232 Mr.F. P. Pascoe on some new Australian Longicornia. 
gulato; elytris flavo vittatis, apice bispinosis; antennis compressis, 
articulorum apicibus utrinque productis; pedibus intermediis et pos- 
ticis elongatis, femoribus linearibus. 
Hab. Queensland (Mr. Diggles). 
Broad, dark brown, and rather glossy; head coarsely punctured, a 
deep mesial line between the eyes; antennz longer than the body, 
compressed, covered with a short greyish pile, the joints from the third 
to the seventh or eighth inclusive produced on both sides at the apex ; 
prothorax nearly equal, each side with a narrow angular process, the 
disk favosely punctured with five glossy tubercles ; scutellum triangular, 
the apex rounded; elytra with three longitudinal yellow patches or 
stripes extending from near the base to beyond the middle, the central 
stripe, with a partial interruption, terminating at the inner apical angle, 
the apex bispinous ; body beneath and legs covered with a dense grey 
pile, the latter having the intermediate and posterior pairs very slender 
and elongate, and their tibie, particularly the posterior, flexuose; the 
anterior legs very short, their femora scarcely half the length of the in- 
termediate. Length 16 lines. 
A very distinct and handsome species, remarkable for its long and 
slender intermediate and posterior legs, with the femora absolutely 
linear, and for the yellow stripes on the elytra. 
Phoracantha pedator. 
P. angusta, fusca, subnitida; prothorace elongato, lateribus late angulato ; 
elytris medio et basin versus plus minusve flavo plagiatis, apice biapi- 
culatis, flavo plagiatis; pedibus elongatis, femoribus valde clavatis. 
Hab. South Australia (Mr. Odewahn). 
Narrow, dark brown, subnitid; head rugosely punctured, a short 
mesial line between the eyes; antennze as long as the body in the 
female, about a third longer in the male, ferruginous, the third, fourth, 
and fifth joints spined at the apex on one side; prothorax elongate, 
very irregular, scarcely punctured, the sides nodose; scutellum rounded 
behind; elytra with yellow patches at the middle and towards the base, 
and an oblong spot at the apex, which is bispinous, the inner or sutural 
spine nearly obsolete ; body beneath dark brown, finely pubescent, the 
mesopectus reddish chestnut ; legs elongate, the femora very strongly 
clavate. Length 6-9 lines. 
In its narrow outline and long legs, with the strongly clavate 
femora, this species approaches P. aberrans, Newm.; but it has not 
the sharp thoracic spine of that species, and its coloration differs 
entirely. 
Phoracantha hospita. 
P. fusca, nitida ; prothorace oblongo (ti faem. zequato), spina laterali acuta ; 
elytris medio flavo fasciatis vel subfasciatis, apice biapiculatis, flavo
