increasing in width to beyond the middle, shoulders subtu- 
berculate; striate-punctate, punctures large, approximate, 
subquadrate ; interstices wide and convex. Legs long; tibiæ 
straight except at apex, with numerous feeble teeth beneath. 
Length, 13 ; width, 5 mm. 
llab.—Swan River. 
The club of the antennæ is very peculiar. Тһе unique 
specimen described was obtained under bark of an Hucalyp- 
tus. 
ESMELINA FLAVOVITTATA, Pasc. 
The deciduous mandibular processes of this species are re- 
markably long. Іп а specimen under examination they are 
almost as long as the scape, highly polished, curved, narrow, 
sharp-edged internally, and cross at about their middle. 
E. AvsTRALIS, Blackb. Hab.—Sydney, Como. 
CHERRUS PLEBEJUS, Oliv. 
Variable in regard to size and sexually variable in width. 
The elytral interstices are very variable in regard to their 
elevations and tuberosities, being sometimes wider and some- 
times narrower than the striæ, the alternate ones are usually 
more highly elevated; the sutural interstices are always 
smooth and flattish. | C. opatrinus and ebeninus appear to 
be synonyms. 
CHERRUS INFAUSTUS, Oliv. 
A. variable species in regard to size and shape and the dis- 
position and size of the elytral tubercles; vodımerus is with- 
out doubt synonymous. 
CHERRUS CENOSUS, Fahrs. 
With doubt I refer three specimens (from Armidale and 
Glen Innes) to this species. They are smaller than the usual 
run of C. plebejus, from which they may be at onee dis- 
tinguished by the suture of the elytra being tuberculate, and 
the other interstices tuberculate throughout, and scarcely or 
not at all alternately raised. 
CHERRUS MASTERSI, Pasc. 
A specimen under examination (from Mount Barker, 
W.A.) measures but 73 lines. 
CHERRUS PUNCTIPENNIS, Pasc. 
I have two specimens (from Donnybrook) which agree with 
Mr. Pascoe’s description of this species, except that they are 
considerably larger (94 and 11 lines). In both specimens the 
deciduous mandibular processes are present; they are stout 
and blunt, and are directed at right angles to the apex of ros- 
trum.
