468 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
however, a somewhat elongate metasternum, a character which that 
learned entomologist may probably consider inconsistent with such 
affinity. 
Ospidus chrysomeloides. 
O. fusco-seneus ; elytris cupreis, subtiliter punctatis ; antennis fuscis. 
Hab. Queensland. 
Dark brownish bronze; head closely punctured; lip broad, scarcely 
emarginate; prothorax very minutely and closely punctured, the sides 
with small vermicular elevations ; scutellum broadly triangular; elytra 
copper-brown, with numerous small punctures and several indistinct 
longitudinal raised lines; body beneath and legs reddish copper, shining ; 
antenne dark brown. Length 6 lines. 
Cossyphus* Odewahnit. 
C. ovatus, modice elongatus, testaceus, limbo subtilissime reticulato ; 
prothorace haud carinato; elytris striato-punctatis, insertionis linea 
secundum elytra biseriatim punctata. 
Hab, South Australia (Gawler). 
Ovate, slightly elongate, testaceous, rim subdiaphanous, the reticula- 
tions exceedingly delicate, and scarcely visible under the lens, except 
in certain lights; prothorax without any carina, almost obsoletely 
punctured, darker than the rim; scutellum triangular; elytra striato- 
punctate, the punctures rather coarse and irregular, the junction of the 
rim with the disk marked with two rows of large punctures; body be- 
neath, legs, &c. testaceous. Length 2 lines. 
The punctures in two rows at the junction of the disk with the 
rim of the elytra, although large, are not very well defined; but they 
are distinctive, and differentiate this species from any of those de- 
scribed by the Marquis de Bréme, none of which, however, are from 
Australia. Since his essay, M. Peyron and Dr. Gerstaecker have 
each published one, from Syria and Mozambique respectively. I 
have two more undescribed from India. 
Eutelust ovatus. 
E. niger, indumento terrulento griseo tectus ; prothorace medio bicalloso ; 
elytris ovatis, tuberculis numerosis irregulariter dispersis. 
Hab, Natal. 
Black, covered with a thick greyish or reddish-grey secretion mixed 
with short hairs; clypeus short, transverse, front of the head with a 
few glossy black tubercles; prothorax transversely subglobose, in the
