Sparse punctures, intermingled with minute ones; scarcely 
noticeably incurved between antenne and apex. Antenne 
slender; scape inserted slightly nearer apex than base, the length 
of funicle and first joint of club; first joint of funicle the length 
of second-fourth, seventh transverse; club ovate, moderately 
elongate, shorter than the four preceding joints. Prothorax 
moderately transverse, apex not suddenly narrowed, sides gently 
rounded ; densely punctate. lytra elongate- (almost oblong-) 
cordate, apex very feebly emaryinate; seriate-punctate, punctures 
rather large and subquadrate, lightly striate. Prosternal channel 
rather distinct, apex deeply emarginate, separation of coxz dis- 
tinct. Abdomen with third and fourth segments lightly arcuate 
throughout. Length, 22 mm.; rostrum, 1 mm. 
Hab.—Forest Reefs. 
As the club of the antennz is black, I have not hesitated to 
describe this species, although possessing but two females. 
STOREUS PAUPERCULUS, %. sp. 
Male.  Elliptic-ovate. Red, metasternum scarcely darker, 
club black. Head moderately clothed with whitish scales, 
becoming paler and suberect between eyes and on rostrum ; on 
the latter becoming sparser towards and terminating just before 
antennie, a few white sete towards apex. Clothed with greyish 
or pale-ochreous scales, having on the upper-surface a very feeble 
spotted appearance; the elytra in addition with lines of stout 
yellowish setze—not visible from the sides. 
flosirum the length of prothorax and scutellum combined, 
gently curved throughout ; acutely costate at sides, median costa 
not traceable; apex finely punctate. Antenne moderately 
slender; scape inserted about one-fourth from apex of rostrum, 
more than half passing, a little shorter than funicle and club 
combined ; first joint of funicle the length of second-fourth, 
second equal to third-fourth, seventh rather strongly transverse ; 
club ovate, shorter thari four preceding joints. Prothoraa 
scarcely transverse, apex not much narrower than base, ocular 
lobes feeble ; densely punctate. H/ytra oblong-cordate, shoulders 
feebly rounded; apex scarcely emarginate; seriate-punctate, 
punctures scarcely traceable. Prosternal channel distinct, apex 
deeply emarginate. Abdomen with third and fourth segments 
very feebly arcuate throughout. Length, 2 (vix) mm.; rostrum, 
= mm. 
Hab.—W.A.: Albany. 
The curvature of the third and fourth abdominal segments is 
less than in any other species with which I am acquainted. 
STOREUS NIGROFASCIATUS, 7. sp. 
Male. Ovate. Dull-red, rostrum and metasternum somewhat 
darker, prothorax brown. Head with rather dense white scales,
