Leg 
seriate-punctate, towards the apex lightly striate. Prosternal 
channel distinct, apex deeply emarginate, coxz feebly separated. 
Abdomen with third and fourth segments feebly arcuate at 
sides. Legs long; tibie almost straight. Length, 34 mm.; 
rostrum, 1} mm, (female, 2 mm. ). 
Female. Differs in having the rostrum thinner, fully twice 
the length of prothorax, almost perfectly cylindrical, squamose 
at base only, only the lateral coste traceable, and even straighter 
than in the male; the scape is inserted distinctly nearer base 
than apex of rostrum, scarcely extends to eye, and terminates 
considerably before apex of rostrum; the elub is scarcely longer 
than in the male. 
Hab.—Swan River. 
The insertion of the scape in the female is much as in filirostris 
and a few others, but rather nearer the base. In most of the 
specimens under examination the outer ring of facets of the eyes 
are distinctly ochreous; this appearance is doubtless accidental, 
as in specimens of several other species a similar appearance is 
seen. 
STOREUS TESSELLATUS, 7. sp. 
Male. Elongate-e!liptic. Dull-red. Head densely clothed 
with whitish scales, not much denser between eyes than else- 
where ; rostrum less densely clothed to antenne, in front with 
sparse whitish sete. Upper-surface with pale-ochreous and 
whitish scales, the elytra with a number of dark subquadrate 
spots (four on the third interstice), the whole having a very dis- 
tinctly tesselated appearance. Under-surface with ochreous- 
white scales. 
Rostrum moderately stout, lightly curved, scarcely longer than 
prothorax ; with sharply raised costa, of which the median one is 
almost as strong as the others, but all more or less concealed by 
clothing ; apical portion densely and irregularly punctate. 
Antenne moderate; scape inserted one-third from apex of 
rostrum, about half passing, shorter than funicle and club com- 
bined; first joint of funicle equal to second-fourth, second 
slightly longer than third, seventh not transverse ; club briefly 
ovate, no longer than three preceding joints combined. Prothorar 
transverse, apex feebly but rather suddenly narrowed. Elytra 
elongate-cordate, shoulders rather strongly rounded; seriate- 
punctate, lightly striate throughout. Prosternal channel distinct, 
apex deeply emarginate. Abdomen with third and fourth 
segments somewhat angular at sides. Length, 2} mm.; rostrum, 
= mam. (female, 1 mm.). 
Female. Differs in having a longer and more noticeably 
curved rostrum, squamose only at base, the cost irregular and 
but feebly traceable, antenne thinner, scape inserted three-
