460 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
ones behind, all arranged in pairs, the sides rugosely tuberculate; elytra 
with comparatively few tubercles, placed in three irregular rows, the 
principal tubercle at the shoulder; body beneath brown; legs and 
antenne reddish chestnut; mesosternum produced anteriorly. Length 
2 lines. 
My specimen appears to be a female, but in colour, size, &c. it dif- 
fers considerably from the above. I received these two species from 
Mr. MacLeay, but without any special locality. They are I think, 
most interesting additions to the fauna of that island continent. 
Ceropria* peregrina. 
C. nigra, nitida; prothorace subtilissime punctato, basi utrinque fortiter 
impresso ; elytris striato-punctatis, punctis confertis; tarsis ferru- 
gineis. 
Hab. Queensland. 
Black, shining; head finely punctured, clypeus extending to the eyes, 
truncate in front: antennze with the joints from 4-10 equal, equilat- 
erally triangular, 11 orbicular; prothorax minutely punctured, a large 
fovea on each side at the base; elytra punctate-striate, the punctures 
squarish and very close together, the spaces between the striz finely 
punctured ; body beneath pitchy; legs glossy black, the tarsi filiform, 
ferruginous. Length 43 lines, 
Emyrsara ['Trachyscelinee ]. 
Caput subretractum; clypeus rotundatus; Jabiwn transversum. Oculi 
transversi, prothorace subobtecti. -Antenne mediocres, articulis apice 
ciliatis, secapo oblongo, art. 2 brevi, 3 obconico et longiore, 4, 5, 6 bre- 
viter obconicis, 7, 8, 9, 10 transversis, ultimo rotundato. Pulpit maxillares 
robusti, art. ult. ovato, preecedente haud latiore. Maaille lobo interno 
angusto, hamato. Palpi labiales parvi, remoti, labii basi externe inserti. 
Labium transversum, antice late emarginatum, postice contractum. 
Mentum transverse quadratum. Prothorax transversus, antice angus- 
tior, basi truncatus, lateraliter marginatus. Z/ytra prothorace latiora, 
brevia, epipleurz angustate. Tvbre trigonate, calcaratse. Tarsi antici 
et intermedii art. 2° et 3° dilatatis, postici filiformes. Prosternum 
postice productum, processu in fovea excisa mesosterni recepto, Corpus 
eloboso-ovatum, marginibus ciliatum. 
Nearly all the characters of this genus are, in the main, similar 
to those of Phaleria, except the ciliated margin of the body and the 
dilated anterior and intermediate tarsi—in the former approaching 
Trachysceline and Anemia, belonging to the same subfamily, and in 
the latter the Pedinine. The elytra are finely striated: nine strice 
may be counted on each ; they are therefore rather widely apart. I
