numerous flattened shining granules; tibiæ less noticeably 
granulate. Length from apex of eyes, 15; rostrum, 44; 
width, 64 mm. 
Hab.—Queensland. 
My unique specimen was labelled “Qd.,” and was probably 
taken by the late Mr. George Barnard, of Cooravoboolarno. 
The species (which in shape resembles a gigantic Apion) is 
very distinct from any other known to me; it appears to re- 
semble swhfasciatus (Pascoe), but that species is described as 
having a short scutellar stria, the scrobes “ab oculis remotis,” 
and the prothorax subtransverse. 
LEPTOPS NODICOLLIS, n. Sp. 
Densely clothed with pale ochreous scales becoming subfer- 
ruginous on disc of elytra. Rather densely covered with 
stout sete, paler on antennæ, abdomen, and legs than else- 
where, and very dense on rostrum, tibiæ, tarsi, and tubercles 
and suture of elytra. 
Head slightly raised between the eyes; eyes elongate-ellip- 
tic. Rostrum stout; rather shallowly channelled in middle, 
a feeble ridge dividing the channel into two; a rather deep 
and almost straight sulcus continued from antenne to near 
eyes, a short sulcus between it and scrobe ; scrobes behind an- 
tennæ almost straight, shallow, and terminating before eyes. 
Antennz long, rather stout; funicle with all the joints longer 
than wide, the first longer than second, the others gradually 
decreasing to apex.  Prothoraw subcylindrical, apparently 
longer than wide, but really transverse (male 34 x 32); some- 
what rough, but scarcely tuberculate, a shallow transverse 
impression interrupted by a small, flattened, shining tubercle 
in middle; median line marked at apex by a subpyriform im- 
pression. Elytra wider than prothorax at base, sides much 
enlarged (but almost straight) to beyond middle ; each elytrou 
very feebly produced in middle at base; seriate-punctate, 
punctures in male deep and moderately close, in female shal- 
lower and distant; interstices scarcely raised, posterior de- 
clivity almost vertical, marked at summit by a transverse row 
of four strong, subconical tubercles, of which those оп the 
third interstices are larger than those on the fifth. Length, 
male 134, female 19; rostrum, male 22; width, male 7 , female 
102 mm. 
Hab.—Cairns (б. Masters). 
Allied to tuberculata (Boheman), but with stouter rostrum 
and antenne, more irregular prothorax, and the shape and 
tubercles of elytra different. 
LEPTOPS MALEFICUS, n. Sp. 
Densely clothed with ochreous-grey scales, on different indi- 
viduals varyiug from almost white to a dingy brown, and
