Curculionidae from various parts of Australia. 



By A. M. Lea, 



Liast year I undertook to iiame, as far as possible, the Curculionidae 

 fluni dilterent parts of E. and S. Australia that were imnamed in the 

 Natural History Museum of Hamburg. 



Most of the species sent were represented in my own collection, 

 and in draAviuo- \\\) tlie descriptions of new species use was made of my 

 own specimens as well as tliose belong-ing- to the Museum. Where but 

 a Single specimeu was sent by the IMuseum, that was not represented in 

 my own collection, and could not be identified as belonging to a described 

 species, it was returned unnamed and as probably new. These unique 

 specimens were not described, as, from an Australian entomologists point 

 of view, it is very undesirable that authentically named specimens should 

 not be locally referable to. 



Brachyderides. 



JEvas crässirostris, PASC. 



On perfect specimens of this species the prothorax appears to be 

 feebly striped. On abrasion the legs are seen to be of a rather bright 

 red. There are specimens in the Berlin Museum, from Adelaide, in the 

 Hamburg Museum, without locality, and in the collection of theEntomological 

 Society of Berlin, from Swan Eiver and Adelaide.
