 Genus. — Rhyncocephalus, Fischer. 



Rhynco. Gigas. Labrum magnum, corneum, testaceum, vix capita brevius, man- 

 dibulse maxillEeque pariter elonoaloe; labium vix labro longius; antennse 

 desunt : corpus breve, obesum, lanuginosum, supra testaceo-fuscum, subtus

 Inhabits New Holland. A single specimen, taken by Mr. Imeson near Sydney, is 

 in the cabinet of the Entomological Club.

Nemestrina Trichophthalma costalis, Westwood, 'Phil. Mag.' 3rd scr. vi. 448. 

 Inhabits New^ Holland. Specimens taken by Mr. Davis, at Adelaide, are in the 

 cabinet of the Entomological Club. 



Rhynco. ales. Instrumenta cibaria desunt : corpus breve postice acuminatum, la- 

 nuginosum, supra fuscum, subtus canum: alae longiores et (plei-umque basin

 (Corp. long. •() unc. alar. lat. 2 unc.) 



Inhabits New Holland. A single specimen is in Mr. Shuckard's cabinet. 



Genus.— Neuria, Neimnan. 

 I propose this new genus, because I find that the greater part of the AnthracidaG 

 of New Holland will not range with either of our genera. Anthrax or Stygia : besides 

 the genus Rhyncocephalus, which I think strictly belongs to the same family, and to 

 which the above-named species seem properly to belong, we find three distinct forms ; 

 the first, which might be termed Ligyra, represented by Anthrax bombyliformis of 

 MacLeay*: the second Neuria, distinguished by the remarkably curved nervures of the 

 wings, and containing two established and a great number of nondescript species ; and 

 the third Stygia, also numerous in species, few of which have been noticed by describers. 



Neuria lateralis. Fusca : abdomen apice rotundatum, fuscum, lateribus fenugi- 

 neis : alee fuscas fascia ante apicem alba, nervuris ferrugineo-fuscis, nervura 

 costali serrata, cellula subcostali 2da medio divisa : pedes testacei. (Corp. 

 long. "8 unc. alar. lat. 2-1 unc.)
