Hah. Yule Is., L. M. D'Alherlis. 



A narrower species than tlie last, but the prothorax nearly 

 as broad as the elytra and the rostrum coarsely punctured throu-

Hah. Fly River, L. M. D'Alherlis. 



This species has a comparatively I}road prothorax, the apex, 

 owing to the deep depression , being apparently bilobed ; and 

 the granules on the elytra are, especially those near the su- 

 ture, elevated or ridged.
