718 REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURCULIONID^, IX., 



both in size and colour. Legs with irregular scales, forming white 

 and brown (or black) rings on femora and tibia?, more distinct on 

 tibia? than on femora, sometimes obscure on both. 



Rostrum moderately long (longer in Q than in <£); punctures on 

 basal half concealed in <J, on basal third in Q. Scape inserted 

 about one-third from apex of rostrum in £ and passing apex, in 

 9 not extending to apex; two basal joints of funicle elongate, 1st 

 distinctly longer than 2nd. Prothorax slightly transverse, the 

 apical fascicle causing it to appear slightly longer than wide, 

 depressed near sides; an irregular depressed space in middle 

 bounded on each side near its apices by a small tubercle (usually 

 fasciculate), and with a feeble carina in its middle. Scutellum 

 raised, round. Elytra parallel-sided to near apex, distinctly wider 

 than prothorax, shoulders prominent; striate-punctate, punctures 

 large, but almost concealed, alternate interstices raised and 

 apparently granulate. Length 7 (vix), rostrum If; width 3J mm. 



Hab. — New South Wales, Victoria. Widely distributed and 

 common in hilly districts. 



This species resembles the preceding in form and size and 

 varies in a similar way, though not to such an extent as regards 

 size. It may be distinguished by its greater breadth, darker 

 colour, and more regular fascicles. A specimen from Orange has 

 the prothorax apparently broader than usual, but this is in con- 

 sequence of the apical fascicles being smaller and denser. 



Ch^etecteotrus setosus Bohem.; I.e. 5512. 



Densely and uniformly clothed with greyish-brown or muddy- 

 brown scales. Upper surface with elongate scales bordering the 

 prothorax and forming an elongate fascicle on each side in 

 middle. Elytra with 3rd, 5th and 7th interstices fasciculate. 

 Legs not ringed. 



Rostrum and scape as in C. latus. Prothorax longer than 

 wide, apex rounded, middle slightly convex, not carinate, a 

 tubercle on each side of middle, near sides longitudinally depressed, 

 sides reflexed. Scutellum small, suboblong. Elytra almost thrice 

 the length of prothorax, shoulders prominent; alternate interstices
