indigo-blue ; legs black, with the coxee and femora (except at the 

 apex) yellow ; meso- and metasterua, abdomen, and antennae black. 

 Length 6 lines. 



This has scarcely the habit of any European Zonitis, and still less 

 of some depressed Australian species, of which the Z. dichroa of Ger- 

 mar may probably be taken as the type. 



EcELONERtrs [Anthribidae]. 

 Schonherr, Gen. et Spec. Cui-cul. torn. v. p. 163 (Supplem.). 



Ecelonerus alhojpictus. (PI. II. fig. 3.) 



E. subcylindricus, fuscus nigroque varius, fascia dentata antica et punctis 

 tribus discoideis protboracis, lunulis duabus magnis maculariformibus, 

 apiceque elytrorum albis. 



Hah. Austi'alia (Moreton Bay). 



Subcylindrical, pitchy, with a short dark-brown tomentum mixed 

 with black, and blotched with pure white ; head shortly ovate, brown, 

 slightly spotted with white ; prothorax subrotund, very convex, thickly 

 punctured, dark brown, with an iri-egular, toothed, white, band-like 

 mark on its anterior margin ; scutellum very small, white ; elytra punc- 

 tato-sti'iate, the alternate interstices raised and spotted with black, a 

 large white lunate patch, more or less spotted with brown, extending 

 longitudinally on the middle of each elytron, with its convexity 

 towards the sutm'e, and extending externally to its margin, the apex 

 also with a white patch of the same character ; antennoe pitchy-brown, 

 slightly hairy ; legs brown, annulated with white ; body beneath dvdl 

 cinereous, the three middle abdominal segments having on each side an 

 impressed hairy spot j mesosternum three-lobed posteriorly. Length 

 6 lines. 



"With this fine species of Ecelonerus I also obtained a specimen of 

 Dipieza Waterliousei , Pasc, hitherto only known from Aru, unless 

 indeed (as I have elsewhere suggested as regards the genus) the 

 (Edecerus* bipunctatus of M. Montrouzier, from Woodlark Island, 

 should be identical, in which case it wiU probably be found to be 

 very generally distributed in those regions. 



The subjoined is a list of the Australasian Anthribidse, so far, I 

 believe, as they have been described : — 



Ecelonerus subfasciatus, Hope. Sydney, Melbourne, Moreton Bay. 



insularis, Hope. Melbourne. 



albopictus, Pasc. Moreton Bay. 



Cratopai'is callosus, Schon. (mihi invisus). 



* There is a genus of Galerucinae bearing tliis name (although incorrectiv 

 written (Edtcerus) in Hugel's ' Reise duroh Kaschmir,' 1842, p. .^.^16.
