 from Mr. Lea was taken in the Richmond River District). 



P. Calliope, sp. nov. 



Sat late ovalis ; modice convexa ; sat nitida ; testacea vel 

 brunneo-testacea, antennis apicem versus et elytrorum inter- 

 stitiis nonnullis (varie et interrupte) piceo-brunneis; capite 

 crebre subtilius punctulato; antennis modice elongatis, sat 

 robustis; prothorace quam longiori ut 2J ad 1 latiori, crebre 

 subtiliter (ad latera magis fortiter) punctulato, fere tequali, 

 lateribus leviter arcuatis, angulis anticis subacutis posticis 

 subrectis; elytris distiucte striatis, 10-sei"iatim fortiter punc- 

 tulatis, interstitiis convexis minus perspicue punctulatia, 

 sutura postice distincte carinata, parte marginali quam series 

 externse perspicue magis grosse punctulata. 



^. Tarsorum anteriorum 4 articulo basali minus fortiter 

 dilatato, lateribus parum rotundatis. 



A species bearing considerable general resemblance to /'. 

 orphana, Er., but differing from it ijiter alia in the considerably 

 longer basal joint of its antennae, and in the elytral series of 

 punctures not becoming coarser towards the apex in which region 

 the interstices are not (as they are in orphawi) narrower than the 

 diameter of the punctures in the adjacent series.

Subovata; modice convexa; nitida; testacea, elytrorum serierum 

 puncturis et interstitiis nonnullis (exemplis nonnullis uni- 

 coloribus exceptis) plus minusve fuscis, antennis apicem 

 versus nigricantibus; capite dupliciter (subtiliter et subfor- 

 titer) punctulato, antennis minus elongatis, apicem versus 

 perspicue compresso-dilatatis, articulis nonnullis quam latiori- 

 bus vix longioribus; prothorace quam longiori ut 2i ad 1 

 latiori, fere jequah, ut caput (sed ad latera sat grosse nee 

 crebre) punctulato, lateribus leviter arcuatis, angulis anticis 

 acutis posticis subrectis ; elytris haud striatis, subfortiter
