small, not traceabie through clothing. H/ytra oblong-ovate, 
in both sexes wider than prothorax, widest in female; seri- 
ate-punctate, punctures round and close together; alternate 
interstices scarcely visibly raised; a feeble tubercular eleva- 
tion behind each shoulder. Tibia rather stout, not strongly 
curved, bisinuate beneath, not very wide at apex. Length, 
5.3 width;:2-mm: 
Hab.— N.S.W.: Sydney, Windsor. 
The very obtuse tubercular elevations of the prothorax and 
the feeble median line are entirely concealed by the not very 
dense clothing; the elytral punctures are rather larger than 
usual. The female is considerably wider than the male, but 
otherwise the sexual differences are not very pronounced. 
MANDALOTUS EXCAVATUS, n. Sp. 
Male. Blackish ; antennz and tibiæ of a dingy red. Densely 
clothed with dark muddy scales, interspersed with stout seta. 
Legs with stout setæ, the tibiæ not fringed beneath with long 
hair. 
Rostrum moderately long, narrowly carinate. Scape ra- 
ther stout; first joint of funicle almost twice the length uf 
second. Proihorax and elytra much as in the preceding, 
but the tubercular elevations of the prothorax very distinct 
and regular. Basal segment of abdomen strongly depressed 
in middle, the depression bounded at each corner by a dis- 
tinct ridge. 77006 much as in the preceding, but thinner.

MANDALOTUS SUTURALIS, n. Sp. 
Blackish ; antenne, tarsi, and suture of elytra of a dingy 
red. Not very densely clothed with small, rounded scales 
aud with numerous stout sete, on the elytra becoming linear 
in arrangement, and very conspicuous on the suture and al- 
ternate interstices. Legs setose, the anterior tibie of male 
rather sparsely fringed beneath with moderately long hair. 
Rostrum moderately stout, curved, strongly  carinate. 
Scape straight and moderately stout ; first joint of funicle 
noticeably longer and stouter than second. Frothorax 
slightly transverse, sides moderately round, base and apex 
almost equal, with small, closely packed, rounded, and regu- 
lar tubercles; median line just traceable either on perfect or 
abraded specimens. Scutellum small, transverse, indistinct. 
Elytra oblong-ovate; in male scarcely, in female distinctly 
wider than prothorax; seriate-punctate, the punctures com- 
paratively small and round, appearing in geminate rows 
through clothing; alternate interstices scarcely visibly raised, 
but slightly wider than the others. Abdomen transversely
