Rostrum short, curved, distinctly: carinate. Scape 
straight, increasing to apex; two basal joints of funicle elon- 
gate, the first longer and stouter than second. —Prothorax 
widely transverse, apex noticeably narrower than base; disc 
smooth and without tubercular elevations; median lime nar- 
row, as distinct before as after removal of scales. Scutellum 
small, but distinct. Ауга in male scarcely, in female con- 
siderably wider than prothorax ; seriate-punctate, punctures 
moderately large and round (smaller in female than in 
male); interstices feebly convex, the alternate ones feebly 
raised. Basal segment of abdomen with a semi-circular row 
of strong punctures. Tibie slightly curved, bisinuate һе- 
neath, moderately dilated at apex. Length, 54; width; 
male 2, female 23 mm. 
Hab.— Sydney. 
Had I seen but one specimen I would probably have con- 
sidered it immature, but as there are fourteen under exami- 
nation, all agreeing in colour, I have no doubt but that the 
colour as described is that of fully matured specimens. The 
species is not very close to amy here noticed or described. 
MANDALOTUS RETICULATUS, n. Sp. 
Blackish; antennæ, prothorax, tarsi, and base of tibiæ 
dull reddish-brown. Sparsely clothed with small rounded 
scales. The elytra with very distinct but not numerous 
sete. Tibiæ moderately densely setose, but scarcely fringed 
beneath. 
Rostrum moderately stout, curved, acutely carinate. 
Scape slightly but distinctly curved; first joint of funicle 
almost twice the length of second.  Prothoraw moderately 
transverse, base and apex subequal, closely covered with 
small and very depressed but distinct tubercles; median line 
not at all traceable. Scutellum small, moderately distinct. 
Elytra oblong-ovate, not much wider than prothorax ; seriate- 
punctate, punctures not very large; interstices regular and 
finely punctate. Basal segment of abdomen with a semi- 
circular row of strong punctures. bie curved, the inter- 
mediate bisinuate beneath, the posterior curved outwards on 
apical half. Length, 3; width, 1} mm. 
Hab.—Inverell. 
The prothorax appears as if the elevations were less like 
tubercles than owing to numerous narrow impressions, in 
this respect differing esentially from those of suturalis. The 
curvature of the posterior tibie is remarkable.

Male. Blackish ; antenne, prothorax, tarsi, tibiæ, and base
