Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new Australian Longicornia. 231 
scapo oblongo-ovato, articulo secundo tertio dimidio breviore, tertio 
scapo parum equali, quarto et quinque gradatim longioribus, sexto 
breviore, ceteris perbrevibus, ultimo ovato, precedentibus obconicis. 
Prothorax oblongus, regularis, capite paulo latior. Elytra elongata, 
parallela, prothorace vix latiora, apice integra. Pedes mediocres ; 
femora clavata; tarsi breves, zequales. -Acetabula antica vix angulata. 
Pro- et meso-sterna simplicia. Abdomen segmentis equalibus. 
This genus is nearly allied to Pytheus and Brachytria, but is at 
once distinguished by its ten-jointed antennex, with the third and 
fourth joints of the normal character, not abbreviated as in those 
genera. As a secondary distinction, the elytra are without the 
smooth elevated lines that are found in the allied forms. 
Omophena Kruesleri, (Pl. XI. fig. 8.) 
O. nigra, subnitida, rugoso-punctata; elytris humeris aurantiacis, 
Hab. South Australia. 
Black, subnitid; head, prothorax, and elytra very coarsely and closely 
punctured, with scattered, slender, nearly erect white hairs remotely 
scattered over those parts; elytra with the shoulders orange; body 
beneath and legs pitchy, nearly glabrous, shining; antenne brownish 
pitchy, about half the length of the body. Length 23 lines, 
Phoracantha Odewahnii. 
P. depressa, fulva, fere opaca; prothorace sequato (tn fam. subtransverso), 
lateribus breviter spinoso ; elytris lateribus pone humeros incurvatis, 
apice integris; pedibus haud elongatis; femoribus attenuatis. 
Hab. South Australia (Mr, Odewahn). 
Depressed, fulvous, nearly opake; head coarsely punctured, with a 
few scattered hairs, mesial line almost obsolete; antennz about the 
length of the body in both sexes, the joints from the third to the eighth 
inclusive spined on both sides at the apex ; prothorax dark brown, equal 
in the male, subtransverse in the female, rather small, the sides shortly 
spined, the disk favosely punctured with five (qu. three) fulvous tuber- 
cles, the two lateral united; scutellum triangular; elytra rather broad, 
especially in the female, obscurely dashed with brown at the suture, the 
apex rounded ; body beneath fulvous brown, with a thin greyish pile; 
legs very slender, but not elongate, the posterior tibie not extending 
beyond the apex of the abdomen. Length (¢) 14 lines, ( 2 ) 21 lines, 
This fine and very distinct species, in the small proportional size 
of the prothorax, can only be compared to P. hamata, Newm., and 
P. superans, Pasc., from both of which it is at once distinguished, 
inter alia, by the rounded apex of the elytra. 
Phoracantha grallaria. 
P. lata, fusca, subnitida; prothorace subtransverso, lateribus anguste an-
