Hob. Champion Bay. 



A fulvous species, with a sort of amber lustre ; the scales, 

 principally confined to the elytra, have a slightly golden tint. 

 It is more like a Gonipterus, but it has a prominent meso- 

 sternum as in Oxyops. 



Syarbis semilineatus. 



S. obovatus, fuscus vel ferrugineus, squamulis albis lineatim con- 

 gestis ornatus ; rostro crasso, sparse albo-squamuloso ; oculis 

 subrotundatis ; funiculo elongato, articulis liberis ; prothorace 

 transversim conico, grosse punctato, vittis quinque, quarum tribus 

 discoidalibus indistinctis, notato ; elytris subcordatis, modice con- 

 vexis, fortiter striato-punctatis, humeris vix productis, lineis 

 quinque bene determinatis, ad basin haud protensis, una suturali, 

 duabus lateralibus, e squamulis albis condensatis, munitis ; corpore 

 infra pedibusque squamulis albis plus minusve tectis. Long. 

 lf-2 lin. 



Hab. Western Australia. 



The well-marked lines on the elytra and sides of the 

 prothorax — the former (except the outer line) not extending 

 more than halfway towards the base — will at once differentiate 

 this apparently common species from its congeners. 



Syarbis nervosus. 



S. oblongus, fuscus, squamulis albis, plerumque sublineatim ad- 

 spersus ; rostro crasso, infra oculos longitudinaliter elevato, in 

 medio sulcato ; oculis eUipticis, minus prominulis ; funiculo 

 crassiusculo ; prothorace subconico, rugoso-punctato, subtrilineato ; 

 scutello elongato ; elytris subobovatis, modice convexis, substriato- 

 punctatis, punctis majusculis, interstitio tertio dimidio anteriore 

 elevato, sutura albo-squamulosis, singulis linea pallida, in medio 

 obliqua,notatis ; corpore infra indumento fuscescente squamulisque 

 albis adspersis munito ; pedibus breviusculis, parce albo-squa- 

 mulosis. Long. 2 lin. 



Hab. Queensland. 



Allied to 8. emarginatus, Roel., also from Queensland, hut 

 differently coloured and the third interstice elevated at the 

 base. Of S. nubihis, Roel., I have specimens from Sydney, 

 Albany, and Champion Bay.
