he the lifth) interstice is very feebly raised on its basal half, 

 and not at all posteriorly , the tenth is also very feebly raised ; 

 but the elevation of these interstices is much less noticeable than 

 on many other species. The apex of the elytra is not reddish, 

 and on the prothorax there is only one distinct transverse line. 

 The specimen is labelled "N. S. W." but at that time 

 Queensland was not separated from N. S. Wales, and it probably 

 was from Queensland, as there is a specimen of it in my own 

 collection from Cairns , and two from Queensland belonging to 

 the Society. The two latter specimens have the tenth interstice 

 quite regularly striped to about the apical fourth , whilst in the 

 type the stripe is slightly interrupted in parts. 



Onesorus conifer n. sp. 



Black. Densely clothed with whitish scales and setae. 



Head with more or less concealed punctures : inter-ocular 

 fovea wide and shallow , but with a small central pit. Eyes 

 ovate, strongly convex, finely faceted. Rostrum not much shorter 

 than prothorax, feebly decreasing in width to near apex, and then 

 rather strongly inflated, with dense but mostly concealed punctures 

 and with a fine but usually concealed carina. Scape almost the 

 length of funicle, the latter with first Joint slightly longer than 

 third , but slightly shorter than second. Prothorax moderately 

 transverse, sides strongly rounded, base wider than apex, ocular 

 lobes distinct ; somewhat vermiculate , or with large irregulär 

 punctures ; with a feeble median carina , and a rather shallow 

 apical depression. Scutellum distinct. Elytra not much longer 

 than wide (9 X l^j^ mm), at its widest fully twice the width of 

 prothorax, sides strongly rounded ; suture, third, fifth and seventh 

 interstices distinctly raised ; with regulär rows of large, partially 

 concealed punctures ; Shoulders tuberculate. Tibiae rather long, 

 apparently not denticulate below. Length (excluding rostrum) 

 10 — 14 mm.

 (R. Helms) ; Queensland (Entomological Society of Berlin). 



One specimen has the elytra of a blackish brown , whilst 

 another is almost entirely dark brown , but in four others the 

 derm is entirely black. On the under surface and legs the setae 

 are thickly interspersed amongst the scales, but both are regulär. 

 On the prothorax there is a dense line of scales and setae on 

 each side of middle (the lines continued on to the head) , and 

 a somewhat similar line on each side ; the interspaces are sparsely 

 clothed and in consequence there appear to be three very distinct 

 dark lines. On the elytra the scales are fairly dense , but the
