longer, it is also less convex, larger, with the lateral whitish 

 markings different : in insularis the seventh elytral interstice is 

 clothed with white scales from the base almost to the apex ; in 

 the present species the white stripe is often partly on the sixth 

 a/nd fifth, and even on the eighth. 



182. Gonipieriis extuatiis, Flus. 



183. Ateliciis at}-ophii$, P;isc. 



Kepshawcis, n. ^'. 



Head rather long. Eyes briefly oval. Rostrum short and 

 cm'ved ; scrobes curved in front, behind antennae suddenly 

 directed obliquely downwards, and meeting on lower surface at 

 junction of head and rostrum. Antennae rather stout, scape 

 much shorter than funicle. Prothorax subcylindrical. Scutellum 

 small and rounded. Elytra subcylindrical. Metasternum long. 

 Abdomen long, first segment longer than second, all sutures dis- 

 tinct. Legs short ; front coxae touching ; femora stout and 

 curved ; tibiae veiy short, curved, denticulate below ; tarsi wide, 

 third joint subcordate. claw joint scarcely projecting beyond 

 lobes of third ; claws feeble and close together. Winged. 



The third joint of the tarsi is pad-like as in Strong\'loi-rhinus, 

 but the claw joint scarcely projects beyond it, and the claws 

 hang closely together instead of diverging widely as in that 

 genus. The shape of the scrobes will readily distinguish the 

 genus from all other Australian genera of the Diabathrariides, 

 to which subfamily it evidently belongs. 



184. Kershawcis ly/iiidncus, n. sp. 



Densely clothed with brownish scales, in places iiaving a faint 

 coppery gloss, and variegated in places with p;.lei- and darker 

 scales ; with stout pale setae in punctures. 



Head with dense, small, concealed punctures, and with some 

 scattered larger ones, slighrl}' traceable before abrasion. Ros- 

 trum about as long as head, with a deep median groove; 

 punctures as on head. Scape rather suddenly curved and in 

 flated at apex; first joint of funicle stouter than, but subequal 

 in length with second, third feebly transverse, fourth -seventh 

 more — noticeably so ; club the length of five preceding joints.
