Notes on Australian Cureulionidae in the Berlin Museum, 193 
with dense but normally concealed punetures; two basal segments of abdomen with 
a large shallow median depression, common to both. Length 3 mm. 
Hab. — Australia (Berlin Museum); W. Australia: Beverley, Swan River 
(A. M. Lea). 
In Blackburn’s table of the Erirhinides this species would certainly be placed 
in Dicomada, and it agrees with Pascoe’s diagnosis of that genus, except in the 
comparative widths of prothorax and elytra. From the only species (litigiosa and 
rufa) known to me it is readily distinguished by its comparatively small prothorax; 
the claw joint is longer than in Zifigiosa«. In some respects it agrees with the dia- 
gnosis of Paryzeta, but the scape does not attain the eye. 
The Museum specimen is probably a female, it differs from my own specimens 
(both probably males) in having the rostrum without carinae, but with distinet punctures; 
in the males these being (except towards the apex) more or less concealed by the clothing. 
Amalactides. 
170. Tranes internatus, Pasc. 
171. T. xanthorrhoeae, Lea. 
Belides. 
172. Belus phoenicopterus, Germ. 
A specimen from Adelaide differs from the typical form in having the elytra 
with very distinet spots close to the suture, and the nitid spot on the side pieces of 
the metasternum very small and round. 
173. Belus filiformis, Germ. 
The male (I have a pair which were taken in cop) of this species differs from 
the female in being smaller, slightly narrower, with considerably thinner femora and 
shorter rostrum, the base of which has coarser punctures. In both sexes the femora 
are edentate. In three specimens (all females) the elothing of the legs (and to a 
certain extent of the rest of the body) is looser and longer than in six other specimens 
(four males and two females) but I can find no other characters to warrant their 
separation. 
A specimen is in the Berlin Museum from Adelaide, but the species is fairly 
common both in South Australia and N. S. Wales.
