201. SYARBIS PORGATUS n. sp. 



lieddish caslaneous. Head, scutellum, legs and under surface 

 with whitish or somewhat ochreous stout setse or scales; pro- 

 thorax with similar clothing hut mostly condensed into five feehle 

 lines; elytra also with similar clothing hut irregularly distrihuted. 



Head with concealed punctures; inter-ocular fovea small and 

 normally concealed. Rostrum ahout once and one third as long as 

 greatest width, with dense and coarse concealed punctures behind 

 antennre, hut small and exposed in front of same. First joint of 

 funicle slightly longer than second, second slightly longer than 

 wide, the others all distinctly transverse. ProUiorax with dense and 

 somewhat irregular, partially concealed punctures. Elytra with 

 rows of very large round punctures, becoming smaller posteriorly. 

 Legs stout; tibia? strongly denticulate. Length 4 1/2 — 5 1/2 mill.

On the elytra the clothing is fairly dense on the suture, on a 

 subtriangular space on the sides towards the base, and on parts of 

 the posterior declivity, but they have no clearly defined markings. 

 On one Sydney specimen the elytral clothing is- almost uniform 

 throughout. VVhenalive, specimens appear to be covered with a waxy 

 kind of ochreous meal, which with age somewhat obscures both 

 sculpture and clothing. The punctures of the prothorax. although 

 not of even size, are so closely packed that (except for their margi- 

 ning walls) they occupy practically the entire surface; on the elytra 

 (except posteriorly) they are at least twice, and in some places thrice 

 the width of the interstices. The specimens from New South Wales 

 have the head and prothorax darker than in the others, but the 

 difference is not very pronounced. 



The prothoracic clothing is somewhat as in semilineatus, but that 

 on the elytra is very different; the elytral punctures are also very 

 much larger than in that species; they are larger in fact than on any 

 other species (except the following one) known to me, although 

 before abrasion their size is not clearly defined. 



202. SYARBIS RREVIGORNIS n. sp. 



Reddish castaneous; head, prothorax and under siuface usually, 

 but not always, somewhat darker. With seta? or scales varying from
