper surface with distinct but not strongly elevated 

 sooty-brown fascicles, four on prothorax across middle (two very 

 indistinct ones on apex, and about ten on elytra; of these eight 

 are on the 3rd interstices but not confined to them. 



Head w^ith dense concealed punctures. Rostrum lightly curved 

 and moderately wide, the length of prothorax; punctures at basal 

 fourth concealed, elsewhere shining and with moderately large 

 but not crowded punctures. Scape inserted two-fifths from apex 

 of rostrum and almost the length of funicle; 1st joint of the 

 latter slightly longer than the 2nd, the two combined slightly 

 more than half its total length, 3rd-5th subglobular, 6th strongly, 

 7th very strongly transverse. Prothorax feebly transverse, base 

 bisinuate and twice the width of apex; with rather coarse but 

 almost concealed punctures; feebly tuberculate beneath fascicles 

 and with a scarcely traceable median carina. Elytra subcordate; 

 once and one-fourth the w^idth and not much more than twice 

 the length of prothorax, base trisinuate, shoulders rounded; with 

 series of large, round pl^nctures, not very close together and 

 becoming smaller posteriorly; interstices narrower than punctures, 

 and not separately convex, feebly tuberculate beneath fascicles. 

 Under siirface with dense, moderatel}^ large and partially con- 

 cealed punctures. Femora edentate, posterior passing elytra. 

 Length 6|, rostrum IJ; width 3J mm.
