Hob. Champion Bay. 



Somewhat like 0. crassirostris ; but with a longer rostrum, 

 much smaller eyes, elytra with the interstices broader and

Hob. Champion Bay. 



This prettily mottled species has a remarkably short rostrum ; 

 and the scape is also unusually short. The black marks on 

 the prothorax and elytra are due to the very slender bristle- 

 like scales imperfectly clothing those parts. 



Oxyopsfloreus. 



0. angustior, nitide fuscus, squamulis niveis, supra modice, intra 

 minus adspersus, elytris squamulis majoribus condensatis maculas 

 formantibus ; rostro latitudine paulo longiore, antice leviter gib- 

 boso ; antennis ferrugineis, squamulosis ; prothorace subtrans- 

 verso, subconico, utrinque rotundato, granulato-punctato, granulis 

 prominulis ; scutello angusto ; elytris modice convexis, rude 

 striato-punctatis, interstitiis angustis, grosse granulatis, maculis 

 numerosis niveis, singulis una pone medium majore, ornatis,

The white scales on the elytra are somewhat fasciculate in 

 their arrangement.
