of antennae longer than the first and third, instead of shorter. 

 A specimen from the Huon River is rather small, of a 

 brighter colour, with paler club and sparser clothing ; but its 

 antennas are as in normal specimens. 



AULETES tUNCTICOLLIS, n. Sp. 



Reddish-navous ; metasternum, club, and two apical 

 joints of tarsi black, rostrum becoming darker from base to 

 apex but nowhere quite black. Moderately clothed with 

 short whitish pubescence, and with a few scattered semi-erect 

 setae. 



Head with dense punctures. Rostrum very feebly 

 curved, about once and one-third the length of prothorax, 

 sides feebly incurved to middle, with a row of feeble punc- 

 tures on each side. Antennae inserted close to base of ros- 

 trum, second joint the length of first, and stouter but 

 slightly shorter than third. Prothorax not much wider than 

 long, sides moderately rounded, base and apex subequal in 

 width ; with dense and comparatively coarse punctures. 

 Elytra parallel-sided to near apex : with fairly distinct but 

 small punctures near base (much smaller than on prothorax), 

 and small and indistinct ones elsewhere. Length, 2 mm. 



Hab. — Western Australia: Vasse (A. M. Lea). 



The prothorax is of a brighter red than in melaleucce, and 

 with sparser pubescence and sparser and larger punctures. 

 The rostrum is longer than in pallipes, and the tarsi are 

 differently coloured. On each of the two specimens before 

 me there is a feeble infuscated spot between the eyes. 



AULETES BRYOPHAGUS, n. Sp. 



Obscurely flavous; tips of claw-joints black, apical joint 

 of antennae infuscate. Clothed with rather long whitish 

 pubescence, and with fairly numerous semi-erect setae. 



Head with fairly numerous but partially-concealed punc- 

 tures. Rostrum almost straight, no longer than prothorax, 

 with a row of punctures on each side. Antennae inserted close 

 to base of rostrum, second joint the length of first but shorter 

 than third. Prothoraac about as long as wide, sides feebly 

 rounded, base and apex subequal ; with fairly dense but 

 partially-concealed punctures. Elytra paralleT-sided to near 

 apex : with dense punctures, small but fairly distinct at base, 

 and smaller elsewhere, but all partially concealed. Length, 

 If mm. 



Hab. — Tasmania: Hobart (A. M. Lea). 



Smaller and hairier than pvnctipennis, and the rostrum 

 shorter; from pilosus it differs in being paler, with longer
