The most apparent character of this species is the strong punc- 



turation of its pronotum, which is almost identical in character 



with that of the elytra. The club of the antennae is still larger 



than that of C. ceciliense being of about average size among the 



Australian Cryj^torhopala but it still retains the oval form as in 



the preceding two species. The stipes of the antennae is stouter 



than in the preceding two species, with its apical joint more 



evidently dilated but not nearly sufficiently so to be recognised 



as a part of the club.

The antennae and sternal cavities of this species are those of a 



typical Cryptorhopalum ; among its congeners presenting these 



characters it is the only one known to me having bicolorous elytra 



with their pilosity unicolorous.

 Easily distinguishable from its immediate allies by the ashy 

 pilosity of its elytra being placed in four zones — basal, ante- 

 median, postmedian, and apical.
