the absence of the reflcxetl spinous tubercle on the shoulder 

 which characterizes tliat species. 



Deuteromma. 



Antennae setaceous, twice as long as the body, the joints nearly 

 equal, except the two first, which are shortest ; eyes four ; palpi 

 short ; prothorax depressed, rounded at the sides and slightly 

 toothed, constricted behind ; elytra parallel, depressed ; legs long, 

 the femora and tibiae compressed. 



In the species described below, the coxae, particuhjrly of the 

 intermediate legs, are unusually large and placed so apart, that 

 the insertion of the femora can be almost seen from above ; these 

 femora, too, in one sex at least, are remarkably bent and attenu- 

 ated at their base. There is another species, but the only two 

 specimens I have seen are very imperfect. 



Deuteromma callidioides. (PI. XXIII. fig. 6.) 



D. testaceo-brunnea ; elytris fuscescentibus pube cinereo tectis ; 

 oculis nigris. Borneo. 



Head, prothorax and antennae yellowish brown ; elytra black- 

 ish brown (except a very small part of the base, which is the same

Length 4 lines. 



Didymocantlia thoracica. 



D. testaceo-brunnea ; prothorace fusco rugoso, maculis albo- 

 lanuginosis ornato ; elytris apiculatis punctatis, punctis setu- 

 liferis, maculd irregulari post-median4 margineque posticali 

 fuscis. Australia [Moreton Bay]. 

 Head and prothorax brown, the latter roughly tuberculate, with 

 a broad oblique stripe of white woolly hairs on each side, and an 

 oblong spot at the base ; scutellum white ; elytra punctured, very 

 roughly on the upper half, an erect setulose hair arising from the 

 base of each puncture, testaceous-brown ; an irregular post-median 

 spot, and tiie posterior third, bordered with dark brown, the suture 

 ending in a sharp projecting spine ; legs with the apices of the 

 femora black ; under surface somewhat glossy, with a white spot
