Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new Australian Longicornia. 241 
instance, some species of Carphurus, Er. Its affinity is not very 
decided, but, of all the genera known to me, I have no hesitation in 
placing it nearest to Tropis. It must be recollected that there are 
a number of very peculiar, and some of them very isolated, forms 
generally brought together under the Lepturide, but some of which 
have also been considered to belong to the Prionide. If we exclude 
Leptura, Strangalia, and other almost purely northern genera, we 
shall probably find that there remain several forms, some of which 
it will be natural to consider as representatives of distinct subfamilies ; 
but it will be almost impossible to find characters that will limit these 
satisfactorily ; therefore, and as a matter of convenience only, it may 
perhaps be desirable not to separate them. -If such a separation be 
made, we think Harinis will stand as the type of one of these sub- 
families. The whole insect is nearly glabrous, except for the long 
scattered setose hairs. So far as I know, it has only been taken by 
Mrs. Kruesler at Gawler. 
Earinis mimula, (Pl. XI. fig. 3.) 
E. nigro setulosa; capite nigro-chalybeato; prothorace flavo ; elytris pur- 
pureis, fasciis duabus stramineis ornatis. 
Hab. South Australia (Gawler). 
Narrow and depressed, with slender, erect, scattered black hairs; 
head dark chalybeate, roughly punctured, a broad groove between the 
antenne ; prothorax glossy yellow, punctured only to receive the long 
hairs that are thinly dispersed on its disk; scutellum transverse, black ; 
elytra closely punctured, purple, with two pale straw-coloured bands 
posteriorly ; the first and largest of these bands has the texture of the 
part raised, with fewer and larger punctures than elsewhere, the apex 
obtusely pointed; legs black, coarsely punctured, the posterior, when 
extended, not reaching beyond the abdomen; metasternum black, pro- 
pectus pale yellow, the abdomen reddish yellow, with the last abdominal 
segment entirely, and the two preceding in the centre only, chalybeate 
black; antenne black, the fourth to the tenth joints inclusive yellow at 
the base. Length 6 lines. 
In a second specimen the hind head is yellow; the elytra, meta- 
sternum, and last abdominal segment, with the spots on the preceding 
two, are bright chalybeate-blue. 
Agapete Kruesleri. : 
A, niger; capite rubro ; abdomine infra segmentis secundo et tertio totis 
griseo pilosis. 
Hab. South Australia (Mrs. Kruesler). - 
Head orange-red, closely punctured, a deep fovea between the eyes, 
immediately above the antennary tubers, mesial line well marked ;
