 elytris pallide marginatis ; pubescens ; capite prothoraceque 

 sat fortiter granulatis ; hoc a basi ad apicem angustato, 

 lateribus fere rectis, angulis posticis extrorsum (nullo modo 

 retrorsum) direotis, basi media sat fortiter lobata ; scutello 

 oblongo-quadrato, postice rotundato ; elytris minus fortiter

Maris antennarum articulo 3° quanj 2"" duplo longiori et ramum

At once distinguishable from the previously described Aus- 

 tralian species of this genus by its extremely small size. 



Everard Range. 



CURCULIONID.tE (coutimied). 

 Cylindroriiinini. 



PA>fT0Pa3US. 



An immature and somewhat crushed specimen seems to apper- 

 tain to this genus, but its condition forbids its specific determina- 

 tion. It was found about the Barrow Range. 



GONIPTERINI. 

 OXYOPS.

 Mount Squires. 

 0. floreus, Pasc 1 A similar difficulty forbids my feeling certain

S. gonipteroides, Pascoe. Mount Squires. 

 S. sciurus, Pascoe. Mount Squires.

 very much over characterised, even the relative length of the 

 joints of the funiculus being treated as generic. In this and
