166 Arlhar M. Lea : 



Three specimens nf this species were taken on the island. 

 They differ from Tasmanian examples in havinu the ])unctures 

 of both prothorax and elytra larner and less numerous.

158. A'otosa/piiii^i/s variipeiuiis^ n. sp. 



Of a more or less dark reddish brown, elytra and legs paler, 

 but the former usually darker alonp- suture and sides, and the 

 latter usually with the fenmra infuscated. Upper surface 

 alabrous. 



IJcdd large ; densely and rather coarsely punctured, feebly 

 produced in front. Eyes small. Antennae ver}' feebly dilated to 

 apex, extending to base of prothorax. Frothorax about as long 

 as wide; sides strongly narrowed to liase: ])ase a.bout two-thirds 

 the width of apex ; punctures much as on head, but leaving a 

 feeble median line. Scufelhun minute, strongly transverse. 

 Elytra parallel sided to near apex : no Avider than widest part 

 of prothorax, with series of rather large punctures in feeble 

 striae, both punctures and striae becoming smaller posteriorly. 

 Ixy^ short, femora stout, tarsi very thin. Length, 1^ — 1| mm. 



Also from Tasnnmia. (Hol)art). 



As the terminal joint of the tarsi is as long as the rest com- 

 bined, and the antennae are non-clavate (at any rate the 

 antennae are almost exactly as in nrnatus) and most nf tlie 

 other characters agree with Xotosaljiingus I have referred the 

 species to that genus despite the much shorter rostral prolongation 

 of the head. From ornatus it differs in being glabrous, >maller 

 iind differently coloured, the ]irothorax with more evenly rounded 

 sides, smoother surface and narrower hase ; the punctures are 

 also everywhere smaller, and nn the elytra more decidedly
