OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 167 



Phlozodromius PLAGIATUS. 

 Testaceo-rufus nitidus, elytris obsolete striatis fascia magna 

 nigra. 

 Long., 4 lin. ; lat., 1J lin. 

 Hab. Yule Island, Hall Sound, New Guinea. 

 One specimen only was found, and that under bark. The whole 

 insect is of a nitid testaceous red colour, excepting a broad black 

 fascia occupying the middle of the elytra. The eyes are white, the 

 feet short and robust, and the elyti-a very indistinctly striate. This 

 genus, of which only one species was previously known — P. piceus 

 rnihi — will be found described in the Transactions of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of New South Wales, vol 2, p. 85. 



Lebia Papuensis. 

 Rufo-testacea subnitida, thorace brevi late marginato angulis 

 posticis rectis subrecurvis anticis late rotundatis mar. 

 gine seta prope angulos anticos et in angulis posticis 

 instructo, elytris rufo-brunneis latis sinuato-truncatis 

 fortiter striatis interstitiis convexis fascia obscura nigra 

 subapicali. 

 Long., 3 lin. 



Hab. Hall Sound, New Guinea. 



Of this species, also, only one was caught, and also under bark. 

 The colour is testaceous red, becoming brown on the elytra, which 

 have an indistinct black fascia near the apex. The head is flat 

 between the eyes, and has in front of them, between the insertion 

 of the antenna?, two short longitudinal impressions. The eyes are 

 black, round, and prominent. The thorax is of the width of the 

 head and eyes, short, transverse, very much rounded at the ante- 

 rior angles, broadly margined on the sides, square, acute, and 

 recurved at the posterior angles, and finely acuducted on the dor- 

 sal surface, with the median line well marked, and with a lonp- 

 seta at each posterior angle and on the anterior third of the margin. 

 The elytra are broad and flat ; they get broader from the humeral 

 angle, terminate in a sinuated truncation, and are strongly striated, 

 with the interstices broad and convex — the third with an impres- 

 sion near the apex — and the lateral stria marked with large dis- 

 tinct punctures.
