84 OX THE GLAPHYKID.E OF NEW HOLLAND, 



11.— PlTTLLOTOCDS PALLIATUS. (n. Sp.) 



Niger nitidiis, thorace rufo antice nigro, elytrls sulcatis cliscis 



late sericeo-rufis. 

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

 Hab. New South Wales. 



The black mark immediately behind the head, which presents 

 the appearance of a hood, is sometimes prolonged into a narrow 

 line to the base of the thorax. This species may possibly be the 

 female of P. iridescens. 



12. — Phtllotocus marginatus. (n. sp.) 



Niger subnitidus, frontis semicirculo punctato, thoracis lateribus 

 testaceis, elytris sulcatis rufo-testaceis sutura margineque 

 externo nigris. 



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



I think it very probable that this is the female of the species 

 I have named " marginipemiis." I describe it separately, as 

 I am by no means certain of the fact. 



13. — Phtllotoccs ruficollis. (n. sp.) 



Niger opacus hirtus, thorace testaceo, elytris sulcatis atro-rufis. 

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

 Hab. New South Wales. 



The thorax and elytra are of a very dark red, with black 

 hairs. Some of the specimens in my cabinet are labelled 

 " Manning River," and it is probable that the northern part of the 

 Colony is the true habitat of the species. 



14. — Phyllotocus australis, Boisd. (Voy. de I'Astrol. p. 211.) 



" Ruber ferrugineus hirtus, capite nigro, elytris sulcatis concolovi- 



bus vel sutm'u nigra, subtus ater." — Boisduval. 

 Long. 2 1 lin., lat. 1 lin. 

 •Hab. New South Wales and Victoria. 



This species varies considerably, and seems to be considered 

 identical with the P. dlscoidalis of MacLeay. If the spocicy be iden-
