Z. yorkensis, sp. nov. Elongata, subcylindrica ; nigra, elytris et 
(nonnullorum exemplorum) prothorace aliqua ex parte rufis ; 
sat nitida; capite sat elongato, antice minus angustato 
(labro transverso), antice sparsim vix subtiliter (postice 
sparsissime) punctulato, vertice manifeste canaliculato ; 
antennarum articulo 3° quam 2™ circiter duplo longiori ; 
oculis modicis quam 4%. tricoloris magis oblique positis ; 
prothorace quam latiori paullo longiori, antice minus 
angustato, sparsissime punctulato, pone medium _longi- 
tudinaliter breviter canaliculato, utrinque foveolis nonnullis 
plus minusve fortiter impresso, lateribus pone medium sat 
parallelis ante medium antrorsum arcuatim convergentibus, 
angulis anticis nullis; elytris sparsius ieviter minus sub- 
tiliter punctulatis, lineis subelevatis 3 vel 4 vix perspicue 
instructis. Long., 51.; lat., 141. 
A narrow cylindric species near cylindracea, Fairm., but I 
think it can hardly be that species, chiefly because the latter is 
described as having antenne, the second joint of which is 
“ distincte ” shorter than the third, whereas in this species it is — 
not more than half the length of the third (in other species with 
a second joint as short M. Fairemaire uses the term “ multo 
brevior”) - because the prothorax is said to be non canaliculate ; 
because the elytra are described as having three somewhat 
elevated lines, the intervals between which are “sat fortiter 
punctata ” and “ tenuiter rugosula,” with which the elytra of 
this insect by no means correspond ; and because the head is said 
to be “sat dense punctatum,” and impressed in an oblong form 
between the antenne, while in Z. yorkensis the head is sparsely 
(though not very finely) punctulate (very much more sparsely 
than in opaco-rufa, Fairm., with which its author compares 
cylindracea without mentioning a difference in the puncturation 
of the head), and has nothing of the nature of an oblong im- 
pression occupying the space between the bases of the antenne ; 
but that space is somewhat vaguely uneven in its middle part, 
with a short furrow on either side close to the base of the 
antenne. It may be added, moreover, that Z. cylindracea is 
said to be from Richmond R. district, N.S. W., a region certainly 
having very few species in common with the locality of Z. 
yorkensis.

Z. Carpentarie, sp. nov. Angusta, cylindrica; testacea, palpis 
labro mandibulis ad apicem antennis tibiis tarsis et (basi 
excepta) elytris nigro-piceis; sat nitida; capite valde 
elongato sparsim subtilius punctulato, lateribus ante oculos 
sat parallelis (labro leviter transverso) ; antennarum articulo 
3° quam 2° duplo longiori ; oculis sat magnis sat transversis
