think that a new genus is required to receive the four species 
mentioned, together with a number described below, and some 
others with which I am acquainted, but do not describe through 
paucity of material; but until C. griseipila becomes better 
known, it seems advisable to refer them to Cyttalia. 
In these species I do not think that the scape can be said to 
pass the eye; it terminates below the eye, and either level with 
or just beyond a line drawn parallel with the prothorax from the 
extreme base of the eye, but if it were placed on the eye itself 
the termination of the scape would be at or just beyond its 
middle. 
The species here described have the following specific details 
in common:—Head densely punctate; between the eyes in 
female as wide as rostrum, in male (owing to the enlargement of 
the eyes) a little narrower. Rostrum stout, densely punctate. 
Prothorax distinctly transverse, densely punctate, its sete trans- 
versely decumbent, sides increasing in width to near base. 
Elytra wider than prothorax, parallel-sided, shuulders feebly 
rounded, striate-punctate. Femora thickened. 
The principal differences lie in the colour, length of rostrum, 
comparative length of the scape, and the elytral clothing and 
punctures. 
CYTTALIA IMPURA, 7. sp. 
Reddish- or testaceous-brown ; legs reddish, the femora tinged 
with piceous in male; scape red, funicle (basal joint excepted) 
and. club infuscate. Moderately densely and almost uniformly 
clothed with whitish setz.* 
Rostrum distinctly longer than prothorax. Scape the length 
of funicle and club vombined. Punctures in elytral strie 
moderately large and subquadrate ; interstices feebly convex and 
rather feebly punctate. Anterior femora as thick as posterior, 
edentate. Length (including rostrum), 24—23 mm. 
Hab.—W.A.: Mount Barker, Albany. 
A soberly coloured species. 
CYTTALIA PARVA, ”. sp. 
Testaceous-brown, elytra but little paler ; sterna and abdomen 
(the apical segments reddish) black, legs and antennz testaceous, 
club (basal joint excepted) blackish. Elytra moderately clothed 
with whitish sete, each of the interstices with a line of sete. 
Rostrum shorter than prothorax. Scape slightly longer than 
funicle. Punctures in elytra] striz moderately large, distinct 
* The clothing of the prothorax (except to a slight extent in its density) 
is uniform in all the species tabulated by me. On the under-surface it is 
always white and denser and finer than on the elytra.
