stices flat, moderately wide, transversely granulate. Propygidium 

 large, pygidium small, feebly carinate. Anterior legs moderately 

 long, femora edentate; tarsi naiTow, 3rd joint deeply but not very 

 widely bilobed, padded with silvery hair beneath, claw joint small, 

 moderately distinct. Length 2^, rostrum ^ (vix); width ^ mm. 



2- Differs in having the rostrum shining, much less densely 

 punctate and subcylindrical; club smaller; pubescence paler and 

 sparser. 



ffab. — Tamworth and Armidale, N.S.W. 



One of the few species in which the scutellum is not situated 

 at the base of a sutural depression; it is rather obscure and may 

 cause some trouble to identify, though evidently distinct from any 

 other known to me. From the preceding it differs in colour of 

 tarsi and antennae, markings on prothorax and elytra, slightly 

 longer claw joint, and has a more angular outline.

5. 'I Black; antennas (club piceous) and tarsi red. A few short 

 yellowish hairs about base and across apical third of elytra; 

 pygidium and sterna with sparse and very minute scales. 



Eyes large, not widely separated. Rostrum short, straight, 

 shining, cylindrical, finely punctate. Scape short, feebly curved; 

 1st joint of funicle large, the rest indistinctly jointed, club 

 scarcely as long as funicle. Prothorax convex, a short distinct 

 impression at apex, a feeble impression on each, side at base, and 

 a feeble impression almost at sides in middle. Scutellum small, 

 within a feeble depression. Elytra moderately long, interstices 

 rather narrow, convex, transversely granulate. Pygidium very 

 feebly carinate. Anterior femora edentate, claw joint small, 

 moderately distinct. Length 2i, rostrum 1; width 4 mm.

I have two specimens, both apparently females. The claw 

 joint, though small, is not so minute as in cri/pfottyx and a 

 number of other species.
