474 REVISION OP THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONIDiE, xii., 



callose below the shoulders, and the interstices " tuberculato- 

 rugulosis." It should be very distinct. 

 Hab. — Central Australia. 



Tentegia favosa Pasc; Mast. Cat., Sp.No.5479. 



This, the typical species, is unknown to workers outside of the 

 British Museum. It is one of the smallest species in the genus, 

 and is apparently allied to T. Spenceri, but differs in being 

 smaller, and by having " elytris .... interstitiis grosse tuber- 

 culatis, tuberculis setuligeris." 



Hab. — West Australia. 



Tentegia bisignata Pasc; I.e., No.5464. 

 Acalles bisignatus Pasc. 



This species is certainly congeneric with T. ingrata and T. 

 quadrisignata (neither of which has the rostral punctures or 

 fovese in four distinct rows) if not actually conspecific with one 

 of them. It was with considerable hesitation, therefore, that 

 the latter was described as new; but as Pascoe made no mention 

 of elytral clothing, and stated that the prothorax had but two 

 spots, I ventured to do so. Faust did not mention prothoracic 

 spots in T. ingrata, but these are less distinct than in T. quadri- 

 signata, and sometimes cannot be traced. 



Hab. — Queensland. 



Tentegia sana Faust, Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1892, p.181. 



This appears to be a small (5 mm.), densely setose species, the 

 prothorax with a waved median carina, and the elytra with 

 conical granules. 



Hab. — Queensland. 



Tentegia basalis Faust, I.e., p. 181. 



This species appears to be close to T. anopla and T. quadri- 

 seriata; from the former, it should be distinguished by the second 

 and fourth interstices supplied with granulate tubercles at the 

 base, and by its dentate femora; and from the latter, by having 

 a depressed median line on the prothorax instead of a waved 

 carina. 



Hab. — Queensland.
