fertim et longe pilosis ; tibiis posticis in mare ad apicem valde 

 curvatis. Long. 2 lin.

This species has a mottled appearance to the naked eye, 

 owing to the uncovered derm around each of the larger scales 

 on the prothorax and the baldness in parts of the strige on the 

 elytra. The scape is more than half as long again, and pro- 

 portionally more slender than in T. figurata. 



Lixus Breweri. 



L. niger, subnitidus, squamulis piliformibus silaeeis, plurimis 

 elongatis maculatim condensatis, vestitus ; rostro crassiusculo, 

 prothorace breviore, parum arciiato, irregulariter punctulato, baud 

 carinato ; antennis subferrugineis, clava oblongo-elUptica ; pro- 

 thorace subeonico, longitudine latitudini aequali, confertim 

 punctato, lateribus silaeeis ; elytris striato-punctatis, interstitiis 

 convexis, apicibus acuminatis ; corpora infra pe(hbusque tenuiter 

 griseo-pilosis, illo flavo-pollinoso. Long. 6 lin. 



Hab. Albany. 



In size and outline resembling L. Myagri^ but, inter alia^ 

 the rostrum not carinate. The spotted appearance is due to 

 patches of longish, erect, hair-like scales ; and this character 

 will at once distinguish it from L. tasmanicxis^ Germ. Of the 

 latter I have specimens trom Victoria, West Australia, and 

 Queensland. It is unaccountable to me why Germar, who 

 described it from an admittedly Adelaide specimen (or speci- 

 mens), should have so named it, as it is not known to occur 

 in Tasmania. Lixus australis, Boisd. (I rely on the identifi- 

 cation from a specimen out of a Paris collection), has an 

 elongate conical prothorax, and closely resembles the Javan 

 L. hinodulus. Dedicated to Mr. Brewer, who has now for 

 some years been collecting tlie insects of West Australia. 



Lixus Mastersii. 



L. niger, subnitidus, squamis piliformibus griseis omnino leviter 

 vestitus ; capite inter oculos fovea profunda impresso ; rostro 

 crassiusculo, brevi, vix ai'cuato, disperse pUoso ; antennis uigris, 

 pubescentibus ; scapo brevi ; prothorace conico, latitudine paulo 

 longiore, confertim punctato ; elytris cylindricis, sulcato-punctatis, 

 punctis majusculis, approxLmatis, interstitiis parum convexis, 

 apicibus rotundatis. Long. 5 lin. 



Hab. New South Wales (Rope's Creek). 

 This species is remarkable for its comparatively very short 

 rostrum ; a more sparsely distributed pubescence just behind
