The type of sepidioides is a muddy and abraded female of 

 the same species, with broken legs and antennae. Its prothorax 

 has an obtuse ridge with large granules on each side of the base, 

 and there are three small conical tubercles on each side of the 

 apical half and obliquely placed , one at the apex , one at the 

 middle and one half-way between. Macleay described its pro- 

 thorax as "transversim biimpresso". The prothorax, however, 

 has but the normal apical constriction ; although a gap between 

 the median tubercle , and the granulated ridge on each side of 

 the base, causes an appearance as of a second impression. 



A specimen belonging to the Society is labelled Queensland, 

 almost certainly in error.

Black. Appendages more or less red. Densely covered with 

 light brown or fawn coloured scales, more or less feebly variegated. 

 With numerous straw coloured setae scattered about. 



Head with small and dense , but normally quite concealed 

 punctures. Rostrum comparatively thin , almost the length of 

 prothorax, with a very feeble and normally quite concealed median 

 carina. Antennae moderately long ; first Joint of funicle just per- 

 ceptibly longer than second, second distinctly longer than third, 

 none of the others transverse. Prothorax lightly transverse, sides 

 evenly rounded , apex scarcely visibly incurved to middle ; with 

 a feeble median line ; with numerous small , feeble , normally 

 almost concealed granules. Scutellum very indistinct. Elytra 

 subovate, in male very little wider than middle of prothorax, in 

 female about once and one half the width ; with series of rather 

 large punctures in male, considerably smaller in female ; alternate 

 interstices raised, third to sixth sinuous about the middle, third 

 and fifth subtuberculate about sinuation, fourth with a moderately 

 distinct tubercle there. Second segment of abdomen much shorter 

 than first or fifth, and about two-thirds the length of the third 

 and fourth combined. Front tibiae lightly denticulate below. 

 Length ö^/g — 7^2 i^ni.

 Museum), Gippsland (C. French). 



The female differs from the male in being larger ; the elytra 

 wider, with smaller punctures and less noticeable tuberosities ; 

 and with shorter legs.

 to M. Blackburn) in having the third and fifth interstices distinctly
