The type of this species is a female. There are now before me a number of 
speeimens of both sexes from Queensland (Berlin Museum), N. S. Wales (Entomological 
Society of Berlin), and Clarence River, Ash Island and Illawarra (Macleay Museum). 
The male differs from the female in having the head thinner and almost twice 
as long; the rostrum thinner, longer and more noticeably inflated towards apex. 
The prothorax is longer; the elytra are more dilated across shoulders. All the legs 
are longer, but the front femora and tibiae are much longer (longer than in any 
other species known to me). The front femora are strongly arched and thin towards 
the base, and strongly inflated (although to a less extent than in falcata) towards 
the apex. The front tibiae are about as long as the femora and longer than the 
elytra, thin, strongly curved, and without the minute denticulations that many other 
species have. 
The elytra usually have a purplish gloss, but sometimes the gloss is greenish; 
or they may be almost black.

198. Elleschodes tenuirostris, n. sp. 
Of a rather deep chestnut-brown; under surface black. Upper surface with 
straw coloured stout setae irregularly distributed, the interspaces with much finer 
and sparser pubeseence; under surface and legs with whitish pubescence, denser on 
sides of meso- and metasternum than elsewhere. 
Rostrum thin; in male slightly longer than prothorax, in female distinetly 
longer; moderately eurved, with a narrow median carina from base to apex, and
