Bo itessöh H. Kolbe, of the Königliches Zoologisches Museum of Berlin, 
recently asked me to name some Australian weevils. Of most of the species single 
specimens were sent to me, and when such species were new, and not represented 
in my own collection, they were returned unnamed. When represented in my 
collection most of them were described, but from my own specimens, and the actual 
types are retained in my collection; the Museums own specimens being returned as 
co-types. In every instance at least one specimen of every species was returned. 
Following is a list of the named species, including descriptions of some new ones. 
Brachyderides. 
1. Prypnus canaliculatus, Gyll. 
A small species fairly common in Victoria and southern New South Wales. 
The prothorax usually has a moderately impressed median line, but this may be 
altogether absent. As in other species of the genus the male is narrower and usually 
smaller than the female. 
A specimen in the Berlin Museum is labelled (probably in error) as coming 
from Queensland. 
2. P. quinque-nodosus, Gyll. 
3. P. squalidus, Gyll. 
4. P. sgquamosus, Blackb. 
5. P. trituberculatus, Germ. 
6. Prostomus scutellaris. Fab. 
7. Evas crassirostris, Pasc. Hab. — Swan River, Adelaide. 
8. Evadodes lineatus, Pase. 
9. Prosayleus comosus, Germ. 
10. P. dispar, Germ. 
11. P. Hopei, Sch. 
12. Rhadinosomus Lacordairei, Pasc. 
Otiorrhynchides. 
13. Timareta granicollis, n. sp. 
Black, appendages more or less red. Densely clothed with variously coloured 
scales, and with fairly numerous semi-decumbent setae. 
Head with minute concealed punctures. Rostrum with sides very feebly in- 
curved to middle; inter-antennary space narrowed behind so that at the base it is 
only about half the width of its apex; with a rather feeble carina, normally concealed 
on its hind half. Antennae rather thin; scape rather lightly eurved; second joint of
