on my part was that I described as being probably hannata an 

 insect which can only be said to be prohahly longipennis, and, still 

 worse, described the true hamata as new under the name uncinata. 

 If those who possess last year's Vol. of the Proceedings will run 

 their pen through the heading " T. hamata " on page 1458, and 

 substitute that name for "T. uncinata, sp.nov." on p. 1461 the 

 mistake will be corrected. 



Uracanthus acutus, sp.nov. 



Obscure ferruginous, nonnullis exemplis antennis basi pedibusque 

 plus minus infuscatis ; parum nitidus ; dense breviter (elytrorum 

 parte antica subglabra excepta) pubescens; prothorace vix evidenter 

 transversim strigato, crebre subtilius subrugulose punctulato; 

 elytris apice spinuloso-productis, obscure costatis; antice crebrius 

 subtilius punctulatis, punctis postice gradatim etiam crebrioribus 

 subtilioribus ; parte apicali coriacea. [Long. 7f , lafc. 1|^ lines. 



Yery distinct from all others yet described of the genus. The 

 elytra, — each drawn out to a point, — the peculiar sculpture of the 

 same, and the very feeble transverse strigosity of the prothorax 

 are strongly characteristic. 



From Mr. T. G. Sloane ; Victoria. 



Khinophthalmus modestus, sp.nov. 



Elongatus ; gracillimus ; sat parallelus ', obscure fuscus, elytris 

 paullo pallidioribus ; dense breviter sat pallide pubescens ; rostro 

 quam R. nasuti breviori magis parallelo ; prothorace haud trans- 

 versim strigoso. [T-iong. 6, lat. f line (vix). 



Very much smaller than E. nasutus, Newm., and with the 

 rostrum evidently shorter, and very parallel. From R. margini- 

 pennis, Fairm., it would seem to differ by the absence of elytral 

 vittae; from M. striicolUs, Fairm., by the prothorax not transversely 

 strigose ; and from all three by the extremely parallel form. The 

 anterior margin of the eye is distinctly nearer to the apex of the
