A very handsome species from Port Dein'son. It comes very 

 near to the description of F. rubricolUs from the Cape of Good 

 Hope, but diifers inter alia in its ferruginous head. I have named 

 it after the locahty in which it was captured ; and am not sorry to 

 have so good a reason for connecting it with the late Governor 

 General of N.S.W., who took so lively an interest in all branches 

 of Natural History. 



Sp. 10. F. speciosus. 



Piceo-ferrugineus, creberrime punctatus, pubescens setis longi- 

 oribus paucis, capite nigro ; thorace antice rotundato 

 longitrorsum canaliculate ; elytris convexis nigro-brunneis 

 quatuor maculis elongatis transversis notatis. 



Long. .18.

This fine species appears to approach to the description of F. 

 aulicus, from India. It is, however, readily distinguished from 

 that species by the longitudinal division of the thorax, in which 

 it approaches F. agilis and F. canaliculatus. The maculae on 

 the elytra are marked by silvery setse. A single specimen in 

 Mrs. Kreusler's collection kindly lent me by her for description. 



Sp. 11. F. qnadiiinaculatus. 



Ferruginous, subnitidus, pubescens, antennis gracilibus; thorace 

 antice rotundato postice contracto elytris maculis quatuor 

 transversis albidis, femoribus parum incrassatis. 



Long. .15. 



Gawler ; South Australia ; collected by Mrs. Kreusler, and by 

 Mr. Masters. 



This species also comes very near F. aulicus. It has not the 

 marks on the head peculiar to that species ; and the antennas are 

 more slender than the description of those organs of the Indian 

 species. The spots on the elytra are transverse rather than 

 oblique. It is easily distinguished from F. speciosus by its smaller 

 size, and its thorax not canaliculate. It appears to be common.
