prothorax slightly mnroirer at base than at apex, and with 
distinctly rounded sides, the elytra without rows of decum- 
bent scales, although on each interstice there is a row of larger 
scales, but these are nowhere elevated above the others. From 
the description of forruhi>i it differs in the first joint of the 
funicle slightly longer than the second and tlie base of its 
prothorax not very strongly bisinuate. 
Myllocerus sordidus, n. sp. 
Blackish-brown, appendages in places obscurely diluted 
with red. Densely clothed with white or whitish scales ; on 
the upper surface largely mottled with rusty brown. In 
addition with numerous setae, which on the elytra have a ten- 
dency to form in irregular r ws, and are distinctly elevated 
above the general level. 
Head narrowly impressed between eyes : these suboval 
and not prominent. Rostrum not very short, feebly but regu- 
larly diminishing in width to apex, feebly concave. Scrobes 
rather distant. Antennae fairly stout ; apical half of scape 
feebly grooved beneath : first joint of funicle distinctly longer 
than second. Prothorajc moderately transverse, apex feebly 
incurved to middle, sides rounded : base rather strongly bi- 
sinuate and not at all or but slightly wider than apex. Elytra 
considerably wider tJian prothorax, very feebly increasing in 
width to beyond the middle ; striate-punctate. Femora eden- 
tate. Length, 5-6^ mm. 
Hah. — Western Australia: Geraldton (A. M. Lea). 
On abrasion the punctures of the prothorax are seen to 
be fairly large and rather numerous, with the minute inter- 
vening punctures'^ rather more distinct than usual. 
Myllocerus niveus, n. sp. 
Black, appendages reddish. Densely clothed with pure 
white scales. In addition with numerous stout setae, which 
on the elytra are formed into irregular rows and slightlv ele- 
vated above the general level. 
H ead narrowly impressed between eyes : these briefly 
elliptic and prominent. Rostrum not very short, diminishing 
in width from base but not to extreme apex, sfently concave 
in front. Scrobes rather distant, distinct to eyes. Antennae 
thin, all joints of funicle elongate, first slightly longer than 
second. Prothorax moderately transverse, sides rounded, ex- 
treme base slightly wider than apex, and srongl}^ bisinuate. 
Elytra much wider than prothorax, parallel -sided to near 
apex; striate-punctate. Femora finely dentate. Length, 
'o-l\ mm. 
* These minute punctures are evidently for the scales, the 
larger ones being for the setse ; they are to be seen on all the 
species on abrasion, both on the prothorax and elytra.
