wrinkled or corrugated in male, the basal segment narrowly 
impressed across base and across middle of apex. i Tobie 
curved, bisinuate beneath, not largely dilated at apex. 
Length, 44; width, 14 mn. 
Hab.—N.S.W.: Armidale, Inverell. 
The colour of the elytral suture is sometimes traceable 
without removal of scales, but when these have been abraded 
it shows up very distinctly. The small and reguiar prothor- 
acic tubercles are very distinctive. 
MANDALOTUS PINGUIS, n. Sp. 
Blackish ; antennæ and legs obscure reddish-brown, tarsi 
paler. Not very densely clothed with small, round, grey 
scales (in certain lights having a golden-green reflection) ob- 
scurely mottled with small brown patches. With numerous 
stout sete, conspicuous but scarcely linear in arrangement ; 
at tne sides (especially of the elytra) becoming rather long 
and resembling the clothing of the legs; this is thin anl 
straggling, and scarcely longer on the tibiæ than elsewhere. 
Rostrum short, stout, curved, non-carinate. Scape al- 
most straight, stout at apex; first joint of funicle obtriangu- 
lar, as long as the two following combined. Prothoras 
feebly transverse, rather strongly rounded; densely and 
finely punctate; without tubercular elevations and without 
median line. Scutellum not traceable. Elytra subovate, 
distinctly wider than prothorax, widest before middle; 
shoulders rounded; seriate-punctate, punctures small and 
close together ; interstices wide, regular, and flat. Two basal 
segments of abdomen strongly punctate, the others with 
denser and smaller punctures. Tibiæ almost straight on 
their outer edges, all (but especially the posterior) large at 
apex. Length, 52; width, 23 mm. 
Hab.—Rottnest Island. 
A rather short, stout species, without rostral carina; from 
ventralis it may be distinguished by the absence of prothor- 
acie tubercles, from punctiventris by having no median line, 
and from pilosus, to which it is closest, by the shorter and 
sparser clothing, less strongly curved tibiæ, wider elytral in- 
terstices, and smaller punctures. 
MANDALOTUS PALLIDUS, n. sp. 
Testaceous, under surface livid. Not very densely clothed 
with obscure muddy scales. With numerous moderately 
long, suberect sete, darker and more numerous on the pro- 
thorax than on the elytra, on the latter they are sublinear 
in arrangement; tibi; in male fringed beneath with long, 
soft hair, less noticeable on the intermediate than on the 
others.
