226 Mr. F.P. Pascoe on some new Australian Longicornia. 
_ Symphyletes vestigialis. 
S. castaneus, pube ochracea dispersus; prothorace vix transverso, cylin- 
drico, capite latiore; elytris obsolete granulatis, sutura lateribusque 
niveis, disco ochraceo irroratis. 
Hab. South Australia (Mr. Odewahn). 
Chestnut-brown, nearly glabrous, varied with a short, dense pubes- 
cence, ochraceous and snowy white; head large, coarsely punctured, 
nearly glabrous, except on each side the mesial line, the sides of the eyes, 
and about the face, where it is furnished with ochraceous hairs; mandi- 
bles dark brown; prothorax nearly equal in length and breadth, cylin- 
drical, sparsely and coarsely punctured with four or five mostly irregular 
bands of ochraceous hairs ; scutellum transverse, glabrous ; elytra gradu- 
ally narrowing from the shoulders, the apex subtruncate, the punctures 
shallow and scattered, and at the base partially replaced with a few low, 
almost obsolete granules, the disk with a soft ochraceous pile, the derm 
showing itself in small round spots, the suture, however, white, sides of 
the disk glabrous, chestnut, the outer margin with a dense snowy-white 
stripe of fine decumbent hairs; body beneath covered with a white pile, 
beautifully varied with ochraceous and spotted with chestnut; legs 
banded with chestnut and white, the femora mostly the latter colour ; 
antennze about as long as the body in both sexes, dark chestnut, the base 
of all the joints, except the first and second, white. Length 8-9 lines. 
Allied to S. albocincta, Guér., but differently coloured, the pro- 
thorax longer and more cylindrical, the elytra less parallel at the 
sides, almost without granules, the pubescence more continuous, and 
the apex narrower and slightly truncate. No note accompanied my 
specimens, from which I infer the species is not uncommon. * 
Symphyletes gallus. 
S. ferrugineus, pube grisea tectus; prothorace regulari, fere cylindrico ; 
_ elytris subangustis, apice marginatis, sutura in spina productis, basi 
eranulato-cristatis. 
Hab. Interior of Australia (Stuart’s Expedition) (I. Waterhouse). 
Ferruginous, covered with a short greyish pile, faintly tinged in parts 
with fulvous; head rather short in front, sparsely punctured with a 
well-marked narrow mesial line; prothorax short, transverse, nearly 
cylindrical, the disk even; scutellum oblong, rounded behind; elytra 
rather narrow, gradually receding to the apex, which is truncated, the 
suture terminating in a short spine, at the base a short but elevated 
crest, crowned with three or four granules, rest of the elytra with irre- 
gular impressed punctures and scattered granules; body beneath and 
legs covered with a greyish pile; antenne (apparently) longer than the 
body, unicolorous. Length 9 lines. 
The specimen from which the above description is made is not in 
good condition, butit is very distinct on account of the crested elytra
