 compresso ; scrobibus preemedianis ; funiculo articulo primo quam 

 secuudo fere duplo longiore ; protborace transverso, sat dense 

 punctato, in medio linea lrevi snbnotato ; elytris striato-pnnctatis, 

 interstitiis modice latis, subconvexis ; corpore infra tenuitcr piloso ; 

 abdomine segmentis duobus basalibus modice ampliatis, sutura

Hah. King George's Sound. 



In A. suturalis, the type of the genus, the scrobes begin 

 nearly in the middle of the rostrum, the intermediate coxae 

 are comparatively rather widely separated, and the two basal 

 segments of the abdomen are unusually short, and their suture 

 nearly obsolete ; to which it may be added that the femora are 

 more decidedly toothed. In both species the rostrum is thicker 

 or compressed at the base, but is of the same width through- 

 out anteriorly. 



Cydmoza selligera. 



C. breviter elliptica, atra, sat dense albo-, medio elytrornm pro- 

 thoraceque fusco-sqnamosa ; rostro nigro, minus tenuato ; antennis 

 ferrugineis ; prothorace transverso, basi latiore ; elytris sub- 

 cordatis, leviter striato-punctatis, humeris callosis ; pedibus ferru- 

 gineis, sparse albo-squamulosis. Long. 1 lin. 



Hah. Champion Bay. 



Allied to G. pusilla ; but in that species the prothorax is 

 less transverse and tolerably straight at the sides, and the 

 coloration is different. 



Cydmwa notaticollis. 



C. breviter ovata, fusca, sat dense squamosa, prothorace utrinquc 

 albo, elytrisque, praesertim basi, sublineatim albo-ornatis ; rostro 

 fulvo, basi apiceque nigris ; antennis tenuioribus, funiculi articulo 

 primo quam duobus sequentibus longiore ; prothorace transverso, 

 basi latiore ; elytris subcordatis, striatis ; pedibus fulvis ; corpore 

 infra dense niveo-squamoso. Long. 1 lin. 



Hah. Western Australia (Perth). 



This is a very distinct species, being in the character of its 

 coloration cmite dissimilar to its congeners.
