There are a few irregular scales at apex of elytra, but 

 except for these the clothing on the upper surface is con- 

 densed into elongated spots, of which there are three on each 

 elytron, one on the ninth interstice before the middle, and 

 two on the third (one basal and one postmedian) ; on the 

 prothorax the scales are formed into slightly-arched lines 

 extending from base to apex, and appearing as continuations 

 of the basal markings on elytra. The scales appear to be 

 easily abraded, as on only one of the three specimens before 

 me are they present on the rostrum. On two of them the 

 scales of the upper surface are of a pale yellow, but on the 

 third they are almost of a snowy whiteness. The outline is 

 almost exactly as in the preceding species, but the punctures 

 are much more distinct owing to the very different clothing. 



Section 7 . 

 Barts ebentna, n. sp. 



Black, shining; scape piceous-red. Glabrous. 



Bead with very indistinct punctures. Rostrum mode- 

 rately thin, distinctly longer than prothorax ; with coarse 

 punctures at sides and rather fine ones elsewhere ; a feeble 

 transverse impression marking its junction with head, but 

 the impression narrowly foveate in middle. Scape inserted 

 about two-fifths from apex of rostrum. Protliorar with 

 small and rather sparse but clearly-defined punctures. Elytra 

 cordate, outline continuous with that of prothorax; striae very 

 narrow, but towards base with fairly numerous, round, 

 clearly-defined punctures encroaching on the interstices; 

 these each with a row of almost microscopic punctures. 

 Femora edentate. Length, 1\ mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Barron Falls (A. Koebele). 



In general appearance somewhat like glabra, but ros- 

 trum longer, prothoracic punctures sparser, and elytral punc- 

 tures and interstices and the prosternum different. 



Section 8. 

 Barts porosa, n. sp. 

 Black, opaque. Lower surface, legs, and rostrum with 

 minute indistinct scales or setae, elsewhere glabrous or almost 

 so. 



Head with dense but indistinct punctures. ]xo>itnim 

 stout, slightly shorter than prothorax, very coarsely punc- 

 tate except for a rather narrow shining line from between
