25. Gutasarcus spinipennis. 



Fahraeus^ in Schonh. Curcul. v. 817. 



I have only been able to find one specimen to which I 

 think the following of Fahreeus's characters will apply — 

 " fronte depressa^ rugosa, griseo-squamosa, vix carinata," 

 as to the sides of the prothorax " pone medium fere paral- 

 lelis/' and as to the elytra " striis in disco flexuosis ;" 

 all the rest are characters either common to many species, 

 or which may be expected to vary. 



26. Catasarcus hrevicollis. 



Oblong oval, glossy black, mostly covered with grayish- 

 white scales; head flat in front, three well-marked grooves 

 above, the outermost bounded by a slender carina between 

 the eye and the transverse sulcus, the eyes oblong, some- 

 what prominent; prothorax short, gradually broader to- 

 wards the base, where it is twice or more as broad as 

 long, granulately tuberculate above, the anterior trans- 

 verse groove and sides densely covered with whitish 

 scales ; scutellum indistinct ; elytra sulcate-punctate, the 

 intervals tuberculiform, and more glossy and prominent 

 towards the base, the shoulders with a short tubercle, 

 otherwise scarcely projecting beyond the prothorax, post- 

 humeral spine stout, black, median and posterior glossy 

 reddish-brown, stoutly conical, clothed with a few scat- 

 tered black bristles ; body beneath, mostly covered with 

 yellowish-gray scales ; legs ferruginous, with small dis- 

 persed scales, those on the femora hair-like ; antennse 

 slender, ferruginous, scaly, the club blackish, pubescent, 

 funicle with the second joint much longer than the third. 



Length 5 lines. 



Hah. — Champion Bay. 



The outline of this species is more elliptic or oval than 

 ovate, partly owing to the breadth of the prothorax near 

 the base. 



27. Ca tasa reus marginisinnis . 



Shortly ovate, pitchy, covered with approximate pale 

 ashy scales ; head broad and moderately convex in front, 

 everywhere closely scaly, many of the scales fawn- 

 coloured, with black recurved seta3 at intervals, no
