 segment of abdomen gently convex, and median tooth of 

 front tibiae more obtuse. 



Hah. — Queensland: Kuranda (H. W. Brown). 



From the same locality as parviccps, but prothorax, 

 elytra, tibiae, etc., different. In general appearance is close 

 to fuliginosus, but the elytral sculpture and clothing very 

 different. From suhfasciculatus, to which it is perhaps closer, 

 it differs in the curiously curved clothing of the third inter- 

 stice; the front tibiae are also somewhat different. The sooty 

 scales are rather sparsely distributed on the upper-surface, 

 but they form a conspicuous fascicle on each elytron on the 

 second interstice at summit of the posterior declivity. On 

 each elytron also the rusty scales form a conspicuous and 

 slightly but distinctly curved line mostly on the third inter- 

 stice, but commencing at the base of the second row of punc- 

 tures and ending on the second interstice behind the sooty 

 fascicle. On the prothorax also some of the scales appear to 

 be in feeble lines. On both prothorax and elytra there are 

 a few feeble spots of scales that are ochreous or almost 

 stramineous in colour. The concealed base of the head is 

 nude and densely covered with small punctures. About the 

 apex of the prothorax there is a rather wide shallow impres- 

 sion, appearing double on account of the median carina. The 

 elytral punctures are very large, and each is so impressed 

 that it appears to slope down from apex to base, and the latter 

 to be cavernous, the space between each is shorter than the 

 punctures themselves, so that from some directions these 

 appear to be separated by rows of obtuse granules. 



PSEUDOMYDAUS TENUIS, Lea. 



A specimen from Illawarra differs from the type in being 

 smaller (4f mm.) and with the oblique subapical fascia com- 

 posed of reddish instead of whitish scales. Its hind legs are 

 drawn forwards so that portions (normally concealed) of the 

 coxse are exposed, and seen to be densely clothed with ochreous 

 scales. 



Anoplocis, n. g. 



Head small but not concealed from above ; forehead 

 quadrisinuate. Eyes rather small, coarsely faceted, widely 

 separated. Rostrum rather long and thin. Antennae rather 

 stout; scape shorter than funicle, inserted about middle of 

 rostrum; two basal joints of funicle moderately long; club 

 subovate, sutures oblique. Prothorax about as long as wide, 

 sides rounded, base strongly bisinuate. Scutellum indistinct
