vitta on each side. The elytral setae are so placed amongst 

 the scales that they are scarcely traceable, except at the sides 

 and posteriorly. 



Myllocerus minusculus, n. sp. 



Black or blackish, appendages reddish. Densely clothed 

 with whitish scales, on the elytra feebly variegated with 

 brownish spots. 



Head feebly convex at base, gently depressed between 

 eyes. Eyes rather large, prominent, and widely separated, 

 but the space between them less than length of prothorax. 

 Rostrum slightly longer than wide, sides gently incurved to 

 middle, gently depressed along middle to between eyes ; 

 median carina not traceable through clothing, the others very 

 feeble. Antennas moderately long and thin; two basal-joints 

 of funicle subequal. Prothorax almost as long as wide, sides 

 feebly rounded in middle, apex almost straight and almost as 

 wide as base; punctures partially traceable. Elytra much 

 wider than prothorax, with rows of moderate punctures, 

 appearing scarcely more than striae through clothing. Femora 

 scarcely visibly dentate. Length, 3^-3^ mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Gayndah (A. M. Lea). Type, 

 I. 2554. 



A small grey species, much like several species of 

 Titinia; but as the prothorax is decidedly bisinuate at the 

 base it appears desirable to refer it to Myllocerus. Of the two 

 specimens in the Museum one has a feeble dark vitta on each 

 side of the prothorax, but the other is without same. 



Myllocerus varius, n. sp. 



Black, appendages more or less red. Densely clothed 

 with white or whitish scales, more or less conspicuously 

 mottled with black or dark-brown. Elytra with numerous 

 blackish, suberect setae. 



Head flat between eyes; these not very prominent, the 

 space between them distinctly shorter than length of pro- 

 thorax. Rostrum slightly longer than wide, sides decreasing 

 in width to apical third, and then gently inflated ; median 

 and sublateral carinae distinct, the latter less widely separated 

 on their posterior half than usual. Antennae long and thin; 

 scape distinctly curved; first joint of funicle distinctly longer 

 than second. Prothorax not much wider than long, sides 

 gently rounded, apex feebly incurved to middle, or almost 

 straight, almost the width of base, punctures traceable. 

 Elytra much wider than prothorax, feebly dilated to beyond 

 the middle ; punctures normally almost or quite concealed, 

 but striation distinct. Femora, edentate. Length, 4-5 mm.
