Legs not very robust; posterior femora distinctly, intermediate 
slightly dentate, anterior edentate; tibie slightly arcuate. 
Length, 24 mm.; rostrum, # mm. 
Female. Differs in having a considerably longer (1} mm.) 
rostrum, with the lateral carine very feeble, feebly setose, and 
(except at extreme base) not at all squamose; the antenne are 
inserted almost in middle of rostrum, the scape does not pass the 
apex, and the sixth-seventh joints of the funicle are scarcely 
globular. 
Hab.—W.A.: Darling Ranges, Swan River, Pinjarrah, Mount 
Barker. 
A distinct but, as regards the clothing, somewhat variable 
species. I have taken specimens on KXingia australis, Banksia, 
and several species of Hucalyptus. The second and third joints 
of the funicle in the male appear each to be double. 
STOREUS CONTORTUS, 7. sp. 
Female (?). Moderately elongate. Brownish-red, sterna 
darker, upper-surface more or less mottled with black. Head 
uniformly clothed with pale flattened scales, becoming denser 
between eyes; basal two-thirds of rostrum with sparse setose 
scales. Prothorax at the sides and base with pale-brown, inter- 
mingled with a few whitish scales; scales on elytra in general 
like those on prothorax, but forming a short longitudinal stripe 
on each side of scutellum, spots almost forming a fascia beyond 
the middle and another nearer apex ; a distinct triangular black 
patch on each side, and which do not extend to the suture or 
sides. Under-surface and legs with whitish scales. 
Rostrum the length of prothorax and club combined, arcuate 
throughout ; with seven fine costz; apical portion punctate, and 
microscopically punctate. Antenne elongate, slender, inserted 
two-fifths from apex of rostrum; scape straight, scarcely 
thickened towards apex, fully half passing, slightly shorter than 
funicle and club combined ; first joint of funicle almost as long 
as second-third, second longer than third ; club elliptic-ovate, as 
long as three preceding joints. Prothorax scarcely transverse, 
sides rounded, feebly decreasing to base, and rather more (but 
not suddenly) to apex; densely punctate. /ytra with sides 
gently arcuate throughout; seriate-punctate, punctures almost 
concealed. Prosternum rather strongly grooved. Abdomen with 
third and fourth segments gently arcuate. JZegs moderately 
robust ; femora as in preceding ; tibie straight. Length, 24 mm.; 
rostrum, 1 mm. 
Hab.—Swan River.
