beneath and legs with scattered -white scales; anterior tibise 

 not toothed internally. 



A somewhat isolated species, except for the following ; its 

 most prominent character is the length of the basal joint of 

 the funicle ; the antennae are inserted at about a third of the 

 length of the rostrum from the apex. 



rtliorhinus carhonarius. 

 0. subcylindricus, niger, tuberculatus, vis sqiiamosus ; rostro 

 modice elongate ; antennis apicem versua rostri insertis ; pro- 

 thorace apice haud fasciculate. Long. 7 lin. 



Hah. New South Wales. 



Stouter than the preceding, and less cylindrical, with scarcely 

 any distinct scales ; rostrum rather stout and not quite so long 

 as the prothorax, reticulately punctured, each puncture bearing 

 a small whitish scale ; antennas inserted near the tip of the 

 rostrum, first joint of the funicle rather longer than the two 

 next together ; prothorax strongly constricted anteriorly, not 

 fasciculate, and covered with approximate unequal tuber- 

 cles ; scutellum elevated, punctiform ; elytra much broader 

 than the prothorax at the base, with small punctures irregu- 

 larly intermixed with unequal tubercles, the larger tubercles 

 having an obvious linear arrangement, base and middle of the 

 elytra slightly callous, preapical callus distinct ; anterior tibise 

 bisinuate internally. 



The insertion of the antennas is pretty close to the apex of 

 the rostrum in this species, as in 0. arrogans and some 

 others. 



OrthorTiinus lateralis. 



0. subcylindricus, piceus, tuberculattis, ochraceo-squamosus ; elytris 

 macula magna obliqua e squamulis condensatis notatis ; prothorace 

 apice bif asciculato ; rostro tcnuato,quam prothorax breviore. Long. 

 5Hn. 



Hob. Lord-Howe Island. 



Less cylindrical than 0. centurio, Montr., with broader 

 elytra and the oblique patch in the contraiy direction, running 

 from the base to the suture and meeting at about the middle ; 

 rostrum slender, shorter than the prothorax ; insertion of an- 

 tennas remote from the apex ; first joint of the funicle as long 

 as the three next together ; prothorax moderately constricted 

 anteriorly, with small scattered glossy tubercles, the apex with 

 two elevated tufts ; scutellum transverse, densely squamose j 

 elytra broader than the prothorax at the base, seriate-punc- 

 tate, the interstices finely tuberculatc, the alternate ones raised, 

 preapical callus not prominent ; legs rather stout ; anterior 

 tibias slightly bisinuate internally.
