while to somewliat oclireous, and dense on head, scutellum, under 

 surlace and legs, forming three Hnes on pi'olhorax, and sparse(except 

 in parts) on elytra. 



Head with smaU shallow concealed punctures; inter ocular fovea 

 not very small, h,it normally quite concealed. Rostrum ahout once 

 and one third as long as greatest width; apical third with small and 

 usually exposed [)nnctiu"es, basal two thirds with much coai'ser 

 and concealed ones. Antennro very stout; all joints of huiicle, except 

 the first, distinctly [.vansxevse. Prothorax with comparatively sparse, 

 round punct'jres of uneven sizes. Elytra with rows of very large 

 roinid punctures, becoming smaller posteriorly. Legs very stout; 

 tibiae strongly denticulate. 



Length 5-5 1/4 mill. 



Hab. : Victoria : Warragul and Sea-Lake (J. C. Goudie). 



On each elytron about the middle there is an oblique stripe com- 

 mencing on the fifth or sixth interstice, and touching the side, along 

 which it runs to the apex, it then runs up along the suture to 

 near the middle and terminates; the shoulders are also densely 

 clothed, but the rest of the elytra is practically glabrous. 



Readily distinguished from the preceding species by the protho- 

 racic punctures, these being much less numerous, with spaces be- 

 tween many of them sufficient to allow room for others of the largest 

 size. The elytral punctures are much the size of those of the prece- 

 ding species, but appear to be larger, owing to being less concealed 

 by the clothing. In appearance it is also close to Go^idiei, h\it is 

 smaller, elytra with larger punctures and the pattern of their 

 clothing diiTerent.

Black or partly black ; appendages in parts paler or not. Densely 

 clothed with white scales, but becoming sparser and setose in cha- 

 racter on each side of middle from apex of prothorax to apex of 

 elytra. 



Head with normally concealed punctures; inter-ocular fovea 

 round and partially concealed. Pvostrum no longer than wide;
