Onesorus vermicollis, n. sp. 



Black, some parts obscurely reddish. Densely clothed 

 with scales of various shades of slaty-grey and brown, mixed 

 with setae. 



Head with an obtuse swelling near each eye. Eyes 

 elongate-ovate. Rostrum stout; median carina rather feeble, 

 but traceable from a rather narrow inter-ocular fovea to 

 apical triangle ; sublateral sulci slightly open in front, but 

 closed posteriorly. Antennae stout; scape very little shorter 

 than f imicle ; two basal joints of funicle moderately long and 

 subequal, four apical joints transverse. Prothorci/X strongly 

 transverse, with coarse vermiculate sculpture and large 

 irregular punctures, median line rather feeble. Scutellum 

 apparently absent. Elytra short and broad, with tows of 

 very large punctures, appearing much smaller through cloth- 

 ing; fourth, seventh, and tenth interstices elevated, the 

 fourth very conspicuously so about summit of apical slope. 

 Claws free throughout. Length, 8 mm. 



llah. — Queensland: Coen River (W. D. Dodd). Type 

 (unique), I. 5663. 



In general appearance strikingly close to the preceding 

 species, but with claws quite free and shoulders non-tubercu- 

 late. The scape is almost as long as the funicle, a character 

 which will readily distinguish it from ptdlatus, in which it 

 is no longer than the three basal joints of same. In macu- 

 losus the scape, although longer than on pullatus, is distinctly 

 shorter than the funicle ; that species also differs in having no 

 joints of the funicle transverse, thinner and differently- 

 sculptured rostrum, and prothorax with much smaller 

 punctures. The clothing, as with other species of the genus, 

 is probably variable ; on the type the lower parts and legs are 

 mostly clothed with paler scales, on the upper parts the 

 scales are mostly of a rather dark-brown, becoming almost 

 black in places, but on the elevated parts rather conspicuously 

 variegated. The setae on the antennae and legs are dense 

 and very distinct, but on the upper parts they are much 

 sparser, stouter, and closely resemble the scales amongst 

 which they are placed. 



Onesorus ocularis, n. sp. 



Black, in parts more or less obscurely diluted with red, 

 appendages almost entirely reddish. Densely clothed. 



Head wide and gently convex between eyes ; these very 

 conspicuous. Rostrum wide, upper-surface flat and non- 

 carinate, with a narrow median oroove vaguely traceable on 

 to front of head ; sublateral sulci entirely absent ; scrobes 

 short, rather abruptly terminated. Scape about as long as
