moderately large fascicle on each shoulder. On several specimens 

 the prothoracic scales are reddish-ochreous; others have two dark 

 transverse patches on elytra, one near middle and one near apex. 

 One large and handsome specimen has the scales on the upper 

 surface white, or feebly tinged with brown, except the prothoracic 

 patch, a patch on the elytra behind it, a transverse oblique stripe 

 about middle, and a feeble patch just below summit of posterior 

 declivity. On this specimen there are two distinct white fascicles 

 on each side of prothorax, two which are slightly darker at apex, 

 and two others which are almost black in the middle; the third 

 interstice has six fascicles, a long one near base separated from 

 the second some distance, the other five at equal distances behind 

 each other, with the sixth at summit of posterior declivity; the 

 fifth interstice has six fascicles similar to those of the third, except 

 that the basal one is smaller and paler. 



This species is noted in the Catalogue (with a query) as coming 

 from New South" Wales. Boheman records it from the Swan 

 River. I have never seen specimens from New South Wales, and 

 do not believe that it occurs there. 



Ch^etectetorus latus Pasc; I.e. 5511. 



Densely covered with dark mouse-coloured or muddy-brown 

 scales, more uniform and paler on under than on upper surface. 

 Upper surface with elongate darker scales, irregularly distributed, 

 and forming more or less regular fascicles; prothorax with six 

 moderately distinct ones — two at apex and two on each side, a 

 few smaller ones about disc. Elytra with alternate interstices 

 fasciculate, the 3rd with more fascicles than 7th and less than 5th, 

 shoulders and apex subfasciculate, the latter appearing feebly 

 emarginate, posterior declivity not or very feebly fasciculate, 

 white scales forming an oblique, slightly curved stripe (frequently 

 indistinct and occasionally absent) from shoulders to suture; a 

 white transverse stripe near summit of posterior declivity, 

 usually more distinct in middle than towards sides, sometimes 

 entirely absent. Head and base of rostrum with scales irregular
