satis ; rostro valido, in medio carinato ; elj'tria taberculis conicis 

 instructis. Long. 7 lin. 



Hah. Queensland (Mackenzie River). 



Allied to L. muricata^ but with stout antennae and with 

 fewer tubercles on the elytra ; ovate, rather glossy black ; 

 head with a deej) fovea between the eyes, below a narrow 

 glossy carina with a deep gi'oove on each side ; funicle witli 

 all the joints except the first two transverse ; basal joint of 

 the club cylindrical ; prothorax irregularly tuberculate, a 

 rough excavation near the apex ; scutellum small, indistinct ; 

 elytra with several small tubercles and larger conical ones 

 intermixed, three of the latter on the inner and four on the 

 outer side, the intervals tilled with small reddish-yellow scales, 

 and more so than on the jjrotliorax ; body beneath and legs 

 with fine hair-like scales. 



Leptops imisimon, to which this species may be also com- 

 pared, has, intei' alia, a short stout rostrum, irregularly sculp- 

 tured, and an elevated tubercle over each eye. 



Leptops furfuracea. 



L. oblongo-ovata, nigra, sat dense silaceo-squamosa ; antcnnis at- 

 tenuatis ; rostro elongato, antice liaud carinato ; elytris postice 

 tuberculatis, humeris acutis. Long. lin. 



Hah. New South Wales. 



Oblong ovate, black, rather closely covered, especially on 

 the elytra, with small reddish-yellow scales ; antenna3 very 

 slender, second joint of the funicle longer than the first ; ros- 

 trum as long as the prothorax, not carinated, the scrobe 

 curving up towards the middle of the eye ; prothorax slightly 

 transverse, rugose, but scarcely tuberculate ; scutellum 

 rounded, jn-ominent ; elytra broader behind the middle, each 

 with two lines of tubercles, those on the inner line gradually 

 increasing in size, on the outer line less so, one terminating 

 at the shoulder ; legs rather slender. 



The punctures on the elytra are somewhat foveiform and 

 lined with scales, some of which, as on other parts, are min- 

 gled with larger ones. I do not know any near ally to this 

 species : the sculpture of the elytra is similar to that of 

 L. qiiadn'dens j but their form is different. 



Leptops acutispinis. 



L. ovata, nigra, squanaulis albidis ubique dense teeta ; elytris trica- 

 rinatis, humeris sjnna acuta armatis. Long. 7 lin.
