 than apex ofrostrum. Prothorax moderately transverse, sides rounded 

 and strongly diminishing in width from middle to apex; with dense 

 concealed punctures. Elytra scarcely wider than prothorax, Shoulders 

 feebly advanced ; with numerous small granules or tubercles beneath fascicles,

Readily distinguished from E. cajmrinits by the shape of the prothorax 

 and from K nmsadus (referred by Pasooe to Pm-opterus) by the much 

 less strongly advanced Shoulders. An unpublished species from Tasmania 

 very strongly resembles it, but has the forehead trisinuate.

 feeble fascicles; elytra with a feeble fascicle on each tubercle. but a very 

 distinct one on each side of suture near base. 



Head with dense punctures; forehead not trisinuate. Kostrum 

 considerably wider at base than at apex; base with coarse punctures, 

 elsewhere shining and with small and sparse punctures. Antennse inserted 

 much closer to base than apex of rostrum. Prothorax moderately trans- 

 verse, sides rounded; with dense, round, rather large and only partially 

 concealed punctures. Elytra not much wider than prothorax, basal 

 two thirds subcylindrical, thence obliquely decreasing to apex; with 

 numerous small tubercular elevations; base, and suture near base, with 

 small and polished granules; with regulär series of punctiu'es just trace-
