This species is easily known from the last by its extreme 

 hairiness, smaller size, deeper colour, and black apical margin to 

 the elytra. I have specimens in my cabinet marked " New South 

 Wales," but the exact locality I am ignorant of. The species 

 seems to be abundant in Victoria. 



8. — Phyllotocus Kingii. (n. sp.) 



Niger subtus nitidus, thorace punctate, elytris rufis velutinis 



subporcatis. 

 Long. 3| lin., lat. 1| lin. 

 Hab. New South Wales. 



I have named this species after my friend, the Rev. Robert 

 Lethbridge King. It is easily distinguishable from the neighbour- 

 ing species by the thick red velvet pile on the elytra. It is not 

 uncommon in the neighbourhood of Sydney. 



9. — Phyllotocus marginipennis. (n. sp.) 



Niger nitidus, cajiite punctate, thorace glabro, elytris rufis 

 sericeis sulcatis sutura margineque lateral! postice nigris, 

 femoribus tibiisque anticis piceis. 



Long. 3^ lin., lat. 1| lin. 



Hab. New South Wales. 



This species is also abundant in the neighbourhood of Sydney. 

 The surface almost free of hair, with the black suture and black 

 outer margin of the hinder part of the elytra sufficiently mark 

 the species. 



10. — Phyllotocus iridescens. (n. sp.) 



Niger iridescens, thoracis lateribus elytrorumque disco late 



testaceis. 

 Long. 3 lin., lat. T| lin. 

 Hab. New South Wales. 



The beautiful sericeous lustre of this insect at once dis- 

 tinguishes it from all of the genus hitherto described. The sides of 

 the thorax and disc of each elyti-on are testaceous, while the 

 surface is but lightly clothed with hairs. The species is rather 

 abundant in the early part of summer.
