 the length of prothorax; apparently very irregularly punctate; 

 disc raised beneath fascicles. Under surface finely punctate.

Hah. — New South Wales. 



The clothing is so dense as to entirely conceal the colour and 

 punctures, and has a loose woolly appearance. The sides of the 

 elytra appear to be slightly incurved to the middle (the scales 

 there being darker), but this appearance is caused by larger 

 scales near the base and about the apical third. 



Ephrycinus, n.g. 



Head small, partially concealed. Eyes small, rather finely 

 faceted, distant. Rostrum curved, moderately thin, slightly 

 shorter than prothorax, parallel-sided. Scape inserted about- 

 middle of rostrum, stout, shorter than funicle; basal joint of 

 funicle elongate; club ovate. Prothorax feebly convex, not 

 longitudinally sulcate, apex tubular but more than half the width 

 of base, base truncate. Scutellum moderately distinct. Elytra 

 feebly convex, slightly wider than prothorax, sides subparallel to 

 near apex, posterior declivity gently rounded. Pectoral canal 

 deep and wide, terminated between four anterior coxae. Meso- 

 sternal receptacle rather large, raised in front, emargination 

 strongly transverse; cavernous. Metasternum flat, considerably 

 longer than basal segment of abdomen; episterna distinct. 

 Sutures of abdomen distinct, 1st segment once and one-half the 

 length of 2nd, 2nd slightly longer than 3rd, 3rd noticeably longer 

 than 4th and but slightly shorter than 5th. Legs moderately 

 short; femora stout, edentate, not grooved, posterior extending to 

 apical segment; tibiae feebly compressed, feebly bisinuate beneath;.
