  I 
  have 
  another 
  Cryptorhynchus 
  in 
  my 
  collection, 
  which 
  was 
  sent 
  

   from 
  Moreton 
  Bay 
  wiih 
  the 
  above, 
  and 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  doubt 
  is 
  

   the 
  male 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  species. 
  It 
  differs 
  in 
  being 
  smaller, 
  much 
  

   narrower, 
  and 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  rostrum 
  very 
  little 
  punc- 
  

   tured. 
  Its 
  length 
  is 
  5h 
  lines; 
  width 
  2h 
  lines. 
  In 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  

   the 
  elytra 
  this 
  insect 
  strongly 
  reminds 
  one 
  of 
  Leptops 
  qtcadritu- 
  

   berculatus 
  and 
  its 
  allies.
