IIaplonyx LUCIUS. H. breviter obovatus, piceus, squatnulis albidia 

 spnrsis omiiino vestitus ; rostro valido, plus minusve elongate, apicc 

 paulo (lei)rcsso, subnudo, leviter punctate ; capite inter oculos parum

 tiis irregulariter elevatis, postice inter strias a sutura secundas et tertias 

 fascicule parve atre instructis; femeribus linearibus, subelengatis, 

 subtus dcnte mediano parvo armatis ; tibiis anticis intus muticis ; tarsis

 Hab. Champion Bay. 



The smaller examples of this species bear a close resemblance 

 to another species which I have seen in one or two collections 

 ticketed ^'li. Hopei, Boh.," but from which this differs notably, 

 according to Boheman's description *, in its long linear femora, 

 especially the anterior pair, in its having the anterior tibiae with- 

 out a tooth on the inner edge, and in its postmedian fascicle on 

 the elytra (not an oblong antemedian one), which, however, is 

 sometimes obsolete, and either with or without a patch of white 

 scales placed anterior to it. The length and thickness of the 

 rostrum in this species differs considerably, without reference to 

 the size of the individual. 



Haplonvx VESTiGiAiLis. H. ovatus, fuscus, sparse squamosus ; ro- 

 stro prothorace vix longiere, baud robuste, ad apicem vix latiore, in 

 medio leviter carinulato, et crebre punctate ; scape antennarum fusco- 

 grisee, funiculo ferruginee, art. prime quam secundus longiere ; pro- 

 thorace subgranulato-punctato, squamulis angustatis griseis adsperso ; 

 scutelle oblongo, apice angulato ; ^elytris sulcato-punctatis, punctis

 basi fasciaque pone medium obscure miniaceis ; infra pedibusque di- 

 sjierse griseo-squamosis ; tibiis anticis brevibus, arcuatis. Long. 

 2-3 lin, 



Hab. Queensland. 



This species is noticeable for the regularity of the distribution 

 of its scattered scales and the miniaceous- tinted base of the elytra 

 and their postmedian band.

 sus ; rostro prothorace breviore, robuste, apicem versus hand dilatato,
