Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new Australian Longicornia. 371 
with a few erect, greyish, very remote hairs; head with a mesial line 
not extending to the vertex, but terminating directly below the tubers 
in a A-shaped impression; prothorax not broader than the head, 
favosely punctured, with two or three short shallow impressions on the 
disk; scutellum scutiform ; elytra favosely punctured, three angular 
imperfect ridges on each, behind the middle an irregular oblique pale- 
yellow patch or two conjoined spots; body beneath and legs dark 
brown, metasternum in the middle dark red; antennz not twice as 
long as the body, reddish brown, scantily pilose. Length 8 lines. 
Phoracantha flavo-picta, 
P. modice elongata, fusco-castanea ; prothorace suboblongo, ad latera bre- 
viter spinoso, disco reticulato-punctato, trituberculato; elytris nitidis, 
medium versus grosse punctatis, singulis flavo triplagiatis, apice biapi- 
culatis ; femoribus fusiformibus. 
Hab. South Australia (Mr. Odewahn). 
Moderately elongate, chestnut-brown; head covered with coarse 
greyish hairs, deeply sulcate between the tubers; prothorax somewhat 
oblong, with a coarse, reticulate punctation and three smoothish 
tubercles on the disk, the sides shortly spined; scutellum elongate- 
triangular, with slightly rounded sides; elytra shining, very slightly 
pubescent, strongly punctured towards the middle, less so at the base, 
nearly smooth posteriorly, each elytron having three large pale-yellow 
patches, one at the base, the second at the middle, both of these some- 
what oblique, and approximating towards the suture, so as to form, 
with those on the opposite side, a rough X -shaped mark, the third patch 
oblong and near the apex, the apex itself obliquely truncate, with each 
angle spined, the outer spine being considerably the longest; body be- 
neath brownish red; the abdomen much darker, covered with long grey 
hairs ; legs and antenne pale ferruginous, with a thin greyish pubes- 
cence, the latter scareely as long as the body ; femora fusiform. Length 
12 lines. 
A very distinct species, which I cannot approximate to any other 
known to me; in the disposition of colour on the elytra it is, perhaps, 
something after the style of P. tricuspis, which, however, is in all other 
respects very different.

Caput antice transversum; tuberibus antenniferis brevibus, distantibus. 
Oculi mediocres, profunde emarginati. Antenne corpori eequales, sub- 
lineares, scapo oblongo-ovato; articulo tertio multo longiore, apice 
mutico; sequentibus subzequalibus. Prothorax subglobosus, basi con- 
strictus. Elytra prothorace vix latiora, depressa, parallela, apice integra. 
Pedes mediocres ; femora clavata; tubie arcuatee et compress; tarsi 
breves, intermedii et postici ‘articulo basali ceteris longiore. Pro- 
sternum depressum. Mesosternum elongatum, declive.
