220 MEMOIES OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



narrowly impressed line (dilated in middle) across base, and a shallow depression 

 across apex; punctures as sharply defined as on head, and slightly larger. 

 Elytra much wider than prothorax, parallel-sided to near apex, each with fonr 

 discal costie; punctures crowded and usually sharply defined, but some 

 transversely confluent. Length, 6-7 mm. 



jjah. — Queensland: Brisbane (H. Hacker); Glen Lamington (Dr. E. 

 Mjoberg). — Type, C/2315 in Queensland ^Museum; cotypes, 1.12241 in South 

 Australian Museum, and in Stockholm Museum. 



Referred to Dolirnia on account of the eyes. The flavous parts of the 

 type are the head between the muzzle and eyes, base of six first joints of antenna?, 

 and under surfaca of the first two, palpi (except the tips), prothorax (both 

 surfaces), scutellum, basal half of elytra, and legs (except tips of middle and of 

 hind tibia?, and the middle and hind tarsi, which are infuscated). The specimen 

 in the South Australian Museum is like the type, except that the hind femora 

 are also infuscated; the other cotype has the legs (except the front coxa?) and 

 antenna? entirely dark, and with slightly less of the elytra pale. On all three 

 specimens the dark parts usually have a metallic gloss; only two of the discal 

 costa? are at all distinct on each elytron. 



Family CURCULIONID.E. 



EUOPS TUBERCULATUS sp. nov. 



$ Black, in most parts wath a slight purplish gloss. 



Head wdth sparse and irregularly distributed punctures. Eyes large, 

 almost touching in middle. Rostrum rather short, dilated and finely serrated 

 at apex, and narrowed to base. Antenna? short ; club stout, about the length of 

 six preceding joints combined. Prothorax about as long as basal width, narrowed 

 to apex, a distinct bisinuate punctate line near base, a shallow transverse impres- 

 sion on each side at ajjical third, a rather large but obtuse tubercle in front of 

 each; sides wdth distinct punctures, upper surface almost impunctate. Elytra 

 not much longer than wide, much wider than prothorax ; with somewhat irregular 

 rows of fairly large punctures; third interstice at basal third with an obtuse 

 tubercle, between it and base shallowly depressed, sixth interstice with a small 

 obtuse tubercle at summit of apical slope ; each shoulder with an acute conical 

 tubercle, projecting outwards. Ahdornen irregularly punctate and strigose, 

 four basal segments each with a short, hairy, double stripe across middle ; 

 pygidium wnth rather large punctures on most of its surface. Femora stout : 

 front tibia^ bisinuate on lower surface. Length, 3 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: National Park in December (H. Hacker). — Type 

 (unique), C/2316 in Queensland Museum. 



Readily distinguished from all other Australian species by the tuberculate 

 upper surface, with armed shoulders.
