narrowing to near apex, at the base wider than deep, becoming 
deeper than wide at posterior coxse; each elytron with a row of 
about ten small shining tubercles close to suture, the second 
interstice bearing the largest tubercle, irregularly shaped, close 
to the base and equidistant from suture, behind it there are a 
number of irregular, obsolete setose tubercles, forming a slightly 
elevated costa which terminates at more than a third from the 
apex. Legs long; tibise flattened and spurred at apex, a few setie 
on the other side causing them to appear bispinose; basal joint of 
tarsi elongate, grooved beneath. Length 11 (rostr. excl.), width 
A\ mm. 
Q. Differs in having the rostrum smooth, narrow, without 
scales or setre, and almost impunctate, tibue shorter, (fee. 
ffab. — North Queensland, Barron Falls (Mr. A. Koebele); 
Cairns (Mr. W. W. Froggatt). 
This species is much the form and size of G. Doubledayi, from 
which it may be readily distinguished by its somewhat broader 
form, nontuberculate and feebly carinated prothorax, the elytra 
with almost obsolete tubercles, shorter legs, differently coloured 
scales, &c. Both the gentlemen named obtained numerous 
specimens. 
Tychreus fasciculatus, n.sp. 
Short, ovate, convex. Black; beneath piceous-black, claws 
reddish. Above, and the legs, densely covered with ashen — 
intermingled with brown — scales, which completely cover the 
shining derm, except the basal half of the pro thoracic median 
line; on the undersurface the scales are sparse. Rostrum densely 
covered with elongate punctures; elytra striate-punctate, the 
punctures large but almost hidden; meso- and metasternum 
coarsely and densely punctate at the sides, sparsely punctate in 
the middle; abdominal segments with strong, elongate and rather 
sparse punctures; legs densely and minutely — the coxse mere 
strongly — punctate. 
Prothorax trisinuate; the scales at the side of the median line 
with a reddish tint, a pale, oblique, rather indistinct line
