Hab. — Queensland. 



A well-marked species, whose connection with Leptops 

 is not at the first glance very obvious ; in regard, how- 

 ever, to the differences of the antennae and rostrum which 

 obtain in this genus, there is nothing to justify its separa- 

 tion. The interstices of the elytra are counted at the 

 base and fi'om the suture ; they are sometimes counted 

 from the first stria, but in that case, what are we to call 

 the space from the suture to the first stria ? Owing, 

 however, to the abbreviation of the second stria, there is 

 one less behind the middle. 



Baryopadus, n. g. 



Rostrum supra tricai'inatum, plaga apicali forma ferri 

 equini, margine suo elevate ; scrohes arcuatoe, infra oculos 

 exeuntes. Scapus breviusculus, oculuin hand attingens ; 

 funiculus attenuatus, articulis duobus basalibus longius- 

 culis, CEetcris brevioribus, obconicis; dava late ovata, 

 obsolete articulata. Ccetera ut in Lvptope, sed tarsi infra 

 ciliati, aut setulosi, articulis (ultimo excepto) latitudine 

 fere sequalibus. 



The characters of the tarsi, which are very exceptional, 

 I'ender this genus peculiarly easy of recognition ; the cilia 

 beneath are mixed with short hairs, and the penultimate 

 joint has narrow lobes, especially the posterior.
