  corresponding 
  areas 
  is 
  a 
  narrow 
  reddish 
  band. 
  The 
  pro- 
  

   sternum 
  is 
  margined 
  in 
  front, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  lateral 
  sinuate 
  stria 
  

   which 
  passes 
  from 
  the 
  anterior 
  margin, 
  from 
  a 
  point 
  nearly 
  

   behind 
  the 
  eyes, 
  to 
  the 
  coxa?. 
  The 
  ordinary 
  striee 
  between 
  

   the 
  coxae 
  are 
  very 
  faint 
  and 
  gradually 
  diverge 
  from 
  their 
  

   bases.

  I 
  am 
  much 
  indebted 
  to 
  Mons. 
  Antoine 
  Grouvelle 
  for 
  a 
  

   unique 
  example 
  he 
  has 
  received 
  from 
  Adelaide.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  less 
  brilliant 
  than 
  T. 
  festivum, 
  Lewis 
  ; 
  it 
  

   may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  scape 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  having 
  long 
  

   flavous 
  hairs 
  which 
  are 
  very 
  conspicuous. 
  The 
  prosternum 
  

   has 
  a 
  small 
  impression 
  at 
  its 
  base, 
  and 
  the 
  mesosternum 
  is 
  

   very 
  obtusely 
  produced 
  in 
  front.

  Teretriosoma 
  facetum, 
  Lewis. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  has 
  the 
  prosternum 
  covered 
  with 
  large 
  punctures, 
  

   and 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  striated. 
  The 
  mesosternum 
  has 
  similar 
  punc- 
  

   tures, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  not 
  set 
  so 
  closely 
  together, 
  and 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   margin 
  is 
  bordered 
  by 
  a 
  stria. 
  The 
  concave 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  

   pygidium 
  is 
  rugose.

  This 
  memorandum 
  refers 
  to 
  a 
  species 
  about 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  

   miles, 
  Mars. 
  ; 
  but 
  as 
  the 
  description 
  is 
  of 
  no 
  value, 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  

   best 
  to 
  consider 
  the 
  name 
  a 
  manuscript 
  one.
