Maris antennarum clava quam articuli ceteri conjunct! baud 

 breviori ; feminse paullo breviori. Long., 7— 7^ 1. ; lat., 



Allied to the preceding two, but'eaiily distinguishable by the 

 following characters : — The antenn?e nine-jointed, the prothorax 

 (as well as the elytra) clothed with long erect pilosity, the pro- 

 thoracic puncturation consisting of two kinds of punctures inter- 

 mingled (one kind manifestly smaller than the punctures on the 

 prothorax of hispida and non-setiferous, the other kind much 

 larger and setiferous), the sides of the prothorax very manifestly 

 sinuate behind the middle (viewed from above) and evidently 

 more abruptly — indeed almost sub-angularly — dilated behind the 

 middle, and more abruptly declivous (viewed from the side). 



N.S.W. ; all the specimens I have seen are, I believe, from the 

 Sydney district. 



F. aspericollis, sp. nov. Mas. Sat nitida ; f usco-rufescens ; 

 pilis elongatis fimbriata, capite pygidioque pilis erectisvestitis, 

 corpore subtus piloso ; capite antennisque ut F. hispidce ; 

 prothorace fere ut F. hispidce sed creberrime aspere punctu- 

 lato ; elytris magis subtiliter punctulato ; pygidio (exempli 

 typici) longitudinaliter fortiter carinato; cetera ut F. 



Fem. latet. Long., 5J 1. ; lat., 3 1. 



Near F. hispida but with elytra devoid of erect setae (I do not 

 think this is due to abrasion). Very distinct also by the 

 extremely close asperate puncturation of the prothorax and the 

 very evidently liner puncturation of the elytral interstices, as 

 well as by the strongly carinate pygidium, — though I do not find 

 the carination of the pygidium a reliably constant character in 

 all the Australian Lamellico7'nes. 



N.S. Wales ; Armidale ; given to me, I believe, by the late 

 Mr. Ollifi". 



F. sparsicei^s, sp. nov. Mas. Sat nitida ; rufescens ; pilis elon- 

 gatis limbriata, corpore subtus piloso ; capite postice minus 

 fortiter minus crebre baud rugulose (parte media fere laevi), 

 clypeo (hoc minus brevi antice rotundato) magis crebre magis 

 aequaliter, punctulatis; antennis 9-articulatis, clava quam 

 articuli ceteri conjuncti sat longiori ; prothorace sat fortiter 

 transverse, antice fortiter angustato, sparsius (quam F. 

 hispidcB sat minus crebre) punctulato, cetera ut F. Jtispidcd ', 

 scutello sat Isevi ; elytris fere ut F. hispidce sed inters titiis 

 multo minus grosse punctulatis. 

 Fem. latet. Long., 6 1. ; lat. 3 J 1. 



I have seen two males of this species — both in inferior condi- 

 tion and both taken by Mr. Lea near Sydney. The species is at
