each side, are two small pilose dots : the elytra, and the entire 

 under surface, are covered with the same griseous pilosity, but 

 each elytron has a longitudinal band, perfectly glabrous, extending 

 from its humeral angle to its external spined apex. 



Inhabits New Holland. In the cabinet of the Entomological 

 Club. 



Natural Order. — Anthribites, Newman. 



Genus. — Pachyura? Hope. 



Pach. monilis. Grisea, supra tuberculis confertis nigris obtecta; 

 titroque elytro lineis 4 longitudinalibus nigerrimo griseoque 

 alterne coloratis: pedes grisei, tarsis nigerrimis. (Corp. long, 

 rostro baud incluso, .55 unc. ; lat. .25 unc.) 



Grey : the head, prothorax, and elytra being entirely covered with 

 minute black shining tubercles : the prothorax has a deep longi- 

 tudinal impression, extending from near the centre to its posterior 

 margin ; the elytra have four equidistant longitudinal lines, each 

 composed of a series of black and grey spots, alternating regularly: 

 the legs are grey, with the exception of the tarsi, which are ex- 

 cessively black. The femora are stout, and entirely without spines. 



Inhabits New Holland. Taken by Mr. Imeson, and pre- 

 sented by that gentleman to the cabinet of the Entomological 

 Club. With my slight knowledge of exotic forms, I feel fearful 

 of advancing an opinion at variance with that of so eminently 

 skilful an entomologist as Mr. Hope ; but I confess that it ap- 

 pears to me extremely probable that the species of his genus, 

 Pachyura, will turn out to be nothing more than female Isa- 

 canthcs, the femoral spines being not unfrequently a sexual 

 character ; be this as it may, the jjresent species is abundantly 

 distinct from the one which he has so carefully described in the 

 Zoological Transactions, Vol. I. pp. 102, 103. 



Natural Order. — Curculionites, Newman.
