 Long. 30 mm. ; terebra} long. 45 mm. 



? . Head opaque, finely coriaceous, massive, slightly 

 swollen behind the eyes, the hind margin rather feebly 

 carinated. Eyes separated from the hind margin of the 

 head by a distance equal to fully half their own length; 

 ])osterior ocelli in a line with the summit of the eyes, fully 

 half as far again from each other as from the eyes. Cheeks 

 as long as the first joint of the flagellum ; a longitudinal 

 carina between the antennai. Second joint of the flagellum 

 twice as long as the first, third nearly half as long again as 

 the first and second combined. Neck very short ; angles 

 of the pronotnm unarmed. Thorax opaque, coriaceous, the 

 sides of the prsesciitum with fine transverse striae; prsescutum 

 nearly twice as long as the senium, with two short slightly 

 raised lines converging from the anterior margin ; the curved 

 line dividing the scutum and prpescutuin broad and crenu- 

 lated. jNIedian segment irregularly transversely rugose- 

 striate, with an indistinct median carina ; hind coxae shining, 

 punctured at the base, finely transversely striated at the 

 apex ; hind metatarsus about equal in length to the four 

 apical tarsal joints ; the fifth joint long, about equal to the 

 second. Pleurae finely rugose ; mesosternum coarsely trans- 

 versely striated, the sides of the median segment also coarsely 

 striated. 



Hab. Victoria (ex coll. Turner, received through C. 

 French). 



This is the largest species of the genus known to me. 

 The head and thorax, especially on the sides, are clothed 

 with very short white pubescence, as in F. hreviscutum, 

 Kieff. The radius is bent into a sharp angle at about two- 

 thirds from its base, as in all the group of hreviscutum. 



Foenus calothecus, Kiefi". 



Oasteruption calothecus, Kieff. Ami. Soc. Eot. France, Ixxx. p. 198 

 (1911). $. 



Specimens of this species from Yallingup, S.W. Australia, 

 are larger than the type, measuring up to 22 mm., with the 

 terebra GO mm., but do not seem to diff'er appreciably in 

 colour or structure. The type is from Queensland ; the 

 cotype has been labelled Mexico, evidently by mistake.
