cribed by Sir W. Macleay, without any detailed record of such 
characters, as FE. Gerstdckeri; and one that was doubtfully 
referred by Mr. Champion to £#. Grerstdckeri, Macl., likewise 
without a sufficiently detailed description of the antenne to 
enable me to place it in the tabulation confidently. Notes on 
those two will be found below. It should be observed that the 
length of the third and fourth joints of the antennz (mentioned in 
the tabulation) has reference, not to the length of the ramz of those 
joints, but to the length of the basal piece of the joints (from 
which their rami are emitted). 
A. Antenne of male with nine rami. 
B. The third joint of the artennez much longer than fourth. 
C. Eyes widely separated from each other ... pruinosa, Gerst. 
CC. Eyes approximate inter se Zi ..  Meyricki, Blackb. 
BB. The third and fourth joints of antenne sub- 
equal inter se ef rl at 
AA. Antenne of male with eight rami. 
B. The third joint of the antenne _ strongly 
transverse a ba: te ... nervosa, Gerst. 
BB. The third joint of the antennz not transverse minuta, Blackb. 
E. Meyricki, sp. nov. Mas. Picea, prothoracis lateribus elytris 
pedibusque rufescentibus, capite palpis antennisque nigris ; 
minus nitida; confertim subtiliter punctulata; cinereo 
pubescens (lineatim in elytris) ; oculis magnis in fronte sat 
approximatis (interspatio quam antennaruin articuli basalis 
longitudo haud latiori) ; antennarum articulis basali valde 
compresso subtriangulari, 2° minuto transverso, ceteris ramos 
elongatos singulos emittentibus, articuli 3' ramo quam 
ceterorum breviori et a ramo articuli 4' longe remoto;. 
prothorace conico, basi valde bisinuata, lateribus (superne 
visis) vix sinuatis ; elytris postice sat angustatis. Long.,

Resembles Z. nervosa, Gerst., somewhat in the disposition of 
the whitish pubescence on the elytra, but differs from it inter 
alia in the third joint of its antennz emitting a long ramus, and 
in the much narrower interval! between the eyes ; from pruinosa, 
Gerst., it differs by the ramus of the third antennal joint being 
much Jonger, the eyes much more approximate, the elytra striped 
(rather than marbled) with whitish pubescence, &c., from 
Gerstackeri, Macl. (which is practically undescribed) by the 
linear disposition of the elytral pubescence, and no doubt other 
characters ; from H. Gerstdckeri, Champ. ( Macl.), by its striped 
elytra, and probably other characters (Mr. Champion does not 
describe the antenne, eyes, &c., minutely), and from #. minuta, 
- Blackb., by its much larger size, more approximate eyes, head 
more elongate, and much more finely rugulose in front, elytra 
very differently coloured, black mandibles (they are red in 
minuta), &c. It should be noted that the long interval between
