JExitJiius Simulator, n. sp. 



Densely clotlied with soft sooty scales, intermingled (especially on 

 under surface and base of femora) with ochreous ones; a median stripe 

 (dilated in the middle), and the sides of prothorax with ochreous scales. 

 Prothorax with six feeble fascicles and numerous small ones on elytra. 



Head with dense concealed punctures; forehead not trisinuate. 

 Rostrum with coarse concealed punctures at base, and rather coarse at 

 sides, but finer along middle. Antennse inserted distinctly nearer base 

 than apex of rostrum. 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, 

 of which there are three more distinct ones towards the base on each; 

 punctures entirely concealed. Abdomen with dense, round, concealed 

 punctures. Femora feebly dentate. Length 5V« — 6V2 mm.

Eeadily distinguished from E. caimcinus by the shape of the prothorax 

 and from E. musadus (referred by PASCOE to Poropterns) by the much 

 less strongly advanced Shoulders. An unpublished species from Tasmania 

 very strongly resembles it, but has the forehead trisinuate. 



Exithius funiatu.fi, n. sp. 



Densely clothed with soft sooty brown scales. Prothorax with six 

 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. Rostrum 

 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 punctures just trace- 

 able through clothing. Length 7 mm.

Pseudapries pediculosus, n. sp. 



Rostrum precious, antennse and tarsi dull red. Densely clothed with 

 scales of an uniform and rather .dark fawn, except on the elytra, which 

 are feebly transversely mottled with darker scales. In addition to the 

 ordinary scales with stout semi-erect ones: rather numerous on the
