At once distinguishable from all the hitherto described Aus- 
tralian species of the genus by the conspicuous and well-defined 
elytral fascise formed of white scales.

Piceus, squamis adpressis pallide viridibus (nonnullis piceis 
intermixtis) confertim vestitus ; rostro brevi lato ; antennarum 
funiculi articulo basali secundo parum longiori ; prothorace antice 
vix angustato, quam longiori dimidio latiori ; femoifibus omnibus 
Dubtus dentatis. [Pong. 2| lines. 
The uniformity and pale dead green colour of the scales on this 
insect (the intermixture of pitchy scales is noticeable only under 
a strong lens), together with its short broad rostrum, prothorax 
scarcely narrowed in front, and basal joint of funicle a little 
longer than the second, will distinguish this species from all its 
previously described Australian congeners.

Piceo-niger, elytris squamis fulvis albidis piceisque (maculatim 
et vittatim congestis) dense vestitis ; rostro in medio acute carinato, 
vertice longitudinaliter subtiliter impresso ; prothorace crassissime 
rugoso ; corpore subtus pedibusque dense griseo-squamosis, his 
setis griseis vestitis. [Pong, (rostr. incl.) 6-8, lat. 21-3 lines. 
In both the examples before me the head and prothorax are 
devoid of scale.s, possibly owing to abrasion, but the specimens 
appear to be very fresh in other respects. The lattex’, at its 
widest is very little more than half as wide as the widest part of 
the elytra ; it is slightly wider than down the middle it is long, its 
base truncate, its front margin rather strongly bisinuate. The 
elytra are punctulate-striate, the punctures in the striie rather
