50 Mr. Arthur M. Lea's Bevision of the 



Prothorax five-m-eolate. 

 Clicns, Black b. Apparently close to client ulus. 



Prothorax seven- areolate. 



A. Elytral punctures in single series. 



Miniaticollis, Macl, A species with very unusual colours, 

 its rostrum is short. 



Paradoxus, Blackb. Apparently close to caticcllatios. 



B. Elytral punctures in dmible series. 



Brevirostris, Wat. Coloured as rhipidius, but with the 

 rostrum intermediate in length between that species and 

 rufipennis. It would be dangerous to identify any species 

 as brevirostris (except from N.W. Australia) without further 

 information than that contained in the descriptions.* 



Scalaris, Wat. Apparently very close to haemorrhoid- 

 alis ; the description in 111. Typ. Col. is the best. 



Centralis, Macl. The rostrum in this species is very short. 



Fo/iatus, Macl., and hirtipes, Macl. Two species having 

 very peculiar prothoracic margins ; they should be very 

 distinct — in foliatus the rostrum is long, in hirtipes it is of 

 medium length. 



Fumosns, Macl. Apparently like a small dingy specimen 

 of Trichalus ater. 



Monticola, Blackb. Apparently coloured much as 

 eremita, hut smaller and with differently sculptured elytra; 

 seems close also to cocnosus but with a longer rostrum and 

 elytra somewhat differently coloured. It should perhaps 

 be regarded as belonging to the group having the elytral 

 punctures in single series. 



Occidentalis, Blackb. Evidently close to rhipidius, but 

 with part of the elytra black, although not as in disconiger. 



Mentitor, Blackb. Apparently close to ercmita and 

 ordinarius, but the former has the suture black and the 

 latter the rostrum long. The others t may be tabulated 

 as follows : — 



* The original one is short enough, but that in 111. T3'p. Col. is 

 still shorter. 



t Opacus and tibialis were described after the table was drawn up, 

 but in it opacus would have been placed next to atratus, and tibialis 

 would have been given a distinct section next to C.
