tudinally impressed. Pygidium rather large. Femora rather 

 stout, edentate. Length, 3 J mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Coen River (H. Hacker). 



Allied to B. leucospila^ but with the markings somewhat differ- 

 ent, and prothoracic punctures much smaller. This and the 

 following species belong to the fifth group of the genus (as 

 defined in Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Aust., 1906, p.84). 



Baris longicollis, n.sp. 



Black, shining. White scales condensed to form a stripe on 

 each side of prothorax, two interrupted fasciae on elytra (one at 

 base, the other beyond the middle), and a spot near each eye, and 

 another on each side of metasternum; elsewhere sparsely clothed 

 or glabrous. 



JJead and rostrum much as in preceding species. Prothorax 

 slightly longer than wide, sides almost regularly diminishing in 

 width from base to apex; with dense punctures of moderate size. 

 Elytra with outlines and striae as in preceding species; punctures 

 of moderate size or rather small. l*rosternum, pygidium, and 

 femora as in preceding species. Length, 4 mm. 



Hah — Queensland : Cairns (J. A. Anderson). 



Allied to the preceding species, but the prothorax decidedly 

 longer, and the white scales on base of elytra not confined to the 

 second interstice. The punctures on the first interstice are in a 

 quite regular row to near the apex; on some of the others, they 

 also form a single row for part of their lengths; but, on most of 

 the interstices, they are irregular, and especially about the base 

 and apex. 



Subfamily Cossonides. 



NOTIOSOMUS XANTHORRHCE^, n.Sp. 



Black, shining; appendages of a dark dingy red, legs sometimes 

 almost black. 



Head shining, and with minute punctures at base, elsewhere 

 with dense punctures, not very large V>ut clearly defined; inter- 

 ocular fovea rather small, but deep and distinct. Rostrum 

 rather long, feebly narrowed between antennae and base, where
