1444 FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
large, the interstices scarcely convex ; the whole surface is 
densely clothed with scales which form a sharply defined and 
intricate pattern. The base is narrowly (somewhat more widely 
about the scutellum), pitchy ; immediately behind it is a large 
transverse irregularly quadrate yellowish-fuscous patch common 
to both elytra and extending to the 6th stria on each (where it is 
at its narrowest) • this is continued somewhat narrowly down the 
suture and a little before the hinder declivity spreads out again 
on either side, and here attains the 4th stria ; the scales on the 
lateral portions (which are much compressed) of the elytra 
(except in the front part) are greyish in colour, and this tint is 
widely continued I’ound the apex ; the uiiddle portion of the 5th 
interstice is quite white. The elytra are much pointed at the 
apex, and the shoulders are laterally prominent in a subdentate 
fashion. In one example before me several of the elytral 
interstices are a little costiform, but in the other example this 
character is absent. 
The markings oia the elytra resemble those of a Stenocorynus, 
but the strongly cavernous corbels seem to associate this insect 
rather with Leptojys, from which I can discover no diflerence 
beyond the unusual character of the markings.

The rostrum is about the length of the prothorax and is much 
dilated at its apex, the surface of which bears on either side a 
thick arched keel or crest ; the tubercles between the eyes are 
about the same size as the largest of those on the front half of the 
elytra, and are strongly compressed and longitudinally arched ; a
