Curculionidae from various parts of Australia. 



By A. M. Lea. 



Last year I undertook to name, as far as possible, tlie Curculionidae 

 from different parts of E. and S. Australia that were unnamed in the 

 Natural History Museum of Hamburg. 



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

 and in drawing up the descriptious 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 should 

 not be locally referable to. 



Brachyderides. 



Evas crässirostris, 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, without locality, and in the collection of the Entomological 

 Society of Berlin, from Swa-n River and Adelaide. 



Prosayleus comosus, Gebm., Yar. Hab.: Australia. 



Otiorhynchides. 



Homoeotrachelas tricavinatus, LEA. Hab.: Queensland, 

 Peak Downs. 



Myllocerus rugicollis, LEA. 



A single specimen labelled Sydney, but probably incorrectly so. 



Titinia ignaria, PASC. Hab.: Queensland, Peak Downs. 



Leptopsides. 

 Leptops corrugatus, PASC. Hab.: Queensland, Rockhampton. 

 Plagyocovynus quadritubevculatus, WATH. Hab.: Queens- 

 land, Rockhampton.
