Longicornia of Australia and Tasmania. 185 
breviori; antennis (g‘) quam corpore paullo longioribus, (¢) cor- 
pori longitudine zqualibus. Long. 8—9°5 mm. 
Hab. Cassini in West Australia (Walker). 
This species is scarcely to be distinguished from the preceding 
except by the greater length of the antenne. These are in the 
male distinctly longer than the body, and in the female reach quite 
up to, or even slightly beyond, the apex of the elytra. The first 
costa of each elytron is almost equidistant from the suture through- 
out the whole of its length, it approaches it slightly, but almost 
imperceptibly, near the middle; the second costa, however, dis- 
tinctly bends outwards near the middle, and, posteriorly, it is 
continued beyond the first costa, and is directed towards the 
sutural side of the apex. 
38. Syllitus sp. ? 
In a specimen taken by Mr. Walker at Roebuck Bay, 
the antenne are so damaged that is impossible to form 
an opinion as to their relative length ; in coloration the 
Specimen agrees with those from Cassini, just described, 
but it may be distinguished from them by the stronger 
divergence of the two discal cost of each elytron 
towards the middle of their length; not only does the 
outer costa distinctly bend outwards, but the inner one 
also is decidedly deflexed towards the suture, which it 
closely approaches. The intervening space of each 
elytron between the most divergent portion of the cost 
is marked by an incipient rounded spot caused by a 
difference in the punctuation and the greater trans- 
parency of the elytron at this point. This character is 
much more strongly pronounced in an example from 
Queensland in the British Museum collection. In this 
example, which probably represents a distinct species, 
the two cost of each elytron are very strongly bent 
away from one another near the middle, and in the 
space between there is a very distinct rounded white 
spot. These forms cannot, however, be satisfactorily 
characterised as new species until fresh specimens are 
seen.
