small, ochreous-grey scales. With Stout, dark, suberect 
setze on the elytra, really linear in arrangement, but scarcely 
appearing to be so when viewed directly from above. Under 
surface sparsely and almost uniformly setose. All the tibiæ 
(but the intermediate less noticeably so) fringed beneath 
with long, soft hair, rather Sparser and longer than is usual. 
Rostrum moderately stout, not depressed at base, and non- | 
carinate. Scape comparatively thin, very feebly curved; 
first joint of funicle about once and one half the length of 
second. — Prothorax transverse, rounded, somewhat depres- 
sed, smooth; finely punctate, and with a feeble median line. 
Scutellum small. Elytra not much wider than prothorax, 
widest near base; seriate-punctate, punctures rather large 
and subquadrate; interstices feebly convex, and very feebly 
alternately raised. Basal segment of abdomen with a semi- 
circular row of strong punctures, the second with a few scat- 
tered large punctures, apical segment densely and finely 
punctate. Tibie strongly curved, suddenly at apex of pos- 
terior Length, 3; width, 14 mm. 
Hab.—Swan River. 
Somewhat resembles suturalis and the preceding, but may 
be at once distinguished by its smooth prothorax. The eyes 
are rather more coarsely faceted and more advanced in posi 
tion than usual. On the specimen described both of the de- 
ciduous mandibular processes are present, they are curved, 
directed outwards, and but slightly decrease in width to 
apex, their colour is red with the tip blackish. 
MANDALOTUS SUBGLABER, n. sp. 
Black, somewhat shining ; antennz (the club black), tarsi, 
and base of tibiæ dull reddish brown. Sparsely clothed with 
very small grey scales, and with subdepressed and not very 
stout sete. Тіра very feebly fringed beneath. 
Lostrum moderately stout, not depressed at base, dis- 
tinctly costate. Scape almost straight, rather suddenly 
thickened near apex; first joint of funicle obtriangular, twice | 
as long as second. Prothorax transverse, closely covered 
with small, flattened tubercles; median line narrow and in- 
distinct. Scutellum scarcely traceable. Hlytra oblong-ovate, in 
male scarcely, in female distinctly wider than prothorax ; 
seriate-punctate, punctures large and subquadrate; inter- 
stices convex and regular. Basal segment of abdomen de- 
pressed in middle, the depression continued on to second seg- 
ment and to metasternum. Anterior солее almost approxi- 
mate; tibiæ rather feebly curved and feebly bisinuate be- 
neath. Length, 4; width, 12 mm. 
Ilab.—Forest Reefs. 
A small, shining species which may be easily distinguished 
by the colour of the antenne.
