414. Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Australian Curculionide. 
Ovate, closely covered with pale greyish, inclining to pearly, 
scales, and with scattered black, mostly recurved, sete, those 
on the legs white; rostrum comparatively long and slender, 
three raised lines anteriorly ; antenne slender; scape attain- 
ing the eye, the latter ovate, not pointed below ; prothorax 
scarcely longer than broad, rounded at the sides anteriorly, 
but parallel towards the base from a little before the middle ; 
above with numerous subapproximate tubercles; scutellum 
small ; elytra shortly ovate, not broader at the base than the 
prothorax, seriate-punctate ; interstices slightly raised ; punc- 
tures large, black, moderately approximate. “ 
This species has the outline of LZ. subfasctatus ; itis remark- 
able for its conspicuous black punctures. 
Leptops incompta. 
L. ovata, nigra, rude griseo-squamosa ; rostro antice fere obsolete 
tricarinato; scrobe pone rostrum eyanescente; prothorace ad 
latera subtuberculato ; elytris striato-punctatis. Long. 5 lin.

Ovate, black, roughly covered with greyish scales ; rostrum

pointed below; scape elongate; prothorax transverse, subtuber- 
culate at the sides and partially at the base; scutellum puncti-

like the Chilian Strangaliodes albosquamosus. 
Leptops vermicosa.
