subnitidis seta pallida instructis antice transversim im- 

 presso lateribus ampliato, elytris subangustis seriatim rude 

 punctatis interstitiis remote tuberculatis, ventre medio 

 dense flavo-birto. 



Long. 10 lin., lat. 3. lin. 



Hab. South Australia. 



This is the most elongate species of the genus. There are 

 two specimens, a male and a female, in the late Mr. MacLeay's 

 collection, labelled " Adelaide, South Australia." I have never 

 seen it in any other collection.

"Oblongus ater opacus vix squamosus, rostro bisulcato, thorace

Long. 8 lin., lat. 2| lin. 



Hab. South Australia. 



This species may be at once distinguished by its narrow form 

 and black colour. I give South Australia as its habitat on the 

 authority of Germar (Linn. Ent., 1848), but I have some doubt 

 as to the two specimens of the insect which I possess having 

 come from South Australia.
