STOREUS SETOSUS, 7. sp. 
Male. Elongate-elliptic. Red, metasternum and club black. 
Head moderately clothed with flat, pale, yellowish-white scales, 
more rounded than is usual; between the eyes the scales are 
-denser and suberect, and from there to the antennz they become 
narrower and sparser. Closely covered with white (in some 
specimens very pale-ochreous) glistening scales (in several speci- 
mens there is a trace of a feeble pale-ochreous fascia near the 
base of the elytra, but the scales are nearly always uniform in 
colour), with lines of very distinct, stout, white, almost erect 
sete, which are directed backwards on the elytra, and forwards 
on the prothorax. Under-surface with white scales, becoming 
setose along the middle. 
Rostrum slender, considerably longer than prothorax, feebly 
bent throughout; median costa unmarked; apical portion 
moderately strongly punctate. Antenne rather slender ; scape 
nserted two-fifths from apex of rostrum, scarcely one-third 
passing, slightly longer than funicle; first joint of funicle 
slightly longer than second-third, second distinctly longer than 
third, second-fourth feebly doubled, seventh feebly transverse ; 
club ovate. Prothorax as long as wide, apex slightly narrower 
than base, and not suddenly lessened. lytra elongate-cordate, 
apex conjointly rounded ; seriate-punctate. Prosternal channel 
distinct, anterior coxe rather widely separated. Abdomen with 
third and fourth segments rather strongly but scarcely angularly 
drawn backwards at sides. Legs rather long; claw joint of 
anterior tarsi exserted fully as far as the others. Length, 2 mm.; 
rostrum, 3? mm. (female, 14 mm.). 
Female. Differs in having the rostrum longer, thinner, 
squamose at base only, lateral coste very feebly defined; the 
antennz thinner, scape inserted almost in middle of rostrum, and 
not extending to apex, and the club elongate-ovate. The scales 
beneath are less setose along the middle than in the male. 
Hab.—W.A.: Geraldton. 
A very distinct species, slightly variable as regards the cloth- 
ing of the elytra. 
STOREUS CRYPTORHYNCHUS, 7. sp. 
Male. Elliptic-ovate. Brownish-red, sterna darker, club 
piceous. Head and base of rostrum with adpressed white scales, 
rather more condensed between the eyes than elsewhere. Upper- 
surface with dark-greyish scales,intermingled with long, almost 
erect set ; scales of metasternum and abdomen paler. 
Rostrum the length of prothorax and scutellum combined, 
moderately curved throughout; indistinctly costate; apical 
portion rather sparsely punctate. Antenne moderate; scape
