ON THE STENOCHORID^ OF NEW HOLLAND. 201 



unique. I have seen a second species, but have not been able to obtain permission to 

 describe it. 



In concluding my remarks on the genera and species of StenochorideB peculiar to New- 

 Holland, I have only to add, that all the above species described are in mv possession, 

 and are accessible to those who wish to examine them ; and it only remains for me to 

 add, that some of the drawings are executed by Mr. Westwood, and the remainder h\ 

 Mr. Spry, a talented and rising artist''

* Since this memoir was read my collection has considerably increased, so much so that the number of n«i- 

 species already equals those which are above described ; it is my intention, therefore, to submit to the scientific 

 meetings, on a future occasion, a Supplement. I may, however, at present add some obseriations on theS^eno- 

 chorida: sent to me by Mr. W. Sharpe MacLeay, who has collected them assiduously in Australia ; and as his 

 remarks relate in many instances to localities and habits, they will give us some additional information of a 

 group whose habits are little known. " Slenochorus " (says Mr. MacLeay) " is a good genus, and so verily I 

 believe is your family Stenochoridm, as it cannot now be called Fabrician. I think Stenochorus semipunctatus a 

 very good type of the family ; and the order of affinity of the Longicom families is, in my humble opinion, 

 nearly as follows : 



"1. Prionidcc; 2. Lamiad<E; 3. Cerambycidte ; 4. StenochoridcE ; o. LepturidtB." 



Having remarked on the family, &c., Mr. MacLeay then adds his observations on the species I have 

 described. I give his remarks, therefore, nearly totidem verbis. 



Sp. 1. S. latus. This insect is not a native of the interior, I have only found it on the coast, in the heart 

 of logs of Casuarinie ; it varies greatly in size. 



Sp. 6. S. punctatus. Under this name two species seem to be confounded: one, elytris punclatis antici 

 subrugosis ; and the other, elytris antici punctatis subrugosis, postici glaberrimis : one is from Swan River, and 

 the other from Sydney. 



Sp. 8. S. semipunctatus. Fab. Under this name also two species seem to be confounded. The S. semi- 

 punctatus apparently has a wide range, occurring at Swan River and Van Diemen's Land. I usually find it under 

 the bark of Eucalyptus. 



Sp. 12. S. Acanthocervs, M. L., is rightly placed by you ; it was brought from the coast by Captain King ; 

 its length is 12 lines. 



Sp. 24. Meropachys Macleaii is taken on the flowers of Leptospermum. 



Sp. 27. Uracantha triangularis is common at Ulladolla on the coast; it frequents flowers.
