rotunclatis, magnis : prothorax punctus, lateribiis dente magno 

 obtiiso armatus : elytra subtiliter puncta, 1 0-striata, striis pro- 

 funde pimctis, punctis apicem versus minus distinctis. (Corp. 

 long. '45 unc. lat. '15 unc.) 



Inhabits Van Dieman's Land. A single specimen is in the cabinet 

 of the Entomological Club. If this be considered a distinct genus I 

 would propose for it the name Pylus. 



Genus. — Eleale, Newman. 



Caput valde porrectum, nullo modo pronum ; os elongatum, labrum 

 elongatum, poiTectum, truncatum ; mandibular curvataj apice acuta?; 

 maxillarum laciniae elongatae hirsutae ; maxipalporum articulus basalis 

 invisus, articulis 3 cylindraceis, apicali nullo modo incrassato ; la- 

 bipalporum articulus apicalis securiformis : antennae ll-articulatae; 

 articuli distincti, apicem versus magnitudine crescentes, clavam dis- 

 tinctam formantes : prothorax dorso complanatus, lateribus fere rectis. 



JEleale aspera. Caputpunctum, prothorax transverse rugatus: ely- 

 tra aspere ac profunde puncta, punctis confluentibus : color 

 nigro-viridis, antennis pedibusque nigris : totum insectum pilis

Inhabits Van Dieman's Land. There is a single specimen in the 

 cabinet of the Entomological Club. 



Genus. — Hydnocera, Newman. 



Hyd. nitens. Nigerrima, glaberrima, antennis, pedibus abdomine- 

 que ferrugineis : elytrorum fasciis 3 lineaque brevi juxta scu- 

 tellum fiavidis. (Corp. long. '25 unc. lat. "05 imc.) 



Inhabits Van Dieman's Land. A single specimen is in the cabinet 

 of the Entomological Club. The head is very black and shining on 

 the crown, the face and mouth being pale testaceous ; the antennae 

 are ferruginous : the prothorax is entirely black : the scutellum is 

 black and punctured : the elytra are equally black and shining, with 

 several clear yellow markings; the first of these extends along the 

 base, on each side of the scutellum ; the second is on the suture, im- 

 mediately below the scutellum ; the third is a band across the middle 

 of the elytra, interrupted at the suture, and does not reach the lateral 

 margins ; the fourth is situated half way between this and the apex of 

 the elytra, and may perhaps be described as two lunulate marks reach-
