come gradually larger, these two form no exception. I have 

 seen three individuals, one of which is now in my collection, all 

 males, taken by Mr. DuBoulay. 



Ctenaphides porcellus. (PI. XVin. fig. 10.) C. atteouatus, 

 brunneus, squamulis albis tenuiter tectus ; rostro caplte vix dujilo 

 longiore, crebre punctulato, basi et inter oculos canaliculate 5 protlio- 

 race cylindrico, transversim corrugate ; scutello parvo, triangulari ; 

 elytris modice elongatis, lateribus subparallelis, apice conjunctini ro- 

 tundatis, supra punctato-striatis, interstitiis convexis ; infra pedibusque 

 albo-squamulosis. Long. 3^ lin. 



Hab. Western Australia (Champion Bay). 



GoNiPTERUs FERRUGATus. Gt ampliatO-ovatus, nigef, squamositate 

 ferruginea, squaroulisque griseis interjectis, vestitus ; rostro capite 

 angustiore et paulo breviore, in medio et inter oculos longitudinaliter 

 sulcato ; prothorace subconico, rugoso-punctato, vittis quatuor fuscis 

 denudatis ornate ; scutello elevato, subrotundato j elytris subtriangu- 

 laribus, substriato-punctatis, punctis pafvis, interstitiis vix elevatis, 

 huraeris calloso-productis, tuberculo posthumerali magno, in singulo 

 elytro cristis duahus basalibus, exteriore minore> tertiaque apiccm 

 versus parum elevata munitis ; lateribus elytrorum, corpore infra, 

 pedibusque squamulis griseis piliformibus dispersis. Long. 4 lin. 

 Hah. Queensland. 



The mesosternum in this species is a little produced, as in Oxyops ; 

 but its obvious affinity to G. gibherus^ Boisd., and the presence of 

 a posthumeral tubercle seem to me of greater importance, and 

 therefore I venture to place it in Gonipterus. 



GoNiPTERUS ciNNAMOMEUS. G. elHptico-ovatus, fuscus, squamosi- 

 tate cinnamomea et squamulis piliformibus dilutioribus tectus ; capite 

 rostroque pallide squamulosis, hoc latiore quam longiore, medio con- 

 vexo ; prothorace subconico, supra vittis quatuor saturatis notato; 

 scutello oblongo-ovato ; elytris breviusculis, basi elevatis, deinde api- 

 cem versus gradatim minus convexis, in singulo tuberculis duobus, uno 

 basali, altero prseapicali, basi maculisque magnis quatuor posticis fusco- 

 cinnaraomeis; corpore infra pedibusque squamulis einnamomeis et 

 griseis adspersis densius vestitis ; antennis griseo-pilosis. Long. 

 3 lin. 

 Hnb. Queensland. 



This species has the habit of G. lepidotus, (xylL, but is at once 

 distinguished by the pale broad band-like mark boliind the base of 

 the elytra. 



Gonipterus balteatus. G. elliptico-ovatus, supra gri-seo-sijuamu-
