Hab.—Tweed River. 
Å small species somewhat resembling campylocnemis and 
valgus, from both of which it may be readily distinguished 
by its large prothorax and small elytra. 
MANDALOTUS AMPLICOLLIS, n. Sp. 
Male. Black; antenne and tarsi of a dingy red. Very 
densely clothed with: muddy-brown scales, not only conceal- 
ing the derm, but even the positions of the punctures. Pro- 
thorax with stout, suberect sete, on the elytra becoming sub- 
linear in arrangement. All the tibiæ fringed beneath with 
long, soft hair, but rather sparser on the anterior than on 
the four posterior. 
Rostrum stout, distinctly curved, non-carinate; scrobes 
deep. Scape stout, shorter than usual. First joint of 
funiele once and one half the length of second. Prothoras 
large, much less transverse than usual, sides rounded, apex 
scarcely narrower than base; densely punctate, with small, 
regular, seta-crowned granules, median line just traceable 
through clothing. Scutellum not visible. ^ Elytra compara- 
tively small, almost the width of prothorax at base, and 
scarcely wider elsewhere; seriate-punctate, punctures rather 
large and round ; interspaces finely punctate, alternate inter- 
stices raised. Basal segment of abdomen widely depressed, 
the depression continued on to second segment, but small, 
and bounded behind by a distinct ridge. bic stouter than 
usual, strongly curved, apex of the anterior so strongly 
curved as to be almost drawn backwards. Length, 6; width, 
21 mm. 
Hab.—Forest Reefs. 
The scape is shorter than in any other species with which 
I am acquainted. Тһе clothing is so dense that the sculp- 
ture is entirely hidden; many of the suberect sete on the 
elytra are more like stout, soft scales than true sete. The 
rostrum is dilated at the middle and non-carinate, the api- 
cal plate being abruptly terminated. 
MANDALOTUS SPURCUS, n. Sp. 
Blackish ; antenne and tarsi of a dingy red. Moderately 
densely clothed with muddy scales mixed with a few sete. 
Anterior tibie in the male rather feebly fringed beneath 
with long, soft hair. | 
Rostrum stout, curved, narrowly carinate, the carina 
sometimes almost concealed. Scape almost straight; first 
joint of funicle slightly longer and noticeably thicker than 
second; club larger than usual. Prothoraz moderately 
transverse, sides rather feebly rounded, apex as wide as 
base, median line feeble, disc almost smooth. Scutellum
