652 RE-VISIOX OF THE AUSTRALIAN CUHCULIONID.E, 



Head \ery minutely punctate, with a feeble longitudinal im- 

 pression at base; ocular fovta very large, bounded on each side 

 by the eye itself. Rostrum wide, slightly shorter than prothorax, 

 moderately curved, sides incurved to middle; in ^ with distinct 

 punctures throughout but coarse only at sides of basal third, in 

 9 shining and finely punctate except at sides of base. Scape 

 inserted two-fifths from apex of rostrum and the length of funicle; 

 1st joint of funicle stouter but very little longer than 2nd, 2nd 

 the length of 3rd and 4th combined. Prothorax rather strongly 

 transverse; with dense partially concealed punctures. Elytra 

 subcylindrical, very little w^ider than prothorax; wdth series of 

 large punctures becoming much smaller posteriorly; interstices 

 wider than punctures and separately convex, the 3rd, 4th and 5th 

 subtuberculate and granulate at base Under surface with dense 

 partially concealed punctures. Femora with rather large acute 

 teeth. Length 7|, rostrum H; width 3 mm.

The ocular fovea is larger than in any other species of the sub- 

 family with which I am acquainted. To the naked eye the basal 

 half of the elytra appears to be clothed with dark scales in 

 patches, but this is almost entirely due to the scales there being 

 much sparser than elsewhere; on the prothorax three spots (from 

 the same cause) may be seen at the base. 



Perissops albonotatus, n.sp. 



(J (?) Elongate-ovate, strongly convex, polished. Black, antennae 

 almost black. Clothed with very distinct but small patches of 

 white scales, the interspaces very feebly and indistinctly clothed 

 with small white scales. 



Heady\\\.\\ sparse, indistinct but not concealed punctures; ocular 

 fovea ver}" narrow. Rostrum stout, the length of prothorax, 

 feebl}^ curved, sides incurved to middle; rather distinctly punctate 

 except between antenn?e. Scape inserted two-fifths from apex of 

 rostrum and shorter than funicle, two basal joints of funicle 

 rather long, 1st as long as 2nd and 3rd combined, 2nd as long as 

 3rd and 4th combined; club (for the genus) rather short. Pro-
