the sides; supra-ocular crests moderately large, acute, project- 

 ing backwards and slightly outwards. Prothorx (3x4 mm.) 

 moderately rounded on the sides, basal angles rounded; 

 moderately closely set with flattened, setigerous granules; 

 the derm between the granules somewhat obscurely strigose, 

 the central strigae running parallel to the median line, the 

 more lateral ones running transversely and obliquely; the 

 regions of the anterior and posterior lateral angles without 

 traceable stri^ae ; sides granulate above, obsoletely strigose 

 below and belfind. Elytra (7 x 475 mm.) ovate, convex, 

 strongly declivous posteriorly; puncto-striate, the punctures 

 small, open, indefinitely separated from each other; interstices 

 hardly granulate, a few indistinct granules alone distinguish- 

 able, these somewhat more evident towards the sides and on 

 the declivity; sides with interstices non-granulate. Beneath, 

 depressed over the metasternum and first ventral segment; 

 moderately closely set with rather small punctures, the apical 

 segment rather densely clothed with yellow setae. Anterior 

 coxae contiguous; anterior and intermediate tibiae slightly 

 curved, the anterior the more so; posterior tibiae almost 

 straight, feebly incurved. 



9 . Differs in the prothorax being less strigose, the 

 strigae being only traceable with difficulty, in the convex 

 abdomen, and in the posterior tibiae straight. D^m.— Male, 

 10 X 4-75 mm. ; female, 10 x 5 mm.

Close to G. quadraticollis, but I think distinct. The 

 strigae are less distinct on the prothorax, and the granules 

 more numerous and more distinct. In both these respects 

 the series shows a good deal of variation, but the longer and 

 more slender posterior tibiae will always separate from (7. 

 quadraticollis . 



Some specimens, from Mount Lofty Ranges, have the 

 prothoracic granules much more distinct, and possibly repre- 

 sent a different species. For the present I prefer to regard 

 them as a variety of C. substrigosus. 



CUBICORRHYNCHUS AUREOMACULATUS, U. Sp. 



J. Size moderately large; prothorax dentate at sides; 

 elytral interstices granulate. Black; upper-surface with 

 minute brownish squames, conspicuously maculate with larger 

 metallic coppery-golden and white squames; under-surface 

 with fine hair-like setae ; basal two-thirds of femora scantily 

 clad with white squames, apical third and tibiae with dense 

 white squames interspersed' with golden; setae light-brown.
