stout; scape grooved on its lower surface at apex: first jomt 
of funicle slightly longer than second, the others all slightly 
transverse : club rather short. Prothord.r moderately trans- 
verse, apex slightly wider than base, sides rounded, base not 
very strongly bisinuate. EUjtm much wider than prothorax, 
widest at their middle ; striate-punctate. Fcinora distinctly 
dentate. TiCngth, 5-6| mm. 
Unit. — Queensland: Brisbane (R. lUidge, T. McGregor, 
and E. J. Turner). 
The prothorax has an elevated ridge across its middle, 
with a slight depression on each side behind it, the depres- 
sions being occasionally very distinct. On abrasion the punc- 
tures of both prothorax and elytra are seen to be almost ex- 
actly as in the preceding species, but the elytral interstices 
are narrower and more convex. 
Close to the description of in()(Je.'<tii.<^ but all the femora 
distinctly dentate, instead of the front femora only (at least 
it is so implied), prothorax no wider at base than at apex and 
sides quite strongly rounded : for that species also no mention 
is made of the transverse prothoracic impressions so conspicu- 
ous in the present species. 
There are two specimens before me from the Endeavour 
River, which I hesitate to regard as this species, although 
they have a strong general resemblance to it. They differ in 
having thinner antennae, none of the joints of the funicle 
transverse, and in having the femoral dentition stronger : the 
transverse impressions on the j^rothorax are also absent. 
MyLLOCERUS ECHINATUS, U. Sp. 
Dark reddish-brown, appendages (except club) somewhat 
paler. Very densely clothed with greyish or pale fawn- 
ooloured scales. In addition with numerous stout setse : long, 
erect, or suberect on the elytra, shorter on the jDrothorax and 
head, and still shorter on the appendages. 
Tl((id with the Qyes briefly ellijotic and rather large. Ros- 
trum moderately long and concave. Scrobes subapproximate. 
Antennae stout ; first joint of funicle slightly shorter than sec- 
ond. Frothorax as long as w^ide, sides scarcely rounded, and 
very feebly increasing in width to base, base strongly bi- 
sinuate. Elytra much wider than prothorax, parallel-sided 
to near apex : striate-punctate. Fcwoid edentate. Length, 
4-4i mm. 
Tiah. — North Queensland: (H. J. Carter), Cairns (E. 
Allen). 
The elytral setce or bristles are longer and stouter than 
in any other species known to me, each is directed at almost 
or quite a right angle wath the derm in which it is set. From 
behind they can be seen to be in quite regular rows, of which
