scrobes deep, distinct to but becoming shallow and curved at 
eyes; sides between and behind them straight, except towards 
base, where they become slightly outwardly oblique. Scape 
rather strongly curved, stout, much wider at apex than 
base, not extending to prothorax, shorter than funicle: first 
joint of the latter longer than second, but not as long as 
second and third combined; third to seventh strongly trans- 
verse. Prothorax feebly transverse, moderately convex, sides 
strongly, base moderately strongly rounded: without gran- 
ules, but with large, rounded, deep punctures or foveæ, which 
are more or less traceable through clothing. ута briefly 
subcordate, base noticeably wider than base of prothorax, 
and rather strongly emarginate; seriate- (scarcely striate-) 
pünctate, punctures much larger than usual (but smaller 
than those on prothorax), and distinct through clothing, in- 
terstices feebly convex and regular, except that the second is 
slightly wider than the others. Length, 31; width, 2 mm. 
Hab.—W.A.: Pinjarrah (on Kingia australis), 
This species is decidedly aberrant, but I have thought it 
best to place it in Essolithna, as the only really important 
features in which it differs are the length of the scrobe and 
the total absence of prothoracic granules. It is a much 
shorter and stouter species than any other with which I am 
acquainted. 
LEPTOPS GRANULATUS, n. Sp. 
Moderately densely clothed with scales varying from 
ochreous to dark reddish brown; the elytra in places with 
feeble interrupted pale fascie. ^ Abdomen and legs with long 
thin sete. 
Head somewhat flattened ; eyes ovate, not twice as long as 
wide. Rostrum comparatively thin; deeply channelled in 
middle, the channel divided in middle by a thin carina, 
towards each side with a slightly curved sulcus terminating 
before eye and antennæ; scrobes sinuous, deep, and narrow, 
distinctly terminated just before eyes; intervening raised 
spaces punctate. Antenne long and thin; all the joints of 
the funicle considerably longer than wide, the first a little 
longer than third, and shorter than second. Prothoraz al- 
most cylindrical, longer than wide (4 x 3%), widest just be- 
hind apex; with numerous large granules or small tubercles, 
each with a setose-puncture; median line feebly marked to- 
wards base, more noticeably towards apex. Elytra strongly 
convex, at base scarcely wider than prothorax, widest before 
the middle; striate-punctate, punctures moderately large, 
round and not approximate; interstices with numerous shin- 
ing granules, the third and fifth raised and subtuberculate at 
summit of posterior declivity. ^ Legs very long; femora with
