48 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
Goétymes flavicornis. (PI. II. fig. 5.) 
G. pallide fulvescens ; mandibulis, prothorace, sternis femoribusque ni- 
gris; antennis flavescentibus. 
Hab. Australia (Port Stephens). 
Pale brownish fulvous, more or less clothed with short erect hairs; 
mandibles, prothorax, breast, and thighs black or brownish black, ab- 
domen and antennz pale yellow; head convex and rounded in front, 
covered with minute vermicular folds; epistome and lip trigonal; 
mandibles thick, bifid at the end, coarsely punctured at the base ; palpi 
robust, the labial much smaller than the maxillary, the last joint in 
both ovate; prothorax subtrigonate, the sides slightly rounded ; scu- 
tellum triangular, the apex prolonged into a short quadrate process ; 
elytra very short, spatulate; legs robust; all the coxe contiguous; 
femora and tibize ciliated beneath, the latter with a single spur; tarsi 
short, the claws simple ; abdomen corneous, not contracting when dry. 
Length 10 lines. 
The specimen described is in the British Museum. The hind tarsi 
are unfortunately wanting; in the figure they are assumed to 
resemble those of Sttarida Hopei. Port Stephen or Stephens is 
about two degrees N. of Sydney. 
Cypuacoaus [ Brenthide ]. 
Parry, Trans. Ent. Soc. v. p. 182. 
Cyphagogus advena. 
C. rufo-testaceus, nitidus; capite lato, breviusculo, apice emarginato ; 
elytris striatis, striis modice punctatis. 
Hab. Natal. : 
Reddish testaceous, shining; head as broad as the prothorax, but 
considerably shorter, finely and sparsely punctured, widely emarginate 
at the apex, which is bilobed on each side ; eyes round, black; antennz 
scarcely longer than the head ; prothorax narrow, compressed anteriorly, 
with a few minute, scattered punctures; no visible scutellum ; elytra 
as broad as the prothorax, deeply striated, the strize with shallow, rather 
distant punctures; body beneath more coarsely punctured; legs with 
the posterior tibiz not longer than the basal joint of the tarsi of the 
same pair. Length 3 lines. 
This adds one more to the list of remarkable genera common to 
the Indian Islands and to Natal, yet still sufficiently distinct to form 
another category in this curious and very strongly marked genus. 
That is to say, that in its shorter head and thicker rostrum it recedes 
from Cyphagogus and approaches Zemioses, which, however, has legs 
of the more normal character.
