610 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID.E. xi., 



Head feebly punctate; eyes rather finely faceted. Rostrum 

 with four punctate grooves, leaving three distinctly elevated lines 

 (less distinct in 9 than in ^), of which the median one is widest. 

 Prothorax about as long as wide; Hanks at apex with large round 

 punctures, but at base with very small punctures, disc with small 

 punctures evenly distributed. Elytra moderately strongly punc- 

 tured at apex, scarcely visibly elsewhere; very finely striate, 

 striae invisible from most directions. Under surface sparsely and 

 irregularly punctate. Femora with a row of punctures in front 

 and behind, at apex moderately densely punctate, posterior pass- 

 ing apex of elytra; tibise with rows of punctures. Length 3, 

 rostrum §; width IJ mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Wide Bay, Brisbane - N. S. Wales: Tweed, 

 Richmond, and Clarence Rivers. 



Idotasia ^qualis Pasc, I.e. No.5577. 



Colour and clothing much as in /. evanida. 



Head and rostrum much as in /. evanida, but the eyes rather 

 more coarsely faceted, and the rostral grooves and elevated lines 

 less pronounced in both sexes. Flanks of prothor'ux with large 

 round punctures both at apex and base, but more numerous at 

 apex, disc with larger punctures than in /. evanida. Elyti'a 

 punctate-striate, the striae fine but distinct, the punctures small 

 and distant, but moderately distinct, and at apex round and 

 regular. Punctures of under surface and legs much as in /. 

 evanida, but rather coarser. Length ii^ mm. 



//a6. — Queensland : Cape York, Rockhampton — N. S. Wales : 

 Tamworth. 



Close to the preceding species, but distinguished by the 

 decidedly coarser puncturation, especially of the prothorax, and 

 the striation of the elytra. 



Idotasia l^ta, n.sp. 



Black, shining. Snowy-white scales in rostral grooves, margin- 

 ing eyes, in punctures of legs, and forming a moderately distinct 

 patch on upper surface of hind femora. 



Head with sparse punctures, but moderately large and distinct 

 between eyes; these larger than usual. Rostrum and legs as in
