Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new Australian Longicornia. 227 
combined with its cylindrical prothorax, to say nothing of its colour, 
which seems to have been pretty uniform. 
Penthea intricata. 
P. dense pubescens, nigro fulvoque variegata; elytris subbicostatis; an- 
tennis castaneis, articulis tertio ad sexto basi albis. 
Hab, South Australia (Mr. Waterhouse). 
Covered with a short close-set pile, fulvous, varied with irregularly 
confluent black spots and patches; head spotted with black, a very clear 
mesial line joined above the epistome by two oblique lines ; palpi fer- 
ruginous; prothorax transverse, somewhat rugose at the sides, irre- 
gularly patched with black; elytra with their greatest breadth rather 
behind the middle, with shallow scattered punctures, and two well- 
marked but not elevated costee on each ; body beneath and legs greyish, 
spotted with black; antenne shorter than the body, dark chestnut, the 
third to the sixth joints inclusive white at the base. Length 6 lines. 
The irregularly confluent spots of both fulvous and black, especially 
on the elytra, together with the costz on those parts, will distinguish 
this well-marked species. 
Penthea crassicollis. 
P. dense pubescens, pilis elongatis albis adspersis, fulva, nigro irrorata ; 
prothorace latitudine elytris fere quali; antennis nigris. 
Hab. Interior of Australia (Stuart’s Expedition) (Mr. Waterhouse). 
Covered with a close-set fulyous pile, interspersed with long, strag- 
gling white hairs; head nearly as broad as the prothorax, coarsely 
punttured with mixed white and fulvous hairs; prothorax rough from 
deeply impressed confluent punctures, and rather obscurely varied with 
white and fulvous; scutellum round, black; elytra scarcely broader 
than the prothorax, sparingly punctured, without raised lines, a few 
glossy-black granules at the base, and spotted with black, a trilobed 
white mark round the scutellum, a patch of the same colour at the side 
behind the shoulder, and another towards the apex and nearly attain- 
ing to the suture; body beneath with a close mixed grey and fulvous 
pile; antennz black, about two-thirds as long as the body ; legs closely 
covered with greyish hairs. Length 8 lines. 
Distinguished by the breadth and fulness of the prothorax, and 
the presence of long white hairs, from all its congeners, except P. 
prcta, with which it agrees in the latter character only. 
Penthea picta, (PI. XI. fig. 5.) 
P. dense pubescens, pilis albis adspersis, ochracea, sparse nigro irrorata 
et albo plagiata; antennis totis nigris. 
Hab. South Australia (Mr. Waterhouse). 
Covered with a dense yellowish ochraceous pile, interspersed with
