than first; club elliptic, the length of five precctling joints 

 roinhincd. Prothorax sniiill, moderately transverse, sides 

 moderately roiinded ; with dense, normally concealed punc- 

 tures ; with a short and partially concealed nicdiau carina. 

 Eh/tra much wider than [)nith(!rax, i)ase trisinuate, jjarallel- 

 sidcd to about the middle ; with rows of large, nu)rc or less 

 concealed punctures ; third interstice with a rather large 

 elongated tubercle about the middle, fourth with a rather 

 more obtuse one at basal fourth, filth with a rather feeble 

 o!u> level with the one on third : elsewhere with very feeble 

 tubercular swe' lings. Pectoral cunul and mcsosternal re- 

 ceptacle transversely corrugated. Metastcrnum foveatc at 

 apex. Abilonicn with first segment very little longer than 

 second, middle of apex depressed and suture there strongly 

 incurved, second slightly longer than third and fourth com- 

 bined. Leys rather long ; femora acutely and moderately 

 dentate, hind ones passing apex of elytra.

 witli less clothing on basal portion, apical |)ortioii with much 

 smaller and sparser punctures ; antennte inserted in exact 

 middle of rostrum ; inetistcrnal fovea smaller smaller, basal

Hnb. Queensland : Kuranda. 



Ditiers from squamiventris m the pectoral canal being 

 corrugated and non-squamosc along middle, second abdo- 

 minal segment larger in proportion, clothing and tubercles 

 difleicnt, legs shorter, &c. The large elytral tubercles arc 

 supplied with granules, but these are normally concealed by 

 the fascicles. The femoral teeth, although fairly large, are 

 normally indistinct on account of the clothing. 



Neomystocis sqiiainivcntiis, ijca. 



The type of this species was described from a female in 

 rather poor condition; but two specimens from Kuranda 

 taken by Mr. Bryant are evidently perfect, as are also some 

 from the sanu; locality tiiken by Air. F. P. Dodd. These 

 specimens have the upper surface densely clothed with slaty 

 green rounded scales, interspersed with some snowv-whitc 

 ones, and with two black fascicles on the prothorax and 

 several on the elytra. 



The male (lifters from the female in having the rostrum 

 slightly shorter, with more distinct punctures, and the 

 clothing continued along its sides to in front of the middle.
