312 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH. 



legs black, nitid and slightly cinereo-pubescent. Penultimate 

 article of tarsi subbilobed. Antennae short and slender, the 

 joints subtriangular, setose, and of nearly equal length. Palpi 

 serrate, last joint broadly triangular, 



Neither this nor the following species answer exactly to the 

 description given of the maxillary palpi of Selenopalpus, and as 

 far as I can ascertain no other characters have been given to 

 that genus. I have on this account been more particular in my 

 description of the anatomy of the insects, than would have been 

 necessary where the genus was properly defined. 



697. — Selenopalpds Masteesii. n. sp. 

 Length 3 lines. 

 Reddish- brown, opaque, punctate, hairy and cinereo-pubescent. 

 Head broadly triangular, flat on the forehead and largely and 

 roundly angled behind the eyes. ITeck large and convex. Thorax 

 black, subtransverse, subcordiform and covered with whitish hairs. 

 Elytra coarsely punctate and densely cinereo-pubescent, the 

 white pubescence scanty in some places, giving thereby the 

 appearance of a large space near the scutellum, and a broad fascia 

 behind the middle, not reaching the suture, of a reddish-brown 

 colour. Under side of body, and legs piceous and subnitid. 

 Penultimate joint of tarsi strongly bilobed. Antenn89 red, 

 longer and more slender than in the last species, and not setose. 

 Maxillary palpi with the last joint of an elongate triangular form. 



698. — Ananca vitticollis. n. sp. 

 Length 4j lines. 

 Black, with the thorax and elytra pale red, the former oblong, 

 a little rounded on the sides, and not broader behind than in 

 front, with a large central black vitta not reaching the apex, 

 Scutellum black. Elytra densely and minutely punctate, opaque, 

 finely pubescent, and tricostate, 



699. — Ananca euficollis. n. sp. 



Length 3 lines. 

 Head black, thinly punctate. Thorax red, elongate, rounded
