Hab. Yule Is., L. M. D'Alberlis. 



This species has the narrower form of C. hmdulus, but its 

 well-marked black and white coloration is sufficiently distinctive. 



2G8. C. gronopoides, ii.sp. Pr.'vcedenti paulo latior, squamis fuscis griseisque 

 inaeulatim vostitus, aliis crassis ercctis adspcrsus; rostrum modico arcuatum, 

 squamis orectis instructum; antennae ferruginose , articulo primo funiculi se- 

 cundo crassiore et triplo longiore; prothorax in medio, apice excepto, pro- 

 funde sulcatus, utrinque tuberculis fasciculatis magnis griscis munitus; 

 elytra subcordata, profunde sulcato-punctata , interstitiis alte elevatis, in-

Hah. Yule Is., Somerset, L. M. D'Alberlis. 



A singularly rugose species , with the facies of Gronops lunata. 



Oculi rotundati, subfrontales , tenuiter granulati. Eostrum mediocre, 

 versus apicem dopressum; scrobes obliquae, lateralcs. Antenna^ ante me- 

 dium rostri insertae; clava distincta. Prothorax convexus, lobis ocularibus 

 nuUis. Scutellum elevatum. Elytra modice convexa, protliorace parum la- 

 tiora. Rima pectoralis pone coxas anticas tenninata. Abdomen segmento 

 secundo breviusculo. Femora incrassata, mutica; tibiaj compressse, inter- 

 mcdia3 extus cmarginatse; tai-si articulo ultimo setulosi; unguiculi liberi. 



I place this genus near Menios, but it has no ocular lobes, a 

 short second abdominal segment, mutic femora, and the inter- 

 mediate tibise with the lower half emarginate externally. In a 

 fresh specimen , as is the one here described , the striae on the 

 elytra are scarcely distinguishable, and the punctures not at all. 

 M."* Wallace's specimens from Batchian are much smaller , and 

 mottled with whitish , especially the sides of the prothorax.
