Australian Phytophaga. 383 
brous, shining black; on the centre of the disc these 
interspaces are small, detached, and wart-like, but on the 
sides of the thorax they are much larger and irregularly 
confluent; elytra oblong, much broader at the base than 
the thorax, shghtly narrowed towards their apex ; surface 
covered with large, irregular, deeply excavated fovee, 
whose surfaces are thickly clothed with short adpressed 
griseous pubescence; these fovesw, which are arranged 
in about ten longitudinal rows on each elytron, cover 
nearly the whole disc, the spaces between the fovew 
being shining glabrous, coarsely wrinkled, and obscure 
rufo-piceous; pygidium rufo-piceous. 
The specimen from which I have made the above 
description is (judging from the shorter antennz and 
from the very slight enlargement of the hinder femora) 
a 2; the ¢ probably differs in colour from the 2, in 
the same way as in VU. Banksie ; in that species, the ¢ is 
obscure fulvous, whilst the 9 is lead-coloured. 
Fam. CRYPTOCEPHALIDAL. 
Genus Exapnopgs, Suffr. 
Hlaphodes albo-hirsutus. 
Anguste oblongus, obscure cupreus, pube albido adpresso 
vestitus, antennarum dimidio basali, labro pedibusque 
(femoribus anterioribus dorso, posticisque totis exceptis) 
fulvis, tarsis antennarumque dimidio apicali piceis ; tho- 
race subremote punctato; elytris tenuissime granulosis, 
minute transversim rugulosis, tenuiter et subremote 
punctatis, punctis ad latera seriatim dispositis.

Hab.—Western Australia, Champion Bay. 
Head thickly clothed with long white hairs; front 
impressed with a longitudinal groove ; mouth fulvous, 
apex of jaws black; antennz rather longer than the head 
and thorax, the six outer joints moderately dilated, black ; 
thorax twice as broad as long at the base, sides nearly 
parallel behind the middle, rounded and converging in 
front; apex of the basal lobe entire, its surface very 
slightly reflexed ; scutellum broadly oblong-ovate ; elytra 
not broader than the thorax, rather more than twice its 
length, their sides parallel ; the humeral callus moderately 
prominent.
