1. Egestriomima albilineata. (Plate LXIII, figs. 1, <£; 

 la, genital armature.) 



Egestria albilineata, Carter, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. xxx, 

 p. 189 (1905). 



Hab. New South Wales (Mus. Brit.), Gosford [type 

 in coll. Carter], Clarence River (ex coll. Pascoe). 



A narrow, elongate, shining, bronze-black insect, with 

 the antennae in great part testaceous; thickly clothed 

 above with white or cinereous and blackish-brown, 

 adpressed, pubescence intermixed with long, erect, blackish 

 hairs, the white pubescence on the elytra condensed into a 

 narrow, sharply defined, sutural stripe and an oblique, 

 broader vitta extending from the shoulder to near the 

 apex, the broader stripes usually coalescent with the 

 sutural one posteriorly ; the under surface closely set 

 with long, decumbent, white hairs ; the legs villose. The 

 head is rounded at the sides posteriorly, and broadly 

 depressed in the middle anteriorly. The antennal joints 

 decrease a little in length towards the tip, 11 being about 

 as long as 10. The prothorax is arcuately dilated at the 

 sides before the middle and subcylindrical thence to the 

 base, the fine median groove being usually traceable. 

 The elytra are gradually narrowed from the base in <$, 

 and subparallel in $ ; rather coarsely, confusedly punctate, 

 the interspaces closely, minutely punctulate. The fifth 

 ventral segment is emarginate at the apex in <$, and the 

 penis-sheath is bisagittate (somewhat as in Eurygenius 

 arizonensis, Champ.), when viewed in profile. 



2. Egestriomima fulvipennis, n. sp. 



£. Elongate, narrow, shining, black, the antennae in part and 

 the elytra testaceous; thickly clothed above with long, adpressed, 

 fulvous pubescence, with longer, erect, bristly hairs intermixed, the 

 latter black on the head and prothorax and pallid on the elytra; 

 the long hairs on the under surface whitish, those on the legs in 

 great part fuscous. Head oblong-subquadrate, broadly depressed 

 in the middle anteriorly, with intermixed minute and larger punc- 

 tures; antennae slender [outer joints missing]. Prothorax narrower 

 than the head, elongate, subcylindrical, arcuately dilated at the 

 sides before the middle, punctured like the head, obsoletely canali- 

 culate on the disc. Elytra long, narrowed from the base; rather 

 coarsely, confusedly punctate, the interspaces minutely punctu-
