Rostrum with two grooves on each side above serobes, and all of 

 which are continued to between antennae, and leave three carinas, 

 the middle one of these is shining; apical half shining, and very 

 finely punctate. Scape thickened at apex, the length of funicle; 

 funicle with the second joint distinctly longer than the first. Pro- 

 thorax distinctly transverse, feebly convex, sides almost equally 

 rounded, apex not much narrower than base ; sides with a few, the 

 disc without punctures. Elytra ovate, not much wider than pro- 

 thorax, widest near base; basal half with transverse rows of 

 large punctures, all (except a few of the basal and apical rows, 

 that are smaller), being of equal size and at equal distances; a 

 shining granule on each side of the scutellar region. Posterior 

 femora extending almost to apex of abdomen. Length, 7 mm. 



Hab. — New South Wales: Richmond River. — Queensland: 

 Mount Tambourine. 



The claws are long and very sharp. The punctures of the elytra 

 are reminiscent of those of many of the Cleridae. 



Pachyporopterus, n.g. 



Head rather large. Eyes finely faceted. Rostrum moderately 

 long and curved. Antenna? rather thin ; scape inserted nearer apex 

 than base of rostrum, the length of funicle ; two basal joints of the 

 latter elongate; club ovate, subcontinuous with funicle. Pro- 

 thorax transversely subglobular. Scutellum absent. Elytra ovate, 

 shoulders rounded. Mesosternal receptacle feebly raised, walls 

 almost equal throughout, emargination almost V-shaped, caver- 

 nous. Metasternum short, episterna distinct throughout. Abdo- 

 men large, sutures distinct. Legs moderately long; femora not 

 very stout, neither grooved nor dentate. Elliptic-ovate, convex, 

 squamose, fasciculate, apterous. 



This genus is proposed for the Poropterus satyrus of Paseoe. 

 It is distinguished from Poropterus by the distinct, although nar- 

 row, metasternal episterna; from Platyporopterus to which it is 

 closer, by the episterna, distinct abdominal sutures, and by the 

 femora.
