 Klytra much wider than prothorax, \f\i\\ rows of very large 

 punctures or fi)vec'€ ; interstices much narrower than f'oveae, 

 with a few small granules, third and htth somewhat elevated 

 in places, and in places subtuberculate.

Hub. Queenshind : Kuranda. 



Readily distinguished from griseatus, by the elytra being 

 narrower and with very much larger punctures or fovese ; 

 the jjrotiiorax is also of difierent shape and with much larger 

 punctures. The complete abscuce of fascicles readily dis- 

 tinguishes it from cuUratus.

Rliinaria longirostris, sp. n. 



Dark reddisli brown, some parts darker. Densely clothed 

 with scales varying from almost white to sooty. 



Head with dense concealed punctures. Rostrum sub- 

 quadrangular, more than twice as long as wide, concave 

 along middle, the sides narrowly elevated, witli a feeble 

 median ridge near base. Scape about as long as four 

 following joints combined ; first joint of fnnicle about as long 

 as three following combined, second slightly longer than third. 

 Prothorax about as long as wide, sides strongly rounded ; 

 with numerous granules on disc. Elytra with regular rows 

 of large, partially concealed punctures ; interstices much 

 wider than punctures, and with a few depressed granules. 

 Legs stout.

Hab. New South Wales : Blue Mountains, Ourimbah. 

 In general appearance much like small specimens of 

 cavirostris, but with the rostrum much thinner and almost 

 twice as long. On the under surface and legs the scales 

 are mostly white ; on the upper surface they are mostly 

 stramineous. On some specimens there is but slight 

 variation in colour, but on others a vague pale fascia may 

 be traced on the elytra before the middle, and before and 

 behind same there are numerous sooty spots, more or less 

 irregularly conjoined. On the prothorax the scales are 

 denser on each side of the base than elsewhere. On the 

 scutellum they are mostly white. On the prothorax there 

 are numerous setre that rise sligiitly above the derm ; ou
