yellow ground color. The inequalities on the prothorax are 
much like those of P. recurva, Newm., but the prothorax (as 
well as the head) is entirely clothed with close ashy-grey pubes- 
cence (except on the central elongate elevation) which covers 
the tubercles and conceals the puncturation.

STRONGYLURUS. 
S. minor, Blackb. In describing this species (Proc. L. Soe. 
N.S.W., 1893, p. 199) I omitted to remark on the fact that its 
head is shorter than in the other species of Strongylurus. It is 
possible that this may point to its requiring a new generic 
name. Its antennal characters are inconsistent with its being 
placed in any of the known Strongylurid genera having the 
head short. The basal joint of its hind tarsi is longer than in 
most species of Strongylwrus and less flattened beneath, but this 
is a character that S. ceresioides, Pasc., shares with it. For the 
present, at any rate, it seems to me undesirable to separate it 
from Strongylurus. 
NOTOMULCIBER (gen. nov. Laminarum ). 
Caput verticale, fronte transverso-quadrata; oculi emarginati, 
fortiter granulati; antenne (? feminze) quam corpus longiores, 
articulo 1° haud cicatricoso sat brevi (quam 6" fere breviori) 
piriformi, 3° quam 4° fere sesquilongiori, 4° quam sequentes 
longiori, his inter se sat zqualibus ; prothorax transversus, 
postice fortiter bisinuatus, ad latera fortiter tuberculatus ; 
scutellum transversum ; elytra elongata minus convexa, ad 
apicem conjunctim rotundata; pedes mediocres, femoribus 
sat robustis leviter fusiformibus (posticis quam abdomen 
multo brevioribus), tibiis quam tarsi multo longioribus (inter- 
mediis emarginatis), tarsis brevibus depressis ; prosternum 
ante coxas elongatum, pone coxas declive et triangulariter 
dilatatum ; mesosternum antice subverticale (parte subverti- 
cali longitudinaliter carinata); acetabula intermedia extus 
aperta. 
It will be seen from the above characters that this genus is 
structurally allied to Mulciber, differing from it notably in its much 
less strongly emarginate eyes. M. Lacordaire places Mulciber in 
the Homoneides, . Malayan “ Groupe” not previously recorded as 
occurring in Australia. In M. Lacordaire’s tabulation of his 
“second division” of Lamiini [Gen. Col. TX. (2), pp. 413, &e.] 
the insect on which I found this genus would fall into that 
“Groupe.”
