654 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID.E, 



series of large punctures l)ecoming much smaller posteriori}-; 

 interstices wider than punctures, separately convex, the 3rd rather 

 strongly raised and granulate at base, suture feebly transversely 

 granulate. Under surface minutely punctate. Femora feebly 

 dentate; intermediate tibiai distinctly angular at the outer base. 

 Length 9, rostrum 2i; width 4 mm. 



Hab.—Q. : Brisbane (type in Mr. A. Simson's Coll.). 



The white markings on the prothorax are all connected and 

 consist of a stripe on each side and which are divided at base and 

 again at apex, joined together across apical third and with a stripe 

 on apical half crossing it ; on each of the elytra there is a 

 semicircle extending from the base to basal fourth, a zigzag 

 oblique stripe extending from near base to suture at apical third, 

 where from the 3rd and 4th interstices it sends out an irregular 

 stripe that extends quite to the apex with a short inner projec- 

 tion. 



Perissops ixtricatior, n.sp. 



Elliptic, subcylindrical and subopaque. Blackish-brown, 

 antennae scarcely paler. Clothed with white scales forming- 

 patterns, the interspaces with sparse, minute and darker scales. 

 Under surface, legs, head and sides of base of rostrum with white 

 scales. 



Head and antenna? as in the preceding. Rostrum considerably 

 shorter and stouter but with similar punctures. Prothorax rather 

 strongly transverse; densely and minutely punctate, and with 

 large, round, dense, clearly cut punctures. Elytra at extreme 

 base no wider than prothorax, but wider a short distance below, 

 thence parallel-sided to near apex; with series of large punctures, 

 on basal half wider than interstices but becoming very indistinct 

 posteriorly; interstices separately- convex, the alternate ones very 

 feebly raised, the suture and four interstices on each side on basal 

 half with feeble granules, 3rd and 4th subtuberculate at base. 

 Under surface with small but very distinct punctures. Femora 

 acutely dentate ; intermediate tibia? distinctly angular at the 

 outer base. Length 6 J, rostrum 14; width 3 mm.
