E'THEMAIA VAGANS, n. Sp. 
Black; antenne, tibiæ, tarsi, and sides of elytra dull red. 
Densely clothed with muddy-grey scales, a subquadrate 
blackish patch on elytra, under surface with obscure blackish 
patches, femora and tibie with feeble blackish rings. Legs 
with white sete. 
Head flat, scarcely wider than rostrum.  .Rostrum longer 
than usual, parallel between eyes and antenne and tricari- 
nate, apex dilated. Prothorax narrow, longer than wide, 
sides rounded in middle and feebly transversely impressed 
near base and apex; with a feeble median groove; densely 
and strongly punctate, punctures distinctly visible. — Elytra 
much wider than prothorax, shoulders oblique, subtubercu- 
late; apex rounded ; seriate-punctate, punctures large, round, 
their positions distinctly visible through scales; third and 
fifth interstices feebly raised, each with two almost obsolete 
tubercles on disc, the third with a distinct tubercle at sum- 
mit of posterior declivity, fifth with a smaller one below sum- 
mit, and a still smaller one before it. Under surface with 
positions of punctures visible. Legs longer than usual; fe- 
mora thickened; tibiæ tipped with black sete; third tarsal 
joint distinctly bilobed, fourth slightly shorter than three pre- 
ceding combined. Length, 54; rostrum, 14; width, 2 mm. 
Hab.—N.S.W.: Richmond River; W.A.: Newcastle. 
Allied to but abundantly distinct from angusticollis. From 
the description of adusta it differs in the rostrum having three 
carinæ (or seven, if the lateral ones are counted), the scutel- 
lum not raised, and each elytron with only three tubercles 
about the posterior declivity. 
ETHEMAIA FUNEREA, n. Sp. 
Black; tarsi, base and apex of tibiæ, dull red. Densely 
clothed with black scales. Under surface and legs with dingy 
whitish sete, rostrum with black setze. 
Head densely and distinctly punctate, flat and wide, а 
feeble ridge shghtly projecting over each eye. Rostrum 
short, broad, narrower than head, with five longitudinal 
granulate ridges between eyes and antenne, apex dilated. 
Prothorax subeylindrical, sides very feebly sinuous, apex as 
wide as base, with large, coarse punctures, only partially con- 
cealed. — Elytra more than twice the width of prothorax; 
shoulders square, nontuberculate ; seriate-punctate, punctures 
large, round, appearing small and deep through scales ; inter- 
stices scarcely alternately raised, summit of posterior declivity 
with a moderately distinct tubercle on third, second with a 
much less distinct one, two feeble tubercles before summit, 
fifth with a small tubercle just before and another just belo.
