205. Haplonyx longipilosus, Lea. 
The type of this species is a male, and its funiele was wrongly described as 
six-jointed, owing to the seventh joint being elosely applied to the elub and somewhat 
dirty. There are now several specimens of both sexes before me from Australia 
(Berlin Museum), K. G. Sound, Swan River and Port Lincoln (Belgian Museum), 
Mount Barker (R. Helms), and Bridgetown and Pinjarrah (A. M. Lea). The 
female differs from the male in having the rostrum considerably longer than head 
and prothorax combined (on a specimen measuring 5 mm the rostrum is 3'/, mm), 
and with the scape not extending to apex of rostrum, instead of distinetly passing 
it. In the elytral striae there are frequently isolated stout white scales, but these 
appear to be very deciduous.

211. Melanterius leptorrhynchus, n. sp. 
Black, in parts diluted with red. Under surface and legs with whitish setae, 
a single seta in each prothoraeie puncture. 
Head with small dense and regular punctures. Separation of eyes about half 
the width of rostrum. Rostrum long, thin and lightly curved, extending almost to 
hind coxae; with dense and rather small punctures on basal half, smaller and sparser 
elsewhere. Antennae thin, inserted slightly nearer apex than base of rostrum; first 
joint of funiele almost as long as second and third combined, second distinctly longer 
than third. Prothorax with dense, elearly defined punctures, becoming smaller 
towards apex, and nowhere confluent; without median line. Elytra considerably 
wider than prothorax; with regular rows of large and ather distant punctures or 
foveae; interstices regularly and acutely carinated (somewhat obtusely towards base), 
and each with a row of distinet punetures on each side Under surface with 
dense punctures, larger on metasternum than elsewhere, but forming a single row 
on each of its side pieces. F/emora moderately but the hind pair very strongly 
dentate; each with a small granule or supplementary tooth in the emargination. 
Length 7'/,—8/, mm. 
Hab. — Australia (Berlin Museum); N. Territory: Port Darwin (N. Davies). 
Both specimens before me are probably females. One of them has the rostrum, 
antennae and parts of the legs rather feebly diluted with red; in the other the head, 
tip of prothorax, the elytra and the whole of the legs (except the coxae) are also 
diluted with red. In my table of species of the genus it should be placed next to 
bidentatus, from which it differs in the much longer rostrum, and in the conspicuous 
rows of punctures on the elytral interstices.
