Hab.—N.W. Australia (Macleay Museum), King's Sound 
(W. W. Froggatt). 
On the smaller specimens the spots of brown scales on the 
elytra are more pronounced; in none, however, do they en- 
croach on the sides or suture. The stout sete are of a pale 
yellow colour, and in some lights cause the upper surface (es- 
pecially of the elytra) to appear to be of a pale golden green. 
MYLLOCERUS USITATUS, n. sp. 
Black; densely clothed with pale greenish-grey scales; the 
elytra with small brown spots marking many of the punc- 
tures; head and prothorax with numerous blackish specks. 
Elytra with rather numerous, but scarcely traceable, yellow- 
ish setze. 
Head almost flat between eyes. Rostrum with three 
feeble ridges, all of which are sometimes concealed, and of 
which the median one is less pronounced. Scape long, ra- 
ther suddenly curved in middle; two basal joints of funicle 
elongate, the first noticeably longer than second. Prothorax 
moderately transverse, base rather strongly bisinuate, sides 
moderately rounded, with strong, concealed punctures. Scu- 
tellum as long as wide. — Elytra much wider than prothorax, 
gently increasing in width to near apex; striate-punctate, 
punctures rather small, subquadrate, approximate, almost or 
quite concealed. Ретота clavate, edentate. Length, 54; 
width, 2 mm. 
Hab.—N.S.W.: Whitton. 
The greenish tinge is more pronounced at the sides and on 
the under surface; on one specimen many of the scales are 
decidedly golden.

Tırınıa BREVICOLLIS, Blackb. 
Mr. Blackburn describes this species from “W. Australia.” 
I have it from Geraldton and Garden Island ; at both places 
it is common on a species of acacia. The elytral spots of 
pale scales vary from a dull, dead white to a pale green; 
sometimes the spots are entirely absent; in the female there 
is seldom a trace of golden lustre; in males in which the 
golden spots are very pronounced the legs are usually clothed 
with golden scales. The species is extremely close to 7. 
tenuis, 
PROXYRUS LECIDEOSUS, Pasc. 
An abundant and somewhat variable species. I have it 
from Geraldton, Dongarra, and Beverley.
