P. longicornis, sp. nov. Lata; modice (mari quam femina minus) 
convexa ; minus nitida; testacea plus minusve rufo-tincta, 
antennis apicem versus mandibulorum apicibus et corporis 
supra puncturis plurimis nigricantibus ; antennis quam cor- 
pus totum tertia (vel minore) parte brevioribus, articulo 3° 
quam 1"* multo longiori; capite prothoraceque acervatim sat 
fortiter (hoc ad latera crasse) punctulatis, interstitiis sat 
leevibus ; prothorace quam longiori paullo plus quam duplo 
latiori (sc. ut 8 ad 33), antice fortiter sinuatim emarginato, 
postice arcuato, lateribus sat arcuatis, angulis anticis mucro- 
natis sed minus acutis posticis fere nullis; elytris margine 
laterali insigni crasso instructis, confuse sat equaliter nec 
crebre punctulatis, puncturis (his in parte ultra-discoidali 
exceptis) nigris, interstitiis basin versus vix manifeste 
apicem versus gradatim magis fortiter elevatis, interstitiis 
alteris levibus alteris puncturas singulas ferentibus, angulis 
humeralibus (a latere visis) vix deorsum directis, margine 
pone humerum laterali vix concavo ; prosterno sat angusto, 
longitudinaliter sulcato. Long., 6$—7 1. ; lat., 5—5y, 1. 
The general color is testaceous with a beautiful pink tone 
overspreading most of the surface. The punctures on the pro- 
thorax are mostly concolorous with the surface, but some are 
black—usually in clusters; the elytral punctures are all black, 
except those on the dilated margin. Among the species (of 
Chapuis’ first group of Paropsis, to which this insect belongs) 
having the upper and under surfaces and legs pallid, this species — 
may be at once known by the well-defined thickened lateral — 
edging of its elytra (which is much stronger than in any other 
Paropsis known to me except P. Waterhouser) and its long 
antenne, which by measurement are fully two-thirds of the 
length of the whole body in the female and a little longer still 
in the male. Its nearest ally, however, is the species that I take — 
to be P. Parryi, Baly. From P. Parryi it departs (according 
to the description of that species) by its very different coloring 
in almost every part (Parryi having underside scutellum and 
most of legs and antennz black, and elytral punctures not black); 
and also differs from the species that I take to be Parryz by its 
much shorter form, greater closeness of the elytral verruce near 
the apex, less rounded-off apex of the humeral angle, &c. 
Victoria; on Hucalypti ; on the higher mountains of the Alpine 
Range. 
P. cerea, sp. nov. Mas. Sat late ovalis; fortiter convexa ; 
minus nitida; tota (mandibulorum apice nigro excepto) 
obscure flava (ut cerea), elytris mox intra marginem dilata- 
tam vix perspicue longitudinaliter infuscatis ; antennis quam 
corporis dimidium vix longioribus, articulo 3° quam 1“ parum
