truncate in front and Ix-liind ; strongly and almost vertically 

 declivous to peduncle ; sides roundly dilatate, more shortly 

 rounded in front than behind ; disc rather depressed, slightly 

 convex transversely and longitudinally ; a strongly-impressed 

 line a little behind anterior margin (causing the anterior margin 

 to be completely girdled by a convex collar) ; median line very 

 lightly marked ; small separate unisetigerous granules rather 

 thickly placed all over disc, and on sides about half-way to cox»; 

 space between granulate portion and cox;b smooth. Elytra a little 

 wider than prothorax (8-5 x 5-5 mm.), oval, widest about middle; 

 base rounded with long oblique declivity to peduncle ; posterior 

 declivity abrupt ; disc rather depressed, lightly convex trans- 

 versely and longitudinally ; seven granulate interstices on each 

 elytron : granules of iirst interstice weak, of first and second not 

 extending to the posterior declivity, of other interstices becoming 

 stronger towards apex, those of fifth tuberculiform (about three) 

 at commencement of posterior declivity : granules closely and 

 regularly placed, separate not setigerous ; brownish cinereous 

 scales rather thinly dispersed all over the elytra. Under-surface 

 thinly sprinkled with pale seta; and scales ; first ventral segment 

 concave ; second lightly and broadly impressed in middle ; apical 

 segment with a very light median impression towards apex. 

 Legs long, light, covered (most thickly towards apex of femora 

 and on tibia;) with gray scales and setse ; anterior femora cylin- 

 drical, narrow and bent near base, thickened on apical-half ; 

 anterior tibia; strongly arched, inner edge serrate, the serrations 

 separate and granulate ; joints of tarsi squamulose on middle of 

 lower side. 



Length, 14 ; breadth, S-o mm. 



Female. — Compared with male. General form broader and 

 heavier. Head wider. Prothorax proportionately wider (3-75 x 

 4 '5 mm.) ; disc more depresssd ; sides less dilatate, a conspicuous 

 small conical granule on each side on anterior of collar; the pos- 

 terior declivity shorter and almost vertical to the peduncle. 

 Elytra much wider (9 x 6-25 mm.), more regularly convex; 

 posterior declivity more gently rounded, and less abrupt ; the 

 granules of the interstices more regular, and, though becoming 

 stronger backwards, yet none of them tuberculiform, those of 

 third and fifth interstices equally strong behind. Ventral seg- 

 ments not imjDressed. Anterior femora not bent near base. 



Length, 14-5 ; breadth, 6-25 mm. 



Habitat — Fraser Range (October 1891). 



Cubieorhynehus modestus, /'. v. 

 J'emale. — Oblong, convex ; prothorax strongly granulate ; 

 elytra striate, the interstices with setigerous granules anterior
