212 Mr. Francis P. Pascoe on CurcuUonidoe. 



grisescenti-squarauloso ; peclibus validis, breviusculis, 

 feraoribus (pra3sertim posticis) dente magno triangulari 

 armatis, tibiis brevibus, compressis; intus bisinuatis. 



Long. 4^ lin. 



Hah. — Victoria. 



The habit of this insect is more like that of some 

 species of IleiUpus than of any of the eighty odd species 

 of Alcides now before rae. It differs from most of them 

 in the thickness of the posterior femora and the large 

 size of the tooth, as well as in the absence of the median 

 lobe of the prothorax, and is the first of its genus that 

 has been described from Australia; but I have another, 

 I believe from Cape York, which I am unable to distin- 

 guish from the Indian A. hufo, Fab.

Note. — The specimen from which the figure of Ampagia erinacea was 

 made is, I find, more abraded than I had .supposed when it was placed 

 in Mr. Robinson's hands ; it should have been, therefore, made to look 

 much rougher. In regard to Euithius capucinus, the head is not seen 

 from above, and the figure is so far incorrect.
