tarsi stouter. A small specimen (4 mm.), also from the Tweed 

 River, differs in being more brightly coloured, the elytral spots 

 combined to form a wide fascia, and the posterior tibiae stouter. 



I have a specimen from Tasmania (Mr. A. Simson's No. 2641) 

 which appears to belong to this species, but it has unfortunately 

 lost the elytra. 



Cyphagogus suspendiosus, n.sp. 



Bright red, shining; elytra obscurely tinged with black about 

 the middle. Prothorax at the sides and the legs feebly pubescent; 

 elytra with elongate setae on the alternate interstices. 



Head smooth, near base deeply constricted, the part behind the 

 constriction much lower than in front. Rostrum not much longer 

 than wide, and feebly but moderately distinctly punctate and with 

 a very feeble longitudinal impression. Antennae as in the pre- 

 ceding species. Prothorax somewhat pear-shaped, finely punctate, 

 the median line almost invisible. Ehjtra much as in the pre- 

 ceding, except that the alternate interstices are less coarsely 

 punctate. Metasternuni and basal segments of abdomen feebly 

 impressed along middle. Anterior femora stout, intermediate 

 clavate and feebly dentate, posterior pedunculate; posterior tibiai 

 longer than three basal joints of tarsi. Length 5§, width 4 mm. 



Hah. — Bindogundra (Mr. J. Harris), Tamworth, Forest Reefs, 

 N.S.W. (Lea). 



May be readily distinguished from the preceding species by the 

 much greater constriction of the head at the base, shorter tarsi, 

 stouter intermediate femora, absence of elytral spots, itc. ; the 

 prothorax is also considerably longer and narrower.
