Rostrum the length of prothorax, grooved throughout. Scape 
inserted slightly nearer apex than base of rostrum, first joint of 
funicle large, thick, the length of second-third combined. 
Prothorax transverse, sides rounded, base but little wider than 
apex; densely and strongly punctate. Hlytra wider than 
prothorax, feebly dilating posteriorly, shoulders somewhat 
rounded ; striate-punctate, punctures large, sub-quadrate and 
wider than interstices at base, towards apex much feebler and 
much narrower than interstices. Prosternum scarcely visibly 
emarginate ; metasternum strongly punctate, a very distinct de- 
depression in its middle and which is continued on to abdomen. 
Length, 15 mm.; rostrum, + mm. 
Hab.—Swan River. 
The punctures almost disappear at the apex of elytra, the 
strie there being very distinct. 
MISOPHRICE FENESTRATA, 1. sp. 
Colour much as in the preceding, except that the dark parts 
are black and the elytra are more testaceous than red. Moderately 
clothed with dull white (in an occasional specimen feebly tinged 
with green) scales and forming feeble lines on elytra; under- 
surface (except at sides) very sparsely clothed, the scales having 
a feeble greenish or coppery lustre. 
Rostrum slightly longer than prothorax, grooved behind and 
slightly in front of antenne. Scape nearer base than apex of 
rostrum, the length of funicle ; first joint of the latter large and 
thick, slightly longer than the second-third combined. Prothoraa 
transverse, sides almost straight, base but little wider than apex. 
Elytra wider than prothorax, sides very feebly dilating 
posteriorly ; striate-punctate, punctures very large, quadrate, 
sub-approximate ; interstices convex, narrower than punctures, 
densely punctate. Prosternum scarcely visibly emarginate. 
Basal segments of abdomen feebly concave. Length, 14 mm. 
(vix) ; rostrum, } mm. 
Hab.—Swan River. 
Resembling the preceding to a certain extent, but with paler 
elytra, the punctures of which are much larger and more regular, 
insertion of scape different, &c.
