Hah. — Western Australia. 



I have several specimens of this species, all with very 

 few scales, or to the eye perfectly glabrous ; such is pro- 

 bably, therefore, its normal condition. 



19. Catasarcus echidna.

 impressed parts; head and rostrum narrower than in C. 

 ])clIicosiis, the carina near the eye well-marked, the 

 intermediate broadly rounded ; prothorax short, mo- 

 derately transverse, obtusely tuberculate ; scutellum 

 small, triangular; elytra subseriate-punctate, many of 

 the punctures confluent, the spaces between them here 

 and there raised in a transverse direction, others slightly 

 tuberculate, post-humeral spine rather stout, black, the 

 median and posterior glossy reddish ferruginous, the 

 former prasmedian, the latter more than t^vice as long and 

 slightly recurved ; body beneath black, with grayish 

 scales ; legs pale reddish-brown, with a few minute scales
