moderately long and subequal in length, 3rd and 4th each 

 slightly longer than wide, oth-7th globular; club almost the 

 length of five preceding joints. Prothorax rather strongly 

 transverse, sides strongly rounded, base bisinuate and almost 

 twice the width of apex, which is but feebly produced; with 

 dense, round, partially concealed punctures. Scutellum distinct, 

 in the centre of a depression. Elytra slightly wider than pro- 

 thorax and scarcely twice and one-half wider; with series of 

 rather large and partially concealed punctures; interstices not 

 much wider than punctures, not alternately raised, with small 

 and shining but frequently concealed granules. Under surface 

 with distinct but not very dense punctures. Metasternum 

 slightly shorter than the following segment; its episterna rather 

 wide and each with a single series of punctures. Abdomen with 

 straight sutures; 1st segment almost the length of 2nd and 3rd 

 combined, intercoxal process narrow, 2nd the length of 5th and 

 just perceptibly longer than 3rd or 4th. Legs not very long; 

 femora grooved, strongly acutely and equally bidentate, posterior 

 not extending to apical segment; tibiae strongly compressed and 

 falcate; tarsi not very wide, 4th joint thin, claws small. Length 

 5J, rostrum 1|; width 2| mm. 



Hah. — Q.: Cape York (Macleay Museum), 



Differs from the description of peccuarius (from Batchian) in 

 being smaller, the 1st joint of the funicle longer than the 3rd, and 

 the prothorax without four white spots across the middle and 

 one at apex.

I have to thank Messrs. Etheridge and Rainbow for calling 

 my attention to the fact that this name, although not appearing 

 in Scudder, had been previously used* for a genus of fossils. 

 As a substitute therefore for the genus of weevils, I propose the 

 name Derbyiella.
