190 Arthur M. Lea: 
On all eighteen specimens, however, the elytral interstices are each clothed 
with a more or less distinet row of stout yellowish or somewhat golden depressed 
setae; and they all have the shoulders very slightly produced. 
The species is a widely distributed, one as there are specimens before me from 
Queensland (Brisbane and Stradbrooke Island), N. S. Wales (Galston, Sydney, Albury 
and Jenolan), Vietoria (Bright), S. Australia (Adelaide und Fulham) and Tasmania 
(Jordan River).

Black, in parts reddish. Very densely clothed with scales, and in addition with 
stout setae. 
Head flat. Eyes almost entirely invisible from above and very flat. Rostrum 
almost flat, continuous with head. Prothorax almost as long as wide, sides feebly 
rounded; with large, round, partially concealed punctures. Elytra about once and 
two thirds the width of prothorax, parallel-sided to near apex; third fifth and seventh 
interstices distinctly raised: third with a small tubercle at summit of posterior declivity; 
fifth with a small one at summit and another nearer apex; with traces of a few 
very feeble tubercles elsewhere; with rows of large, round but more or less concea- 
led punetures. Under surface with large but more or less concealed punctures. 
Under surface with large but more or less concealed punctures. Length 
(exeluding rostrum) 4'/),—5'/, mm.

From apex of rostrum to base of head the sides are almost perfectly parallel, 
the eyes making no difference, whatever, to the outlines; that is, when the autennae 
are at rest; but when they are drawn ont there is a slight but distinet subtriangular 
noteh at the pit of each scerobe. From the sides the eyes appear to be perfectly 
flat; but they really cut into the lower surface of the head to a slight extent. In 
assimilis there is a very distinet dilatation at the eyes, although from above the 
eyes themselves are almost invisible.
