Curculionidae from various parts of Australia. 



By A. M. Lea. 



Jjast year I undertook to name, as far as possible, the Curculionidae 

 from different parts of PI and S. Australia tliat were uniianied in tlie 

 Natural History Museum of Hamburg. 



Most of the species sent were represented in my own coUection, 

 and in drawing- up the descriptions of new species use was made of my 

 own specimens as well as those belonging to the Museum. Where but 

 a Single specimen was sent by the Museum, that was not represented in 

 my own collection, and could not be identified as belonging to a described 

 species, it was returned unnamed and as probably new. These unique 

 specimens were not described, as, from an Australian entomologists point 

 of view, it is very undesirable that authentically named specimens sliould 

 not -be locally referable to. 



Brachyderides. 



Evas craiisirostris, PASC. 



On perfect specimens of this species the prothorax appears to be 

 feebly striped. On abrasion the legs are seen to be of a rather bright 

 red. There are specimens in the Berlin Museum, from Adelaide, in the 

 Hamburg Museum, withuut locality, and in the collection of the Entomological 

 Society of Berlin, from Swan Eiver and Adelaide.
