 Type. /. 12042 in South Australian ]\Iuseum: cotype. C/2273 in Queensland 

 Museum. 



Structurally close to C. adelopifonnis, but derm of upper surface usually 

 entirely dark. The club of the antennse is usually infuscated, but is often no 

 darker than the other joints; on a few specimens the basal angles of the pro- 

 thorax are obscurely reddish, and on many parts of the prosternum and the tips 

 of the elytra are also obscurely reddish. There are about twenty lines of 

 pubescence on each elytron. 



CIRCOPES CASTANEUS sp.nov. 



Castaneous ; under surface, legs, and antenna? somewhat paler than upper 

 surface. Rather densely clothed with depressed pale pubescence. Length, 

 1-25-1-5 mm. 



Hah. — Northern Queensland (Blackburn's collection) ; Cairns district 

 (E. Allen, F. P. Dodd, H. Hacker, and A. M. Lea) ; Dunk Island (F. E. Wilson 

 from C. L. Barratt). — Type, 1.12043 in South Australian IMuseum; cotype, 

 C/2274 in Queensland Museum. 



Structurally very close to the preceding species, from which it differs in 

 being paler and much smaller ; it is also decidedly smaller and somewhat darker 

 than C. adelopiformis. The lines of pubescence on the elytra are as numerous 

 as on the preceding species, but the alternate ones are rather less even. 



CARPOPHILUS SUTURALIS sp.nov. 



Blackish bro\\-n ; muzzle, sides of prothorax, scutellum, shoulders, sides, 

 suture, and tips of elytra, under surface, legs, antenna?, and palpi more or less 

 castaneous. jModerately clothed with depressed ashen pubescence. 



Head with dense and sharply defined but i-ather small punctures; a 

 small depression on each side in front. Antenna? short, club almost circular. 

 Prothorax about once and one-half as wide as long, sides finely margined, parallel 

 on basal half, evenly rounded in front, apex gently incurved to middle ; punc- 

 tures in middle of apex much as on head, somewhat larger elsewhere. Scutellum 

 semicircular ; with distinct punctures, except at tip. Elytra at base slightly wider 

 than median length, sides almost parallel, tips obliquely narrowed to suture; 

 punctures at base more crowded than on base of prothorax, but no larger, 

 becoming smaller and sparser posteriorly. Dorsal portion of abdomen subtri- 

 angular, and with dense, sharply defined punctures on the two exposed segments. 

 Length, 3-3-75 mm.
