liah. — Queensland: Cooktown, Endeavour River (('. 
French). 
On abrasion the punctures of the 23rothorax are seen ti^ 
be rather large, those on the elytra (although before abrasion 
apparently no larger than in other species) are almost as wide 
as the interstices separating them. 
Myllocerus elegans, n. sp. 
Dark reddish-brown : appendages reddish. Densely 
clothed with joale-green, golden-green or rosy glistening scales. 
In addition with fine setae, which on the elytra are formed 
into irregular rows, and scarcely rise above the general level. 
Length, 6 mm. 
liah. — N.W. Australia: Roebourne (C. French). 
In structure much like the preceding sj^ecies, but the 
eyes rather less prominent, the prothorax longer, more con- 
vex across middle, the sides more strongly rounded, and base 
not so strongly sinuous ; the antennae are stouter, and the 
first joint of the funicle is considerably longer than the sec- 
ond : the scales are greenish instead of dull, dead white, setae 
denser, finer, and longer : the punctures (as seen after abra- 
sion) are also larger and more irregular on the prothorax 
and smaller on the elytra. The setae on the upper surface are 
unusually thin. It agrees fairly well with the description of 
glanrinus, but cannot be that species, which Pascoe placed 
in his table amongst those having "prothorax much broader 
at the base," whilst in the present species the base and apex 
are of equal width : pudicu^ (from Nicol Bay, practically the 
same as Roebourne) is briefly compared with f/hiuri?iu>i, and 
placed beside it in tiie table, so that it also cannot be the 
present species. 
There are two specimens before me, one having the scales 
as described, the other having them almost entirely without 
gleam, and white, except that in places they are lightly tinged 
with green or gold ; on this specimen the elytral setae (al- 
though exactly as in the type) are much more distinct. The 
species, in fact, appears to be one in which the scales (as in 
ah'undan.^ ) are subject to alteration. 
Myllocerus rugicollis, n. sp. 
Reddish-brown, appendages jDaler. Densely clothed with 
pale, greyish scales, on the elytra very slightly (or not at all) 
variegated with small spots of pale brown. In addition with 
fairlv stout setae, but on the elytra these are very sparse and 
indistinct. 
F/t'fuI feebly convex, very narrowly impressed between 
eyes : these brieflv elliptic and rather large. Rostrum sub- 
quadrate, feebly concave. Scrobes distant. Antennae rather
