DBS0K1PT1ON8 OF NKW HKMIPTEKA FROM NEW HOUTH WALKS. 607 



I have received one unlocalized specimen of this species, which is 

 very closely allied to G. bremcollis Stal, l)ut diÔ'ers from it by the diffé- 

 rent markings of the head, the dark colour of the rostrnm, sternum and 

 abdomen and the greather length of the elytra.

Tamworth. — I have seen this species in the Hamburg Museum 

 also from Eockhampton. Queensland. 



It differs from P. hnniir Westw. by the longer, thinner and den- 

 ser hairs of the body, antenuie and legs, the black antennae and an- 

 terior femora, the coriaceous portion of the eh'tra testaceous, concolo- 

 rous with the pronotuni. etc. The basal portion of the hind tibige, which is 

 destitute of the brush of hairs, is not longer than the testaceous apical por- 

 tion of the hind femora. The third joint of the antenna? is twice as long as 

 the fourth, while P. leinur Westw. has the third joint only l\/2 as long 

 as the fourth.
