and the anterior claw joint less strongly exserted. All else as in 
preceding. 
Hab.—N.S8.W.: Galston. 
Very close to the preceding species, but I believe it to be 
distinct. 
STOREUS CONSUETUS, 2. sp. 
Male. Elliptic, moderately robust. Dull-red, metasternum 
somewhat darker. Head and basal portion cf rostrum with 
ochreous-white and moderately dense scales, denser between eyes 
than elsewhere. Upper-surface with ochreous and pale-ochreous 
scales, the elytra with a number of slightly darker subquadrate 
spots, the whole having a distinctly tesselated appearauce. 
Rostrum longer than prothorax and scutellum combined, 
straight to antenne, and then rather strongly bent downwards ; 
with sharply-raised coste (more or less concealed by clothing) 
continued, but feeble and irregular, beyond antenne. Antenne 
moderate ; scape inserted one fourth from apex of rostrum, about 
half passing, the length of funicle and two basal joints of club ; 
first joint of funicle almost the length of second-fourth, second 
distinctly longer than third, fourth transversely triangular, fifth- 
seventh strongly transverse ; club ovate, longer than three pre- 
ceding joints. Prothorax strongly transverse, sides rounded, 
apex rather suddenly narrowed ; densely punctate. EHlytra sub- 
oblong-cordate, apex scarcely emarginate ; striate-punctate, stric 
very feeble. Prosternal channel distinct, apex deeply emarginate. 
Abdomen with third and fourth segments gently arcuate 
throughout. Length, 22 mm.; rostrum, = mm. (fémale, 1 mm.). 
Female. Differs in having the rostrum longer and more 
strongly curved, less densely squamose, and the costze much 
feebler ; the antennz inserted almost in middle of rostrum, scape 
not passing apex, and almost the length of funicle and club com- 
kined ; club elliptic-ovate. 
Hab.—N.8.W.: Forest Reefs, Tamworth, Galston. 
It is possible that this species is Mr. Pascoe’s EH. limezgera, but 
if so the words “‘ capite inter oculos abrupte calioso” are certainly 
misleading. The tesselation of the elytra is much as in ¢essellatus, 
but is rather less pronounced. 
STOREUS INVIDIOSUS, 7. sp. 
Male. Elliptic-ovate. Dull-red, elytra stained with piceous 
along suture; prothorax and metasternum brownish. Head 
closely covered with ochreous-white scales, slightly denser and 
narrower, and feebly raised between eyes; rostrum rather 
sparsely squamose to antennez, from thence to apex the sides 
very feebly setose. Prothorax with ochreous scales rather 
sparsely distributed, each side of base with a short stripe of
