472 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULlONIDiE, Xli., 



Although, to my knowledge, I have not seen Acalles bisignatus, 

 I refer it to Tentegia without hesitation. 



Elytral interstices without granules tortipes. 



Elytra granulate. 



Hind femora distinctly and acutely dentate ingrata. 



Hind femora edentate or almost so. 



Abdomen with but one complete row of fovete on second 



segment ... anopla. 



Abdomen with two complete rows on second segment. 



Prothorax with four small spots of white scales. ... quadrisignata. 

 Prothorax without spots. 



Rostrum with longitudinal elevated ridges Sptnceri. 



Rostrum without elevated ridges . ... quadriseriata. 



Tentegia ingrata Faust, Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1892, p.182. 



Each puncture with a single short seta; prothorax with four 

 small patches (not always traceable) of smaller and whitish setae 

 transversely placed. 



Head with large, shallow, round punctures. Rostrum feebly 

 curved, stout; behind antennae with three moderately distinct 

 and slightly raised carinae; the interspaces with punctures some- 

 what similar to those on head, but irregular in size, and not in 

 four regular rows; in middle, slightly behind antennae, consider- 

 ably larger than elsewhere. Prothorax with dense, shallow and 

 clearly denned honeycomb-like punctures, the sides of which are 

 thickened so as to appear like small (and almost shining) irregular 

 spaces; with four shallow foveae across middle Elytra wider 

 than prothorax, and apparently wider than long;* with a rather 

 large and granulate tuberculiform process behind each shoulder; 

 with series of comparatively small and distant punctures, the 

 interstices irregularly and feebly raised (the alternate ones at 

 base more noticeably so) and transversely irregular, with small 

 shining granules. Under surface with large, shallow punctures, 

 much larger (and forming two transverse rows) on second abdo- 

 minal segment than elsewhere. Femora subserrate below, pos- 



* An oblique sutural line, from base to apex of elytra, measures 7| mm., 

 or exactly the same as the greatest width, but, at the sides, the extreme 

 length is but 6| mm.
