26. Acanthoderus marginicollis, BoisdTival, Faune de I'Oceauie, 490. 

 Found in December and January, on dying wattles. Some of the 



numerous specimens of this insect are much worn, and I may possi- 

 bly have placed more than one species under this name. 



27. Acafithoderiis australis, Boisduval, 1. c. 489. 



Found in December, on Wattles. The specimens of this insect dif- 

 fer slightly from those I possess under the same name. 



28. Acanthoderus inglorius. Niger, concolor, lanugine cinerea irro- 



ratim obsitus : antennae pilosae, articulis basi cinereis : caput et 

 prothorax confertissime puncta, punctis haud magnis at conflu- 

 entibus : elytra puncta, punctis magnis, profundis, distinctis, 

 utriusque carinse 2 elevatae glabrae, ante basin desinientes, ante 

 apicem adjungentes carina singula desinientes. (Corp. long. '6 

 unc. lat. "25 unc.) 

 Found in December and January, on Wattles. This specimen, be- 

 ing in good preservation, and essentially differing in colour, &c. from 

 the previously characterized species, I have ventured to describe as 

 new. 



29. (PentacosmiaJ scoparia. Genus novum ? Antennae corpore lon- 



giores, hirtae, li-articulatae, articuli 3 et 4 valde longi, 5us fasci- 

 culo scopario gaudens, caeteri breves simplices : oculi ad an- 

 tennarum basin angusti : prothorax latitudine brevior, dorso 

 transverse obsolete rugatus, lateribus medio 1-dentatus : elytra 

 dorso complanata, apice rotundata : pedes mediocres, feraoribus 

 paullo tumidis. Pent, scoparia. Fusco-picea, lanugine palli- 

 diori maculatim obsita : elytra obsolete 1-carinata, puncta, 

 punctis magnis profundis undique sparsis. (Corp. long. '25
