and thin, third also thin but larger than second, fourth short 

 obconic, fifth, sixth, seventh and ?ight joints much thicker and 

 somewhat square or moniliform, the remaining joints filiform. 

 Thorax broader than the length, truncate in front and at the base, 

 rounded at the anterior angles where it is rather narrower than at 

 the posterior, the latter slightly obtuse. Elytra much broader than 

 the thorax. Legs robust, fourth joint of the tarsi strongly 

 bilobed.

sp. 



Length 4^ lines. 

 Pitchy I'ed, of a lighter hue on the head, sides and centre of 

 thorax, legs and underside of body. The head and thorax are 

 almost smooth or very remotely and finely punctured, the latter 

 is broadly margined, more especially towards the posterior angles 

 which are recurved. The median line is pretty well marked, and 

 on each lateral margin there are two setigerous punctures, one 

 at the widest part of the thorax which is almost the centre, the 

 other very near the posterior angles. The elytra are striated, 

 the striee are closely and finely punctured, and the interstices are 

 broad and rather flat. 



I am somewhat puzzled as to the position of this insect, it is 

 so unlike any of the Lebiidce hitherto described, but that its 

 effinity is to that Family, and as I think to no other is nearly 

 certain. Mr. Masters brought one specimen only from Ga3'n- 

 dah, but I find that I had previously received a few specimens 

 from other portions of Queensland. 



EuLEBiA. n. gen. 



Head oval, scarcely narrower behind than in front of the eyes. 

 Mentum with an apparently small median tooth. Palpi cylindri- 

 cal and rather blunted at the apex. Mandibles strong, short, 

 slightl}- arcuated at the tip. Labum square, truncated at the apex. 

 Labium almost corneous, slightly rounded in front. Antennae 

 rather short, nearly filiform, the joints from the fourth to the 

 ninth rather thicker. Thorax much broader than the length, not
