NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
I have a specimen from Cootamundra, which is a little shorter 
and narrower, and which has the elytra densely covered with 
small, round, griseous-brown scales. 
Glochinorrhinus evanidus, n. sp. 
Thick, opaque, rounded in front and behind. Black; pro- 
thorax with a narrow margin anteriorly and the antenna 1 , piceous- 
red. Above covered with small ashen scales, densest and palest 
on rostrum; on the sterna the scales are more distinct and paler, 
they are densest and elongate behind the prosternal canal; on the 
abdominal segments there are short, round and elongate, paler 
scales, densest on the basal and apical, and forming three lines on 
the intermediates; legs — especially tibiae — densely scaly. Head 
with short dark seta?, becoming setose hairs on rostrum; prothorax 
setose, the settle short and dark on the disk, pale and elongate at 
the sides; elytra sparsely setose. Densely and very minutely 
punctate all over; apex of rostrum coarsely and densely punctate, 
undersurface more sparingly and feebly; prothorax at sides with 
rather large shallow punctures, elytra seriate-punctate, punctures 
large and round, deepest at the sides. 
Head with a shallow fovea between eyes; antenn-e short, sub- 
shining; rostrum subparallel, slightly widest at apex, minutely 
granulate, obtusely carinate from the base to between bases of 
antennae, the sides slightly in front of the middle with a strong 
recurved spine, behind that a shorter curved spine, behind that 
again there are a number of small tubercles, there is also a 
tubercle in the middle immediately in front of eyes; undersurface 
highly polished, obtusely carinate down the middle, impressed 
towards the sides at base, a short tubercle behind the antennal 
scrobes. Prothorax slightly longer than wide, and wider than 
deep, base narrowly margined, the middle produced, the sides 
behind the eyes broadly emarginate, much narrower in front than 
the middle or behind; median line feebly marked till near the apex, 
where there is a short shining carina. Scutellum short, rounded, 
transverse. Elytra at base scarcely as wide as prothorax at its 
widest, and about once and a third as long; gradually
