No. 5. I have a specimen of a $ insect, from Tas- 

 mania, assimilating considerably to, but much smaller 

 than the $ of L. crenatas, to which Prof. Westwood has 

 assigned the MS. name of L. suhcrenatus, but not being 

 acquainted with the ^ , he does not think it advisable 

 for the present to characterize it. 



Genus Lissapterus, Deyr., n. g. 



" Genus established on the Lissotes Jloivittanus, Westw., 

 characterized by : — 



The antennas, which are entirely destitute of leaflets, 

 these being represented by articulations simply flattened 

 on the whole of their upper and lower surfaces, and of 

 which the villose portion is limited to the extremities, a 

 remarkable character, present only on the terminal arti- 

 culation, which is straightly truncate, and, as it were, 

 abruptly cut off" at its extremity. 



The anterior tibia3, which are considerably produced 

 beyond the insertion of the tarsi into a bidentate process, 

 as in Axoplncyientiis, and some other genei'a oi' Lncaniihr. 



Lastly, the monstrous head and very small eyes, the 

 latter completely divided by the ocular canthus."
