416 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Australian Curculionide 
spicuous, not approximate ; body beneath covered with silvery 
scales. . 
This and the other species of Prophesia are about the size 
and shape of Hypera variabilis; but this is the only one with 
raised interstices. The mesosternum is very slightly pro- 
duced. 
Aromagis horrens. 
A. oblonga, fusca, squamis erectis adspersa; rostro breviusculo 
basi excavato, versus apicem planato, utrinque tuberculis margi- 
nato. Long. 3 lin. 
Hab. Victoria. 
Oblong, dark brown, with stout erect scales, here and there 
in tufts seated on tubercles ; head with a tuft over each eye; 
rostrum rather short, excavated at the base, but becoming 
flattish towards the apex, each side with a row of erect 
tubercles; scrobe oblique, passing under the rostrum at a 
short distance from the base; antenne short, stout ; protho- 
rax convex, rugose, slightly channelled in the middle, each 
side with two tufts placed transversely ; elytra concave along 
the suture, bordered by an elevated line, on which are three 
tufts, the posterior considerably larger, slighter tufts and single 
scales at the sides; legs roughly tuberculate. 
Shorter than A. echinata, ditferimg in its rostrum and the 
obsolete punctuation of the elytra. Under a low power of the 
microscope the parts between the tubercles have a silvery 
tint. 
Iphisaxus cethiops. 
T, sat anguste ovatus, niger, obsolete squamosus ; prothorace granu- 
lis subnitidis sat sparse instructo; elytris regione suturali sub- 
planatis, punctisque seriatim impressis. Long. 4—6 lin. 
Hab. West Australia. 
Rather narrowly oblong, dull black; scales scarcely appa- 
rent ; head with five or six large granules on each side, and 
numerous minute ones between them; rostrum rugosely im- 
pressed in front; antenne slender, pitchy ; prothorax convex, 
rounded at the sides, granules scarcely glossy, not closely 
approximate ; elytra ovate, sutural region flattish, bounded 
externally by a slightly raised tubercular line, the tubercles 
larger posteriorly and accompanied by others at the sides, 
punctures in rows, shallow, especially on the sutural region ; 
body beneath with scattered greyish scales, and punctured, 
each puncture bearing an elongate scale; legs with setiform 
scales.
