480 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONIDjE, xii., 



Hab. — N.S.W. : Armidale, Glen Innes, Tenterfield. — Queens- 

 land : Rockhampton. 



A short, robust, and rather strongly tuberculate species. When 

 clothed, the punctures of the prothorax are entirely concealed. 

 In addition to the sooty scales of the upper surface, there is fre- 

 quently a narrow median prothoracic stripe of brown scales. The 

 front femora have two pale rings, but these are usually much 

 less distinct than those of the hind ones.

Genus Exithius Pascoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1870, p.207. 



Head partially or quite concealed from above. Eyes coarsely 

 faceted. Rostrum moderately long and rather wide. Antennae 

 rather stout ; scape inserted about middle of rostrum, much 

 shorter than funicle. Prothorax feebly or moderately transverse. 

 Scutellum small, but usually distinct, sometimes absent. Elytra 

 not much wider than, and about twice the length of prothorax; 

 shoulders rounded or produced. Mesosternal receptacle strongly 

 raised in front, the raised portion narrow, and connected with 

 the base by a carina. Metastemum very short; episterna trace- 

 able only at base and apex. Abdomen rather large, none of the 

 sutures deep, that between first and second segments distinct at 

 sides, but feeble and curved across middle. Legs rather stout; 

 femora grooved and dentate.* Ovate or elliptic-ovate, squamose, 

 fasciculate, tuberculate, apterous. 



This genus was proposed by Mr. Pascoe to receive his E. 

 capucinus (unfortunately a synonym of Cryptorhynchus cariosus); 



* Except in E. sculptiLis.
