478 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONIDjE, xii., 



Genus Tepalicus Lea, I.e., p. 1 07. 

 Tepalicus semicalvus Lea, I.e., p. 108. 

 Hab. — Queensland. 



Genus (Emethylus Pascoe, Trans. Ent Soc. Lond., 1870, 

 p.482. 



Head moderately large. Eyes finely faceted. Rostrum moder- 

 ately long and not very thin. Antennas rather thin. Prothorax 

 conical, apex produced, base bisinuate, constriction shallow. 

 ocular lobes prominent. Scutellum elongate. Elytra subcorneal, 

 base much wider than prothorax, shoulders angular. Mesosternal 

 receptacle moderately large, raised in front, cavernous. At eta- 

 sternum slightly shorter than the following segment; episterna 

 distinct but very narrow in middle. Abdomen not very large, 

 sutures distinct. Leys rather short; femora linear, grooved? 

 edentate. Angular, strongly convex, squamose, winged. 



Mr. Pascoe regarded this genus as being allied to Cryplorhyn- 

 chus, but it differs from C. Lapathi (the typical species of that 

 genus) in the decidedly cavernous mesosternal receptacle, in the 

 much narrower metasternal episterna, abdomen, etc. Both the 

 known species have the head depressed at the base, a character 

 common to many of the allies of Poropterus, and seldom seen in 

 other sections. 



Prothorax ridged, the ridges produced at apex triangularis. 



Prothorax bituberculate at apex lumbaris. 



(Emethylus lumbaris Pasc; Mast. Cat., Sp.No.5537. 

 A very distinct species, readily identifiable from the original 

 figure (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1870, P1.7, fig. 3). 



Hab. — Queensland : Wide Bay, Port Denison, Townsville.
