Hab. Port Bowen (Queensland). 



The male of this species differs in several particulars from 

 the female : in the former the club of the antennae is cylin- 

 drical, in the latter it is shorter and thicker towards the tip, 

 or oblong-obovate ; the male has the fore legs unusually long, 

 with a number of small spine-like teeth beneath the femur 

 and tibia, the tarsus is also finely fringed with rather long 

 hairs at the side ; in the female these parts are of the normal 

 character. In some specimens there are one or two pale in- 

 definite semilunar marks on the elytra. The genus in general 

 appearance is like Macromerus and its allies, but is distin- 

 guished by the pectoral canal being bounded behind by the 

 metasternum, not by the mesosternum as in the great majority 

 of the Cryptorhynchinse. 



Salcus elevatus. 



S. breviter ellipticus, valde convexus, niger, squamulis piliformibus 

 griseis adspersus ; rostro prothorace longitudine vix aequali ; 

 antennis ferrugineis ; funiculi articulis duobus basalibus longi- 

 usculis, longitudine aequalibus ; prothorace longitudine fere duplo 

 latiore, sparse punctulato ; elytris lineatim impresso-punctatis ; 

 femoribus infra canaliculars, anticis dente parvo instructis. 

 Long. 3i-4| lin. 



Hab. Port Bowen. 



This species has the femora grooved beneath, a character 

 also present in 8. globosus (the type), but it is wanting in 

 8. dorsalis and the following species. 8. globosus is much 

 less convex, the prothorax is closely punctured, and the scales 

 are much smaller and less hair-like. In all the species of the 

 genus the scales on the tibiae are arranged in widely separated 

 lines. 



Salcus latissimus. 



S. modice convexus, latissime ovatus, niger, squamulis minutis valde 

 adspersus ; rostro validiore, prothorace longitudini vix sequali, 

 apice magis dilatato ; antennis fenuginds; funiculi articulis 

 duobus basalibus elongatis ; prothorace longitudine fere duplo
