 of the length, the 4th becoming obsolete at about f of the length 

 of the elytra.

The general resemblance of tliis species is to S. rectus, Newm ; 

 from which it may be readily distinguished inter alia by its more 

 elongate head, smaller eyes, the subsutural white line on its elytra 

 considerably shorter than the 2nd line, and the total absence of 

 pale colouring on the elevated line that commences on the shoulder. 



S. Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. 



S. deiisfus, Newm. I do not know this species, which is 

 described as of small size (Long. /^ inch) and having both suture 

 and lateral margin besides two discal lines and a short humeral 

 one whitish, and the head and prothorax "fuscis, baud ferru- 

 gineis." Is it possibly a var. of 6". recttis ?

H. Icetabilis, sp. nov. Nitida ; rufa, elytrorum parte dimidia 

 apicali abdomineque nigris, elytris fascia angusta elevata eburnea 

 mediana obliqua (hac suturam baud attingenti) ornatis ; sparsim 

 subtiliter setosa ; prothorace quam latiori paullo longiori, ad 

 basin abrupte tubulato, parte cetera globosa ; utroque elytro ad 

 basin vakle obtuse tuberculato, vix manifeste punctulato. 



Maris antennis quam corpus vix brevioribus ; prothorace 

 obsolete punctulato, minus nitido. 



Feminje antennis quam corpus sat brevioribus ; prothorace 

 subrugulose punctulato, magis nitido.
