456 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
lunar line; antennee shorter than the breadth of the head, imperfoliate ; 
prothorax finely punctured, the apex rather strongly emarginate ; scu- 
tellum broadly triangular; elytra punctate-striate, the striz sharply 
defined, the intervals minutely punctured; body beneath and legs dull 
testaceous or black; tibize and tarsi roughly ciliated. Length 23-3 
lines. 
Ecrirsis ['Trachysceline }. 
Characteres ut in Ammobio, sed palpi mavillares securiformes ; antenne 
longiores. ars? articulo ultimo elongato, 
The securiform palpi are an exception to the rest of the Trachy- 
sceline, except Sphargeris; the unusual length of the last tarsal joint 
will, however, distinguish this genus from all the others of the sub- 
family. 
Ecripsis pubescens. 
E. vufo-testacea, disperse griseo-pubescens. 
Hab. Tasmania. 
Shortly ovate, reddish testaceous, with a pubescence composed of 
short scattered hairs; head covered with small crowded granules ; 
clypeus separated from the front by a well-marked semicircular line ; 
antennze as long as the breadth of the head ; prothorax minutely and 
closely granulose ; scutellum very broadly triangular; elytra nearly 
impunctate, the sides with the pubescence more setose and elongate ; 
body beneath and legs reddish testaceous, sparingly pubescent; tibize 
granulose, the anterior with the outer apical portion triangular, with a 
comparatively slight emargination above. Length 1# line. 
Isaripa [Trachysceline ]. 
Oculi detecti. Prothorax basi lobatus. Tibie intermediz et posticze 
lineares, ciliatze ; ¢arsis propriis elongatis. Prosternum declive, haud 
lanciforme, mesosterno distinctum. Cveteris ut in Ammobio, sed corpus 
minus convexum. 
From Anemia this genus, like Ammobius, will be distinguished, 
inter alia, by its retractile anterior tarsi: the principal characters 
separating it from the latter le in the four posterior tibie and tarsi, 
and the prosternum. 
Isarida testacea. 
I, fulvo-testacea, glabra, subnitida ; elytris subtiliter granulato-punctatis. 
Hab, India (Dacca). 
Fulvous-testaceous, glabrous, subnitid; head finely punctured; 
clypeus nearly confounded with the front, angularly emarginate ; 
length of the antennze scarcely half the width of the head; prothorax 
finely punctured, very transverse, lobed at the base ; scutellum broadly 
triangular; elytra finely granulato-punctate, bordered, as well as the 
prothorax, with long bristly hairs at regular intervals; body beneath
