tate, the latter finely, the former moderately strongly. Legs very 

 long; posterior femora bidentate; 1st joint of anterior tarsi curved 

 and about two-fifths the length of tibiaB. Length 9, rostrum 6^, 

 anterior legs 17; width 3| mm. 



5. Difiers in being smaller, clothing more obscure, rostrum and 

 legs shorter, posterior femora longer than anterior, 1st joint of 

 anterior tarsi finely setose beneath, pectoral spines absent and the 

 elytra slightly wider than prothorax. Length 7, rostrum 2|, 

 anterior legs 8; width 3 mm.

Differs from tipiilaris, Pascoe, in having only two teeth to the 

 posterior femora, pectoral spines longer and projecting beyond 

 prothorax, much longer rostrum and different clothing.

CvPHAGOGUS Odewahni, Pasc. — Mr. Pascoe's description of this 

 species is very unsatisfactory; but as the legs are described as 

 being the same as in advena, and as of that species the posterior 

 tibiae are described as being " not longer than the basal joint of 

 the same pair " (of tarsi) I can be confident (presuming the quota- 

 tion to be correct) that I have not seen it. 



Cyphagogus diorymerus, n.sp. 



Dark brown (almost black), shining; each elytron with a yellow 

 stripe commencing at the shoulder and continued to but becoming 

 feebler towards apex; under surface and legs more or less diluted 

 with red. Prothorax at sides and the four anterior legs with 

 sparse yellowish hair, apex of elytra and posterior femora more 

 densely clothed with longer hair. 



Head smooth and impunctate; longer than rostrum, near base 



very feebly constricted. Rostrum impunctate, scarcely longer 



than the width across eyes. Antennae with the apical joint 



rather strongly compressed. Prothorax with the apical half 



strongly compressed at the sides and flattened above; median line 



narrowly impressed; distinctly punctate, the punctures at apex 



somewhat rugose. Elytra almost the width of prothorax, parallel-
