1446 FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
compresso instructo ; protborace foi’titer transverse, in medio disci 
late impresso, rude vermiculato-rugoso ; scutello vix manifesto ; 
elytris protborace fere duplo latiori, suturam versus obscure 
(marginem lateralem versus crasse profunde) seriatim punctulatis, 
singulatim tricostatis (costa interna postice tuberculis rotundatis 
consistente, externis subtuberculatis), bumeris obliquis valde 
spinosLs. [Long. 4^-5^, lat. 2|-2|^ lines. 
Abraded specimens appear to be entirely black. The lateral 
margins of the upper surface of the rostrum are thickened and 
convex, so that the rostrum might almost be considered tri. 
carinate ; it is the upper apex of these lateral ridges of the 
rostrum which is raised into a compressed rounded tubercle 
immediately within each eye. The frontal furrow is concealed 
beneath squamosity in fresh specimens. The prothorax is nearly 
twice as wude as long down the middle ; its sides diverge from the 
apex to near the middle, and then are almost straight to the base, 
and (owing to the extremely coarse vermiculate sculpture of the 
whole upper surface of the segment), they appear subtuberculate 
when viewed from above. The distinctness of the tuberculation 
of the elytral costse varies, but I have not seen any example in 
which more than the costa nearest the suture (and that only in its 
hinder part) is distinctly broken into well-defined tubercles. The 
shoulders resemble those of a Catasarev^. The third joint of the 
tai-si is very little wider than the second. The second ventral seg- 
ment is equal to the following two together. 
A very aberrant species of Lejjtops, but I can find no structural 
character of generic importance to separate it.
