description: <i>Cnemoplites cephalotes</i> (Pascoe, 1864) (Figs. 6 E–H, 17A) <i>Mallodon cephalotes</i> Pascoe, 1864: 242. TL: Queensland. Holotype in BNHM (examined). <b> <i>Diagnosis</i>.</b> <i>C. cephalotes</i> can be separated to oth- er <i>Cnemoplites</i> species by the following characters: antennal scape much longer than other antennal segments; pronotum more or less squared, dorsum coarsely punctate without sexual punctures; legs strong and broad. Males can be recognised by the dense and long sexual setae on abdominal ventrites, setal area covering the whole ventrite (Fig. 6H); several small spines on ventral side of protibia. <b> <i>Description</i>.</b> Length 30–60 mm. <b>Male.</b> Antennae short, extending just beyond the elytral humeral angles. Antennal scape longer and thicker than antennomere 3. Pronotum completely covered with dense and coarse punctures; scutellum shiny and smooth. Elytra with coarse and irregular sculptures, without additional small granules. Abdominal sexual setae long and almost adpressed, the setal area almost covering the whole ventrite. Tarsomere 5 elongate, almost as long as tarsomeres 1–3 combined. <b>Female.</b> Mandibles less thick than in male. Pronotum with more or less smooth area medially; sexual setae on abdominal ventrites absent. <b> <i>Type</i>.</b> <i>Mallodon cephalotes</i> Pascoe, Holotype male deposited in BNHM (BNHM- 010799747), with following labels “ Mallodon cephalotes | Queensland | Pascoe Coll. 93-30 | Cnemoplites cephalotes Pasc ”. <i>Material examined</i> (Fig. 17A). <b>New South Wales: AM</b> (3 <b>&amp;male;&amp;male;</b>; 2 <b>&amp;female;&amp;female;</b>): 2: Wheeny Ck., N of Kurmond, Feb. 1992, M.S. and B.J.
