cent re-examination of the specimens of SdtdlU in my col- 

 lection, I find that after all the two names appear to repre- 

 sent two distinct, though closely allied, sjjecies, which can be 

 readily distinguished from each other by the puncturation of 

 the sterna (especially the metasternum), which in florrosus is 

 very close and asperate: while in Leai it is entirely different, 

 the prosternum and mesosternum being almost punctureless, 

 and the m-etasternum being along the median part strongly 

 transversely rugate and elsewhere extremely sparsely punc- 

 tulate. On the dorsal surface there are also evident differ- 

 ences, the pronotum of fforrosus being notably more jninctu- 

 late, and the wnite hairs on the elytra of J.rdt being disposed 

 in perfectly well-defined fascicles. Of flocco'^us I have two 

 examples (one of which is from Sydney, the exact locality of 

 the other uncertain). Of Leai there are three examples in 

 my collection, one of which is from Eichmond River, and two 

 from North Queensland (Mr. R. C. T. Perkins). 



CUKCULlONlDyE. 



TiTINIA. 



T. Iceta, Blackb. Mr. Lea (Tr.R.S.S.A., 1905. p. 219) 

 makes this name synonymous with T. ignaria, Pasc. (sic.j. He 

 is, however, mistaken in this opinion. In the unique type (in 

 my collection) of Ucta, inter alia, the rostrum is very much 

 nari'ower between the insertions of the antennae than in T. 

 ignaria, Pasc. 



LONGICORXES. 

 Paphora. 



The following two species must be referred to this genus, 

 though both very much larger than the type of this genus, 

 very different in colouring, and of much more robust ap- 

 pearance. I cannot, however, find any structural character 

 in them on which to founci a new genus. 



P. pulchra. sp. nov. Robusta : ferruginea, capite postice 

 elytrorum basi et in his fascia postmediana lata chalybeo- 

 nigris ; breviter sparsius pubescens : antennis elytrorum 

 apicem hand vel vix attingentibus, articulo 3" quam 

 basalis vix (4" manifeste) brevioribus, articulis 5'- 9° 

 gradatim longioribus, 10** IP que parum brevioribus; 

 capite longitudinaliter leviter concavo, crebre rugulose 

 punctulato : prothorace ut caput puiictulato, liiiea brevi 

 longitudinali postmediana nitida minus perspicue in- 

 struct©, longiLudine latitudini asquali, lateribus leviter 

 rotundatis : elytris minus crebre (a basi retrorsum grada- 

 tim minus fortiter) vix rugulose punctulatis, ad apicem 

 late rotundatis.
