circular. This species also is smaller than dentifer, and its elytra 
are considerably less narrowed from the base hindward, being 
almost parallel ; also the large subapical tubercles of the elytra 
are more erect and are distinctly curved in shape, their apices 
being directed towards each other; neither have I seen any 
example of dentifer in which the squamosity of the upper surface 
is of a uniform grey colour, as it is in my unique example of this 
insect. . multidentatus, Chevr., from Tasmania, is described (in 
spite of its name) as having only fowr tubercles on each elytron, 
and as being very differently coloured from the present species. I 
think a Rhachiodes from Tasmania sent me by Mr. Simson is 
almost certainly multidentatus, but as it is open to doubt it is 
better not to mention other characters than those specified in 
Chevrolat’s description.

This genus is easily recognisable among the Australian 
Erirhinine by its subbasal scrobes. The present species may be 
at once distinguished from G’. wnicolor, Pasc., by its testaceous 
antenne and from G. varipes, Blackb., by its smaller size, 
evidently narrower build, and different colors and markings. In 
G. varipes the upper surface is evenly (though not very closely) 
clothed with shining whitish scales, and has no pattern, while 
in the present species the whitish scales are of an opaque tone, 
and are so intermingled with blackish scales that there is a very 
distinct though very variable pattern, consisting of two wide 
dark vittz on the disc of the prothorax, and a number of smaller 
or larger dark spots or blotches (in some examples exceeding the 
lighter coloring in extent) dispersed over the elytra.
