conspicuously variegated with black spots. Elytral setae dis- 

 tinct only from the sides. 



Head feebly convex at base, flat, and with a small fovea 

 between eyes; these rather large and prominent. Rostrum 

 slightly longer than wide, sides gently incurved to middle ; 

 carinas traceable, but not sharply denned. Antennae long and 

 thin; scape distinctly curved; first joint of funicle slightly 

 longer than second and third combined, and second than third 

 and fourth combined. Prothorax slightly longer than wide, 

 sides strongly rounded in middle, and rather deeply con- 

 stricted between same and base and apex, apex straight, as 

 wide as base ; punctures traceable. Elytra much wider than 

 prothorax, sides feebly dilated to beyond the middle; 

 striation distinct but punctures almost or quite concealed. 

 Legs rather long; femora lightly but distinctly dentate. 

 Length, 4 J mm. 



Hab. — Northern Territory: Tennant Creek (J. F. 

 Field). Type, I. 2556. 



A small green species, but readily distinguished from 

 the other small green ones by its long prothorax, which is 

 strongly bisinuate both at the sides and base. The appendages 

 are also rather longer than is usual. The dark spots on the 

 elytra of the type are more or less transversely placed and 

 conjoined towards the base, but they are entirely absent from 

 the sides and posterior declivity. 



Myllocerus angustibasis, n. sp. 



Black, appendages (parts of femora excepted) more or 

 less reddish. Densely clothed with greenish scales, on the 

 elytra mottled with brown. Elytra with a few setae at the 

 sides and posteriorly, but scarcely traceable elsewhere. 



Head flat between eyes; these rather large and pro- 

 minent. Rostrum about as long as wide, flat along middle; 

 median and sublateral carinas narrow and distinct. Antennae 

 thin; first joint of funicle distinctly longer than second. 

 Prothorax moderately transverse, flat in middle, sides rather 

 strongly rounded, apex feebly incurved to middle and 

 slightly wider than base, narrowest part slightly in- 

 wards of fourth elytral stria; punctures almost concealed. 

 Elytra much wider than prothorax, sides feebly dilated to 

 beyond the middle; punctures appearing small through cloth- 

 ing. Prosternum with a narrow, acute, medio-basal ridge. 

 Femora edentate. Length, 4 J mm. 



Hah. — North-western Australia: Fortescue River (W. 

 D. Dodd). Type, I. 2557. 



In general appearance close to Proxyrodes maculatus, but 

 femora edentate. The sides of the prothorax are almost as
