densely clothed, and very similar in appearance and clothing 

 to C . maculatus, Macl. 



CUBICORRHYNCHUS QUADRATICOLLIS, n. Sp. 



S . Size small ; prothorax subquadrate, finely strigos©,, 

 with scattered granules. Black ; rather densely clothed with 

 obscure brownish squames ; setae light coloured. 



Rostrum and head much as in C. strigicollis, the granules 

 on the head more distinct ; the supra-ocular crests slightly 

 larger and more sloping. Prothorax (2'5 >^3 mm.) sub- 

 quadrate, rather feebly rounded on sides, the lateral basal 

 angles subangulate, not widely rounded; the sublateral 

 impressions more definite, when viewed from some directions, 

 appearing to indent the lateral margins; median line not 

 impressed or carinate; disc finely and closely strigose, more 

 evidently so than in C . strigicollis, the strigae running down- 

 wards and inwards from the anterior margin; with fine, 

 widely-separated granules among the strigae ; sides finely 

 strigose, with scattered granules above and in front. Elytra 

 (6 X 4"5 mm.) more ovate than in C . strigicollis ; the median 

 interstices with fine granules, rather irregularly arranged and 

 more or less widely separate, on the third interstice showing a 

 tendency to form two incomplete rows; the more lateral inter- 

 stices with granules more closely set, forming more or less 

 continous rows; lateral interstices non-granulate. Under- 

 surface as in C . strigicollis. Posterior tibiae short, thickened 

 and granulate on the under-surface, about the middle, feebly 

 incurved. 



9 . Rather more robust than the male ; prothorax 

 similar, but with lateral notch somewhat more conspicuous; 

 under-surface convex, with scattered yellowish setae, posterior 

 tibiae very little thickened, almost straight. Dim. — Male,. 

 9'5 X 4*5 mm. ; female, 11 x 5'5 mm.

 Compass, Mount Lofty. Type in South Australian Museum. 



Closely allied to both the preceding and the following 

 species, but I think distinct from both; the differences are 

 noted under those species. 



CUBICORRHYNCHUS SUBSTRIGOSUS, n. Sp. 



S . Small, elongate-ovate. Black; densely clothed 

 (fresh specimens), with light-brownish squames; setae light 

 coloured. 



Rostrum short, feebly concave above, separated from 

 head by a narrow impressed line; definite punctures not 

 traceable. Head closely, rather strongly strigose, the strigae 

 running upwards in the centre, obliquely outwards towards
