50 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Descriptions of New Genera 



Hathlia mur'ina. 



H. pallide-murina pubescens ; prothorace vix punctato ; elytris 



parce punctatis, pilis elongatis aspersis. 

 Australia Borealis. 



Pubescent, pale yellowish grey ; head with a depressed line 

 between the eyes ; prothorax broadest posteriorly, scarcely punc- 

 tured ; elytra sparingly punctured, with two indistinct lines on 

 each, the sides rather lighter in colour ; under surface and legs 

 dull white ; antennae darker towards the end, and annulated with 

 grey. British Museum. 



Length 5 lines. 



Mr. Thomson proposes to substitute Mycerhms for Hat/dia, 

 which he says has been previously used for a genus of Lamelli- 

 cornes : but Athlla is, I think, the word referred to. The genus 

 has, Iiitherto, been found in Australia in the north only, but it 

 occurs also in India and in Senegal. 



Hathlia procera. 



H. elongata, grisea ; prothorace rugoso, subcylindrico ; elytris 

 parallelis, basi confertim, postice seriatim punctatis, obscure 

 albo-nigroque variegatis, apice truncato ; antennis setaceis, 

 corpore longioribus. 



Ceylon. 



Elongate, greyish ; prothorax subcylindrical, rough, with coarse 

 punctures ; elytra parallel for about three quarters of their length, 

 cylindrical, thickly punctured at the base, the punctures in rows 

 towards the apex, which Is truncate, the surface obscurely varied 

 with black and white, behind the middle a larger patch, principally 

 white predominating ; scutellum transverse ; antennae setaceous, 

 longer than the body. 



Length 6^ lines. 



The habit is somewhat different from the true Halhlicc, and in 

 some respects approaching Ropica. The true distinction between 

 Hal/ilia and A pomecijna appears to be in the antennae, which in the 

 former are setaceous, and as long or longer than the body, whilst 

 in the latter they are very short, and after the first joint of nearly 

 equal thickness throughout, but in neither genus are the species 

 homogeneous. 



Ropica iiicana. 



R. sub-depressa, canescente-tomentosa ; elytris seriatim punc- 

 tatis, singulis plaga fusca, apicem versus^ ornatis. 

 Aru.
