A somewhat iaolated form, which, in the Anatralian fauna, may 

 be placed between Alphitopis and OrthorMnus, tlie rostrum, inter 

 alia, differentiating it from both. The scales are peculiar, being 

 deeply divided into six or seven hair-like branches ; each of 

 those on the prothorax arises from a puncture and is directed for- 

 wards ; on the elytra they are very densely crowded together in 

 lines.
