A very elongate ere species, easily recognisable by its 
markings and by the sexual characters of the male. 
Victoria. 
As the known Australian species of 7’hallis are now somewhat 
numerous it seems desirable to attempt a tabular statement of 
their distinctive characters. In the following attempt I have 
been obliged to rely upon color and markings more than I could 
wish on account of there being species unknown to me in nature 
the descriptions of which do not contain satisfactory information 
relating to structural characters. In the following table the 
names in italics are of species which I have placed from a study 
of their descriptions merely. 
A. Upper surface glabrous. 
B. Elytra with a pattern of variegated colors. 
C, Elytra black or piceous around the 
scutellum. 
D. Prothorax more or less red. 
E. Margins of prothorax normal. 
F. Prothorax entirely bright red. 
G. A wide flat unpunctured space 
down middle of prothorax ... Vinula, Zr. 
GG. The unpunctured space obsolete 
(i.e., narrow, raised, and much 
abbreviated, at both ends... subvinula, Blackb. 
FF. Prothorax partly black or BIE ONS, 
G. Legs black ... .. compta, Lr. 
GG. Legs red _... femoralis, Llackb. 
EE. Margins of prothorax ‘widely incras- 
sated within the lateral margin ... Macleayi, Blackb. 
DD. Prothorax entirely black. 
E. Prothorax very finely punctulate ... bizonata, Macl. 
EE. Prothorax strongly punctulate ... perplexa, /lackb. 
CC. Elytra without dark coloring round the
