The following genera belonging to the Australian Lebiini are 

 omitted from the table because they are unknown to me in nature 

 (with the exception of Eulebia [two species] they contain but one 

 species each) : — Lachnoderma, Eulehia, Idius, Ectinochila, Plagio- 

 telum, and Taromorpha. 



Cymindis is a genus which I do not think occurs in Australia; 

 C. cenea, Macl., is conspecific with Ayiomotarns olivaceus, Chaud.; 

 C. illatvarrce, Macl., is a very closely allied species, the distinct- 

 ness of which appeared to me, when examining the types, doubtful, 

 but which Mr. Masters regards as a good species. I should 

 expect the third species, C. cravsicepa, Macl., to prove a species 

 of Taromorpha. 



■Demetrius, as exemplified by the Australian species referred to 

 it, I cannot differentiate from Xanthophoia. 



Perigona is not a Lebiid; it has been referred to the Platynini 

 by Dr. G. H. Horn. 



Catascopics is a genus I have not investigated, and on the 

 position of which I have nothing to say. 



Plochionus humeraHs, Macl., and P. semivittatus, Macl., are both 

 dealt with further on. 



Genus Xanthophcea.

106. X. elongata, n.sp. 



Narrow, elongate, depressed; head narrow, elongate; pro thorax 

 of equal length and breadth, sides strongly sinuate posteriorly, 

 basal angles reflexed and sharply rectangular ; elytra twice as 

 wide as prothorax, a little narrower towards base, squarely trun- 

 cate at apex, strongly striate, interstices hardly convex, glabrous, 

 minutely punctate, third tripunctate (sometimes bipunctate). 

 Testaceous; prothorax with a piceous longitudinal plaga on each 

 side of disc; elytra with three piceous black vittaj and often 

 infuscate behind peduncle; antennte ferruginous, basal joint pallid; 

 (sutural vitta occupying first interstice of each elytron on basal 

 third and spreading over second posteriorly; lateral vittse extend- 

 ing nearer to apex than sutural one, occupying sixth, se^'enth and
