scales of various brown tints, shaded off into each other. The

TRY PHOCHARIA. 
T. Mitchelli, Hope. My note on this sp. (vide supra, p. 56) 
has elicited from Mr. French, the Victorian Colonial Entomolo- 
gist, information that satisfies me of my supposed identification 
of this insect having been founded on a mistake, and that the 
specimen I regarded as 7’. Mitchellc is in reality an example of 
an undescribed species—which accordingly I describe as fol- 
lows :— 
T. Frenchi, sp. nov. WValde elongata; fusco-ferruginea, capite 
prothorace et elytrorum basi piceis, his in parte apicali 
tertia fuscis in parte intermedia sordide testacea (parte 
intermedia irregulariter fascia transversa angusta antracta 
fusca notata); prothorace quam longiori paullo latiori, for- 
titer ruguloso, tuberculis 4 et spatio mediano sub-lanceolato 
instructo, lateribus spina modica acuta vix arcuta armatis, 
elytris crasse punctulatis (antice profunde, retrorsum 
gradatim minus profunde), ad apicem oblique truncatis et 
spinis binis acutis validis armatis ; antennarum articulo 3° 
quam 4"° parum (quam 5" haud) longiori, articulis 3° 4° que 
Spina externa armatis. Long., 201.; lat., 5 1. 
The type is a female, its antennz not quite reaching the apex 
of the elytra.

DIDYMOCANTHA. 
D. nowica, sp. nov. Nitida ; minus sparsim pilosa; nigro fusca ; 
scutello griseo-pubescenti ; antennarum articulis 3° 5° que 
| (apice excepto) 6' que basi, femoribus ad basin, tibiis in 
medio, elytrorum humeris summis, prosterno metasterno et 
abdominis basi, testaceis; prothorace quam longiori vix 
latiori, sat crasse umbilicato-punctulato, 11-tuberculato ; 
elytris sat fortiter (apicem versus magis subtiliter) sat crebre 
punctulatis, obsolete bicostatis, apicibus rotundatis ; femor- 
ibus quam D. oblique, Newm. paullo brevioribus paullo 
minus linearibus; antennis (feminze?) quam corpus paullo 
brevioribus, articulo 3° quam 4" sat longiori quam 5°° vix 
breviort. done; @ 1+. lJat:,, 2:1: 
This species appears to be very near D. brevicollis, Pasc. (from 
W. Australia), which I know only by description, but it is cer-
