192 Arthur M. Lea: 
Differs from description of umbrinus (the only species previously recorded 
from Queensland) in being larger and not uniformly coloured. The elytra are shorter 
and wider than in any other species known to me, except longirostris, but they 
appear to be wider even than those of that species, this being really due to the 
prothorax being deeidedly narrower, with its sides less rounded. 
The dark spots on the elytra (some of which are granules) are distributed in 
two very irregular bands, one at basal third and the other just beyond the middle. 
On the Queensland specimen the spots towards the base are eonjoined so as to form 
a fascia, which, however, does not extend to the suture; this specimen also has the 
tarsi slightly infuscated.

Black, elytra (except about base), rostrum (except at extreme base), antennae 
(except club) and legs (the femora somewhat infuscate in middle) red. Densely 
clothed with white or whitish and almost uniform scales. 
Rostrum rather thin, feebly curved, slightly longer than prothorax; parallel 
sided and with five fine earinae to insertion of antennae; in front of same slightly 
diminishing in width, with the median earina for a short distance and with a few 
punetures. Antennae inserted about one-third from apex of rostrum; scape almost 
as long as funiele; first joint of funiele moderately stout, distinctly longer than second. 
Prothorax about once and one half as wide as long, sides strongly rounded, base 
much wider than apex; with dense but normally concealed punetures. Elytra 
elongata — subcordate, about once and two — thirds the width of prothorax; with 
rows of rather large but normally almost concealed punctures. Under surface
