and a less distinct transverse one, dense on the scutellum, 

 and margining each of the postmedian spots. 



Head strongly constricted behind eyes, and strongly 

 impressed between same. Prothorax almost as long as the 

 width at base, regularly decreasing in width from base to 

 apex; with large punctures, each containing a scale. Elytra 

 much wider than prothorax, with regular rows of large, 

 round, deep punctures, fourth interstice with an elongated 

 tubercle near base, and a tubercle on each shoulder. Tibice 

 each with three or four strong black teeth. Length, 5-5^ mm. 



Hab. — Western Australia: Ankertell, Cue (H. W. 

 Brown). Type, I. 2721. 



A beautiful and very distinct species. The four large, 

 eye-like spots on the elytra are in a transverse series. 



Syarbus eucalypti, n. sp. 



Of a rather pale reddish-cast aneous. With numerous 

 erect fascicles of stramineous or rusty scales, the interspaces 

 with numerous erect scales; under-surface with paler scales. 



Head strongly constricted behind eyes, and strongly 

 impressed between same. Eyes reniform. Prothorax moder- 

 ately transverse, base much wider than apex; with dense,, 

 round, and rather large, partially concealed punctures. 

 Elytra considerably wider than prothorax ; with regular rows 

 of large, round, deep punctures, subtuberculate beneath 

 many of the fascicles. Tibice each with a strong apical tooth 

 and some smaller ones. Length, 5^-6 mm. 



Hab. — Northern Territory : Alexandria. Type in British 

 Museum. 



Allied to fascicvl atissimus, but with many more fascicles 

 on prothorax and elytra. On that species the elytral fascicles 

 are fairly large, with the interspaces glabrous or at most 

 sparsely clothed. On the present species there are numerous 

 small fascicles between the larger ones, both on the prothorax 

 and elytra, and the interspaces are clothed with rather 

 numerous erect setae. Over all there is a brick-coloured dust, 

 which, however, is easily removed by water or alcohol. The 

 fourth interstice on each elytron about the middle has an 

 elongated black spot, but it is normally almost or quite con- 

 cealed. The five typical specimens were all labelled as having- 

 been taken on young shoots of Desert Box by W. Stalker.

This genus was originally referred to the Cryptorhyn-
