462 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONIDiE, xiL, 



Pachyporopterus satyrus Pasc.; Mast. Cat., Sp.No.5439. 



Poropterus satyrus Pasc. 

 ^ Black, antennas and apical joints of tarsi of a dingy red. 

 Densely clothed with small, pale, fawn-coloured, overlapping 

 scales, in places variegated with darker ones, those on the elytra 

 form feeble velvety patches ; with scattered longer scales, that form 

 four feeble fascicles on prothorax, and are seriately arranged on 

 elytra. 



Head with dense but comparatively small punctures; usually 

 with a feeble irregular median carina. Rostrum the length of pro- 

 thorax, moderately densely and regularly, but not very coarsely 

 punctate; with a very feeble median carina, or impunctate line. 

 Prothorax with strongly rounded sides; with small, normally con- 

 cealed punctures; across middle several very feeble tubercular 

 elevations. Elytra ovate, considerably wider than prothorax ; with 

 a feeble but distinct subhumeral projection ; seriate-punctate, punc- 

 tures normally concealed, comparatively small and distant, becom- 

 ing very small posteriorly ; generally with a few feeble granules in 

 scutellar region. Length, 12-18 mm. 



£. Differs in being larger and wider, rostrum with smaller and 

 sparser punctures, and without the median impunctate line. The 

 base of the elytra is also less distinctly trisinuate. 



Hab. — Tasmania; widely distributed, but rather rare. 

 The clothing has been described from a specimen in perfect con- 

 dition ; on many specimens it is of a dingy muddy-brown ; the vel- 

 vety patches on the elytra are frequently not traceable, and are 

 never constant in disposition. The prothoracic fascicles are often 

 abraded. On an occasional specimen the elytra are feebly fascicu- 

 late.
