the Australian Curculionidae. 133 



lineatim striatis, interstitiis latis, postice magis convexis, singulis 

 in medio longitudinaliter fusco marmoratis vel maculatis ; pedibus 

 testaceo-ferrugineis, sat dense albido-squamosis. Long. 1| lin. 

 (rostr. incL). 



Hah. New South Wales. 



The coloration, as well as the smaller size, will differentiate 

 this species from T. ignara, Pasc. (Ent. Month. Mag. vi. p. 101). 

 Titinia is Lest separated from Idasjjora hj its rostrum having 

 no raised lines or costre bordering the scrobes on each side 

 and continued back nearly to the eyes, as in the latter. This 

 character, therefore, should be taken from the specific and 

 added to the generic formula. 



Polyphrades longipenyiis. 



P. elongato-obovatus, subnitide niger ; rostro nonnihil breviusculo, 

 quinqnecarinato ; antennis fuscis, sparse squamulosis, scape bre- 

 viusculo, apice valde incrassato ; prothorace modice transverso, 

 utrinque ampliato, crebre siibtiliter mamillato-granulato ; elytris 

 elongato-trigonatis, prothorace angustioribus, apice paulo divari- 

 catis, subtilissime parce squamulosis, lateribus modice rotundatis, - 

 sulcato-punctatis, iuterstitiis parum convexis ; corpore infra albo 

 squamuloso ; pedibus sublsevigatis. Long. 5 lin. 



Hob. South Australia. 



This species has the habit of Cherrns Mastersii] but the 

 short scape, which is also remarkably thick at the apex, shows 

 that it belongs to Polyphrades. The females in this genus 

 are more regularly ovate than the males, and the prothorax 

 much narrower ; but even in males of the same species this 

 last character is subject to variation. The scales appear to be 

 unusually deciduous. 



Cherrns aureolus. 



C. oblongus, fuscus, squamulis minntis albidis sejunctim vestitus ; 

 capite rostroque antice dense anreo-grisescenti, lateribus albo 

 squamulosis ; antennis setigeris ; funiculo articulo secundo quam 

 tertio vix longiore ; prothorace manifeste transverso, supra mo- 

 dice convexo, transversim corrugato ; elytris ovatis, prothorace 

 vix latioribus, dorso sulcato-punctatis, punctis oblongis, approxi- 

 matis, interstitiis sat latis, modice convexis, lateribus dense 

 fuscescenti-squamulosis ; corpore infra pedibusque dense aureo- 

 grisescenti squamulosis, his squamis majusculis interjectis; fe- 

 moribus fusco-variegatis. Long. 41 lin. 



Hah. King George's Sound. 



At once differentiated from its allies by the coniigated pro- 

 thorax. The scales at the sides and underneath have, under
