Head moderately long, gently convex between eyes, a 

 rather large shallow depression in front; with fairly distinct 

 but irregularly distributed punctures, base transversely 

 strigose. Antennae rather long, third to tenth joints strongly 

 serrated, eleventh distinctly longer than tenth. Protkorax 

 distinctly longer than wide, sides from near apex narrowed to 

 base, a wide shallow depression near base ; punctures sparsely 

 distributed. Elytra more than twice the length of prothorax; 

 with dense, small, and mostly rugulose punctures. Basal 

 joint of front tarsi lopsided, with a narrow, black, inner comb. 

 Length, 6 mm. 



Hah. — Northern Queensland (Blackburn's collection). 

 Type, I. 11952. 



The dark blotch on the elytra is sharply defined, it com- 

 mences on each elytron at the basal third, from the suture 

 it is directed obliquely towards the shoulder for a short dis- 

 tance, is then directed backwards to slightly beyond the 

 middle, and from there straight to the side, the derm thence 

 being entirely dark. At first glance it looks like some of the 

 varieties of G. longus, but the antennae are strongly serrated ; 

 the male of C . elegans has the basal joint of the front tarsi 

 more than twice as long as in this species, abdomen tipped 

 with black, etc. 



A female, from Cairns (A. M. Lea), that possibly belongs 

 to this species, differs from the type in having the head 

 smaller, with two feeble depressions in front, antennae shorter, 

 thinner, feebly serrated and entirely pale, elytra with the 

 dark portion more diffused, and covering rather more than 

 the apical half as an infuscation, with more sharply defined 

 punctures, and legs shorter, with front tarsi combless. 



Carphurus macrops, n. sp. 



(S . Flavous ; five apical joints of antennae, apical half 

 of elytra, and most of abdomen infuseated. With straggling, 

 dark hairs, and sparse, ashen pubescence. 



Head gently convex between eyes, a feeble depression 

 each side in front; with rather sparse punctures, becoming 

 denser behind eyes, but base transversely confluent. Eyes 

 large and prominent. . Antennae rather long, third to tenth 

 joints strongly serrated, eleventh about once and one-half the 

 length of tenth. Prothorax longer than wide, sides diminish- 

 ing from near apex to base, a wide shallow depression near 

 base; a few punctures scattered about. Elytra scarcely twice 

 the length of prothorax; with dense and small, but fairly 

 sharply defined punctures. Basal joint of front tarsi with a 

 narrow, black, inner comb, from base to apex. Length 

 (o% 9), 4-4*5 mm.
