with marked subapical constriction; median line not impressed, 

 but very finely carinate; an obscure indefinite impression 

 present at each side of disc; disc with small, widely separate 

 granules, the derm between finely strigose, the central strigae 

 longitudinal, the more lateral ones running transversely 

 inwards and obliquely downwards and inwards from the sides ; 

 sides non-strigose, with a few granules above. Elytra (7x5 

 mm.) gently convex above, strongly declivous towards apex; 

 puncto-striate, the punctures small and regular; the median 

 interstices flattened, without granules, the more lateral inter- 

 stices each with a row of closely-set granules, more evident 

 towards the sides and posteriorly; lateral interstices not 

 granulate. Beneath with scattered punctures, much closer, 

 semiconfluent and coarser on the apical segment. Anterior 

 tibiae slight, curved towards the apex, the under-surface gently 

 sinuate ; posterior tibiae not curved, the under-surface dis- 

 tinctly, though not greatly, thickened in the middle; the 

 intermediate tibiae feebly sinuate on under-surface ; all with 

 small granules along the under-surface, but most marked at 

 the thickening on the posterior tibiae. 



9 . Differs from the male in the somewhat less strongly- 

 rounded prothorax, in the more convex under-surface, and 

 in the posterior tibiae being practically straight and hardly 

 thickened on the under-surface. Dim. — Male, 12x5 mm. ; 

 female, 10 x 4'5 mm. 



Hah, — Victoria: Nathalia, Tallarook ; South Australia: 

 Lucindale, Naracoorte, Murray Bridge. Type in author's 

 collection. 



Most of the specimens before me are labelled "Victoria" 

 without locality; probably it has a wide range in the western 

 portions of that State. A specimen from Oodnadatta differs 

 in having the head non-strigose; I do not think it is distinct. 

 The species may be differentiated from all other known ones, 

 with the exception of the two following, by the strigose pro- 

 thorax. Of these G . quadra ticolJ is is a much smaller species 

 with much less strongly-rounded prothorax; while C. svh- 

 strigosus, besides being smaller, has somewhat different granu- 

 lation of the prothorax and lighter tibiae not noticeably 

 thickened beneath. Mr. Sloane previously considered this 

 species to be C. ster/lii^, Pasc, but Mr. Blair states, after 

 comparison of my specimens with Pascoe's types, that it is 

 not that species. 



Specimens sent to me as C. maculatus, Macl., var. 

 hrevifes. Lea, by Mr. Lea himself, belong to this species : but 

 the specimens in Mr. Lea's collection do not. I may add that 

 unless the prothorax is more or less abraded the sculpture 

 cannot readily be distinguished. Normally the species is
