Hah. — Western Australia, 



The round prominent eye and the form of the pro- 

 thorax afford a very trenchent diagnosis of this species. 

 My specimen is probably somewhat worn, as the scales 

 are unsymmetrically scattered on the two sides ; except 

 under a powerful lens, it appears to be almost glabrous. 



32. Gatasarcus cicatricosus. 



Moderately ovate, black, with minute, more or less ap- 

 proximate, gray scales ; head rather narrow, moderately 

 convex in front, a small central carina only, followed below 

 by a narrow groove ; rostrum as long as the head, scarcely 

 narrower than the front between the eyes; prothorax 

 slightly transverse, the sides rounded, the base scarcely 

 broader than the apex, not tuberculate, nearly glabrous 

 and glossy above, the two transverse sulci nearly equi- 

 distant from each other and from the base and apex; 

 scutellum indistinct; elytra covered above with gray 

 or fawn-coloured scales, the side with a large oblong snowy 

 white patch, above which and between the post-humeral 

 and median spines is a large raised glabrous bifid scar-like 

 mark, punctures above very small, those at the sides 

 much larger, post-humeral spine black, long and slender, 

 the median and posterior elongate, glossy reddish-ferru- 

 ginous, the latter about a third longer ; body beneath, dark 

 brown; legs reddish, with whitish or silvery scales, more 

 or less dispersed ; antennas ])itchy, moderately scaly, 

 the second joint of the funicle two thirds as long as the 

 basal, club dark brown, pubescent.
