is covered by the black scales; these being condensed into 

 numerous irregular, transverse, black fasciae, all (or most) of 

 which are more or less irregularly conjoined. On the pro- 

 thorax the setae are rather more distinct than usual, but they 

 are inclined forwards, and so much less conspicuous than those 

 on the elytra. . On each side of the muzzle there is usually 

 a thin fascicle of flavous setae, appearing at first glance like 

 a stiff bristle. The rostrum is unusually short, being shorter 

 than the length of an eye, and it is distinctly narrowed from 

 base to apex. The apical plate is also of unusual shape, being 

 very narrow and vertical in front, and posteriorly elevated 

 into a small horn, that is very conspicuous from the sides. 

 The scrobes are short and round, almost meet internally, and 

 almost touch the eyes posteriorly. 



Myllocerus longus, n. sp. 



Black, appendages more or less reddish. Densely clothed 

 with bright-green scales. Elytral setae mostly confined to a 

 single row on each interstice, and not elevated above the 

 scales. 



Head gently convex; eyes very prominent. Rostrum 

 longer than wide, median carina distinct in front. Antennae 

 long and thin ; first joint of funicle once and one-half as long 

 as second, second almost twice the length of third. Pro the rax 

 almost as long as wide, apex straight, sides gently sinuous, 

 base distinctly wider than apex ; with rather dense and coarse 

 punctures. Elytra distinctly wider than prothorax; with 

 regular rows of moderate punctures, appearing small through 

 clothing. Legs rather long and thin; front tibiae not denticu- 

 late. Length, 7 mm. 



Hah. — Northern Territory: Tennant Creek (J. F. Field). 

 Type, I. 2548. 



A bright-green species, with unusually long rostrum and 

 legs, and conspicuous prothoracie punctures. The head behind 

 the eyes is very little wider than the rostrum in front of 

 them. The sides of the rostrum are not incurved between 

 the base and subapical inflation, as in most species of the 

 genus, but are slightly dilated, so that they are feebly 

 bisinuate. The apical plate is also shorter than usual. The 

 four front femora appear to be truly edentate, but the hind 

 ones from certain directions appear to each have a scarcely 

 visible tooth. 



Myllocerus doddi, n. sp. 



Black, legs in places obscurely diluted with red. Densely 

 clothed with green scales; elytra with fairly numerous black 

 spots. Elytra with moderately long erect setae, much shorter 

 on prothorax, but still in places suberect.
