Chasoke n. gen 
This genus cannot be placed near any of the genera of Tyrini from 
Australia and New Zealand, or indeed near any of the Ethiopian or 
Neotropical genera discussed and figured by Jeannel (1959, 1962). 
The offset insertion of the last segment of the maxillary palpus (Fig. 
24), and large narrow apical flagellomeres (Fig. 23) are suggestive of 
some members of the Ctenistini. However, it lacks any evidence of 
lateral spines or setaceous projections on the maxillary palpi, and 
also lacks squamous pubescence except in the vertexal foveae. Cha- 
soke is readily recognizable in the Australian fauna by the form of 
the maxillary palpi, pronotum with an antebasal transverse sulcus, 
and the pubescent vertexal foveae adjacent to the eyes. 
Type species, Chasoke victoriae, n. gen., n. sp. Gender, masculine. 
Chasoke n. gen. is characterized by: Antennae with long narrow 
club of 3 flagellomeres, maxillary palpi pedunculate basally, third 
and fourth segments bowed medially, large pubescent vertexal 
foveae adjacent to large eyes, small nude fovea at base of antennal 
tubercle, single gular fovea; pronotum with antebasal transverse 
sulcus, medial and lateral foveae in sulcus, procoxal foveae present; 
elytra with two basal foveae, discal stria extending through two- 
thirds of elytral length; median mesosternal fovea forked with forks 
widely separated at base, lateral mesosternal foveae forked medially 
and anteriorly, mesocoxal foveae present, single metasternal fovea; 
tergites I-IV subequal in length, I-III with three baso-lateral foveae, 
posterior lateral foveae quite small on II-III, IV with two baso- 
lateral foveae, V with single lateral fovea, I and II with pair of 
opposing teeth extending over medial baso-lateral foveae at end of 
basal impression; sternites II-V with large medio-lateral foveae, III- 
V with small baso-lateral foveae at margin, II with large globular 
invagination connected to margin by sulcus, III with small sulcus 
extending from margin and curved anteriorly; aedeagus with elon- 
gate symmetrical parameres. 
Chasoke victoriae n. gen., n. sp. 
(Figs. 23-25) 
Length 1.72-2.25. Males with flagellomeres VII-IX narrow and 
elongate, VII and VIII about four times as long as wide; abdominal 
apex narrowly rounded, tergite V pointed apically, sternites II-VI 
lightly flattened medially; protrochanters with ventral knob, pro- 
femora with two widely spaced ventral knobs in basal half.
