being smaller (15-17 mm. excluding the rostrum), and more 

 or less densely clothed all over with muddy-brown or mouse- 

 coloured scales. In the male the prothorax is more, and in 

 the female less, rugose than in the typical form. 



II ah. — Tasmania: Mole Creek (Aug. Simson), New Nor- 

 folk, Hobart (A. M. Lea). 



SUBFAMILY OTIORRYNCHIDES. 



Myllocekus multimaculatus, n. sp. 



Black, parts of legs diluted with red. Densely clothed 

 with greyish scales; with three sooty stripes on the pro- 

 thorax, and numerous sooty spots on the elytra. Under- 

 surface, scutellum, and legs with white clothing. Upper- 

 surface with short and usually black, or blackish, recurved 

 setae. 



Head with a rather large but normally-concealed inter- 

 ocular fovea; sides, conjointly with sides of rostrum, regularly- 

 decreasing in width. Rostrum shorter than width of base; 

 each scrobe semicircularly encroaching on upper-surface. 

 Antennae long; scape stout, strongly curved, shallowly grooved 

 on lower surface ; first joint of funicle as long as second and 

 third combined. Prothorax feebly transverse, apex almost 

 truncate, base feebly bisinuate, and the width of apex, sides 

 lightly rounded; with numerous small, normally-concealed 

 punctures, and with some larger setiferous ones. Elytra 

 oblong-ovate, sides regularly increasing in width to beyond 

 the_ middle ; striate-punctate, punctures rather large, but 

 almost concealed ; interstices regularly convex, with numerous 

 small iioraially-concealed punctures. Femora minutely but 

 acutely dentate. Length, 4.J-5 mm. 



II. ab. — Queensland: Cunnamulla (H. ITardcastle). 



In size, sculpture, clothing, and general appearance very 

 close to trilineatus, but sides of prothorax a trifle more 

 rounded, and elytra with dark setae not so depressed, the 

 scutellum also is distinctly transverse, instead of slightly 

 longer than wide. 



The male differs from the female in being smaller and 

 thinner, with the scape stouter and the legs somewhat longer. 

 The elytra! spots are frequently conjoined, and have the 

 appearance of forming feeble zigzag fasciae. 



Myllocekus' foveifuons, n. sp. 



Reddish-brown, appendages somewhat paler. Densely 

 clothed with white scales, not quite so snowy on elytra as 

 elsewhere. Setae of upper-surface depressed, sparse, and in- 

 distinct.
