base of the prothorax is not bisinuate, the scrobes are directed 

 beneath the rostrum and the scape of the antennae (when set 

 back) quite reaches the eye. If I am wrong in referring the 

 species before me to Olancea thej^will require a new generic name. 



OlaN^EA LiETA, sp.nOV. 



Ovalis ; ferruginea, capite rostro antennis (scapo excepto) 

 femoribus (apice excepto) tarsisque picescentibus ; rostro 

 elytrisque albo-setosis ; prothorace trivittatim et elytris 

 maculatim (ad humeros et circa scutellum) albo-squamosis ; 

 rostro quam prothorax vix longiori apicem versus tenuiori 

 nee angustato ; prothorace leviter transverse, apicem versus 

 leviter angustato, sat crebre sat rugulose punctulato ; elytris 

 punctulato-striatis, puncturis sat magnis, striis leviter im- 

 pressis, interstitiis leviter convexis ; sutura inter segmenta 

 ventralia 1""" et 2"™ fere recta. [Long. 1\, lat. f line. (vix). 

 S.A. ; near Port Lincoln. 



Antyllis alternata, sp.nov. 



Picea vel nigra, antennis pedibusque ferrugineis, unguiculis 

 nigris ; squamis subtilissimis fuscis albidis et uigris variegata; 

 supi-a setis pallidis erectis (in rostro elongatis sat gracilibus, 

 in partibus ceteris brevioribus crassioribus) ornata ; rostro 

 arcuato sat valido, prothorace vix longiori, hoc cum capite 

 leviter crasse subrugulose punctulato ; prothorace transverse 

 antice angustato, fortius sat crasse sat rugulose punctulato, 

 squamis albidis (in medio longitudinaliter condensatis) ornatis, 

 margine antico sat elevato ; elytris punctulato striatis, inter- 

 stitiis alternis sat fortiter convexis uniseriatim setosis.

 This species appears to be very like A. setosa, Pasc, but in that 

 species the apical half of the rostrum is said to be I'ufo-ferru- 

 ginous, and there is no mention of the alternate interstices of the 

 elytra being costate. The scales are so minute as not to be indi- 

 vidually distinct except under a compound microscope. In a 

 perfectly fresh specimen they form three inconspicuous white lines
