   The 
  tubercles 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  in 
  this 
  insect 
  are 
  subject 
  to 
  some 
  

   little 
  variation 
  ; 
  the 
  second 
  interstice 
  has 
  short 
  crests, 
  one 
  behmd. 
  

   the 
  other, 
  the 
  first 
  a 
  little 
  removed 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  and 
  the 
  last 
  is 
  

   remote 
  from 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  ; 
  they 
  appear 
  to 
  he 
  composed 
  

   of 
  an 
  aggregation 
  of 
  small 
  tubercles 
  having 
  the 
  summits 
  many- 
  

   pointed 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  third 
  interstice 
  is 
  a 
  single 
  small 
  tubercle 
  in 
  the 
  

   middle 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  fourth 
  are 
  three 
  small 
  tubercles 
  close 
  together 
  

   near 
  the 
  middle, 
  then 
  two 
  other 
  isolated 
  tubercles^ 
  behind 
  these, 
  

   and 
  a 
  subapiral 
  group 
  of 
  three 
  or 
  four 
  small 
  tubercles 
  close 
  

   together 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  sixth 
  interstice 
  is 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  small 
  tubercles, 
  of 
  

   which 
  the 
  foremost, 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  is 
  long. 
  

  

  Genus 
  PoROPTERUS, 
  Schiinherr 
  (CRYPTORiiYNCHiDiE). 
  

   Amongst 
  the 
  numerous 
  undescribed 
  species 
  of 
  Cryptorhynchides 
  

   from 
  New 
  Holland, 
  I 
  possess 
  several 
  species 
  remarkable 
  for 
  their 
  

   general 
  form, 
  and 
  for 
  having 
  the 
  thorax 
  and 
  elytra 
  studded 
  with 
  

   tubercles; 
  and 
  amongst 
  these 
  are 
  some 
  which 
  1 
  think 
  should 
  be 
  

   associated 
  with 
  the 
  described 
  species 
  of 
  Poropterus, 
  but 
  which, 
  

   instead 
  of 
  having 
  the 
  produced 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  thorax, 
  above 
  the 
  

   head, 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  extremity, 
  have 
  that 
  part 
  terminating 
  in 
  two
