There is a second specimen of this species in the British 

 Museum, taken by the ornithologist, Gould, at the same 

 time as the Oxford example. 



Phaenognatha angusta, sp. n. 



Testaceo-rufa, elytiorum diraidio posteriore nigro ; corpus sat 

 angustum, fulvo-hirtum, clypei medio cornu biciispidato armato, 

 protliorace qiiam elytris paulo latiori, antice late fossato et fulvo- 

 hirto, elytris sat longis, valde attenuatis, dorso profunde geminato- 

 striatis, striis punctatis interstitiis alternis latis, irregulariter 

 punctatis, tarsis posticis longissimis, subtus sat dense liirsutis, 

 unguibus minutis. 



Long. 14'5-16 mm. Lat. max. 8 mm. 



Hah. N. Queensland. 



This species has been confused with P. Erichsoni in the 

 British Museum and other collections. It differs from it 

 in the following particulars. It is narrower in shape, and 

 the black patch is restricted to the hinder half of the 

 elytj'a. The cephalic horn is placed at a distance fiom the 

 margin of the clypeus, and is narrow, parallel-sided and 

 two-cusped at the end. 



Phaenognatha tristis, sp. n. 



Nigra, nitida, corpore paulo elongato, subtus dense falvo-liirto, 

 clypeo prope marginem anticum cornu recurvato, sat lato, apice 

 acuminato, armato ; prothorace lato, antice late retuso et fulvo- 

 hirsuto ; elytris postice valde attenuatis, profunde geminato-striatis, 

 interstitiis alternis latis, omnino irregulariter crebre punctatis ; 

 tarsis posticis longissimis, sat dense fulvo-pubescentibus, pilis 

 decurabentibus, unguibus minutissimis. 



Long. 17-19 mm. Lat. max. 9-10 mm. 



Hah. N. Queensland : Mein. 



This is the largest species I have seen of the genus. 

 In addition to its size and dark colour, it differs from 

 P. Erichsoni, which it most resembles, by its elytra being 

 more produced behind. The hind tarsi are very long and 

 thickly hairy. As in P. Erichsoni, the cephalic horn is 

 produced to a point and the elytral striae are very distinctly 

 paired, with the intervening spaces broad and strongly 

 punctured.
