 Port Denison. 



Dark brown, subopaque, with soft, scattered hairs, particularly 

 on the protliorax ; head short, quadrate in front, with a transverse 

 impression beneath the antennae ; lip small, transverse ; eyes of 

 moderate size, reniform ; antennas distant at the base, longer than 

 the body, setaceous, the basal joint subpyriform, the third longer 

 than the fourth, the fifth and sixth about equal, the rest very 

 gradually decreasing in size ; palpi ferruginous, the last joint 

 narrowly triangular ; prothorax rounded, depressed, or nearly 

 plane above, the side somewhat irregular, with a short tooth pos- 

 teriorly ; scutellum transversely subtriangular ; elytra very short, 

 the sides nearly parallel, rounded at the apex, very closely or 

 nearly confluently punctured, with three very slightly-raised lon- 

 gitudinal lines in the middle of each, the side and sutures bordered 

 with pale yellow, and at the base an oblique, yellowish line, com- 

 mencing at the shoulder, and another rather beyond the middle, 

 neither reaching to the suture ; body beneath and legs chesnut- 

 brown, shining, the tarsi yellowish ; prosternum raised, termi- 

 nating in a short tooth posteriorly.

Robust, brown, inclining to pitchy, with scattered, irregular 

 patches of pale-greyish hairs ; head entirely covered with greyish 

 hairs : antennae stout, twice as long as the body in the male ; 

 prothorax subtransverse, rounded at the sides, much broader in 

 front, with three nearly obsolete tubercles on the disc; scutellum 

 transversely triangular ; elytra simply punctured, considerably 

 broader than the prothorax at the base, very gradually tapering 

 posteriorly, the apex of each armed with two well-developed 

 spines ; body beneath reddish-brown, covered with an uniform 

 greyish pubescence ; legs pitchy-brown, covered with a close 

 greyish pile.

This is a species very likely to be confounded with Phacodes
