216 A LIST OF THE CUCUJID^ OF AUSTRALIA, 



21. L.EMOPHLCEUS Macleayi. (A.M.) 



Placonohis longicornis, Macleay, Trans. Ent. See. N. S. Wales, 

 II., p. 168 (1871.) 



Gayndah, Queensland. 



Closely allied to the preceding species, but differs in having the 

 head and prothorax castaneous and the latei-al striae on the latter, 

 decidedly more distinct. It is also somewhat larger and the elytra 

 are, if anything, a trifle broader behind. As the speciBc name 

 "longicornis^' is preoccupied in the genus Lcemophloeus I have 

 followed the general practice in such cases and have proposed to 

 name this species after the author who first published a description 

 of it. 



22. L.emophlceus bistriatus. (A.M.) 



Lceinophheus bistriatus, G-rouvelle, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5), YIII . 

 p. 72, pi. 2, fig, 8, (1878.) 



Sutton Forest, New South Wales ; Tasmania. 



A single specimen collected by Mr. Masters at Sutton Forest 

 appears to agree with this species. 



23. L^MOPHLCEUS LEACHII. 



Loimophluius leachii, Grouvelle, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5), VI., ]). 

 499, pi. 9, fig. 18, (1876.) 

 New South Wales. 



24. L/EMOPHLCEUS RIGIDUS. sp. n. (A.M.) 



Elongate, depi*essed, reddish testaceous, shining ; prothorax very 

 slightly broader than long, a little broader in front than behind,

 behind the middle ; elytra somewhat depressed on each side of the
