2. Ictistygna macleayi, n. sp. 



$. Elongate, narrow, robust, shining, thickly clothed, the legs 

 included, with long, soft, erect cinereous hairs intermixed with 

 scattered decumbent pubescence; black, the elytra with a faint 

 brassy lustre, the antennae in part and the tips of the tarsi ferru- 

 ginous. Head transverse, moderately large, hollowed at the base, 

 densely, confluently punctate, the eyes large, distant, the head well 

 developed behind them; antennae slender, joints 2 and 4-8 sub- 

 equal in length, 3 more elongate [9-11 missing]. Prothorax trans- 

 versely globose, slightly wider than the head, the neck-like anterior 

 portion moderately long, the transverse basal groove deep ; closely 

 impressed with shallow, rounded, umbilicate punctures. Elytra 

 long, narrowing from the base, somewhat produced at the tip; 

 closely impressed with longitudinally confluent, coarse, foveiform 

 punctures, the narrow interspaces almost smooth. Tibiae denticu- 

 late on their outer edge, the intermediate pair curved. 



Length 6-7, breadth If— 2 mm. 



Hob. Queensland (Mus. Brit, and ex coll. F. Bates). 



Two males. About the same size as I. adusta {<$), the 

 prothorax shaped much as in I. laticollis. The shorter 

 and more slender antennae, the more transverse prothorax, 

 the larger and less confluent foveiform punctures on the 

 elytra, and the black legs, separate I. macleayi from the 

 same sex of I. adusta. A longer and more robust insect 

 than /. biformis, with the upper surface more coarsely 

 sculptured. The elytra are relatively narrower at the 

 base than in I. laticollis ; the punctures are a little smaller 

 than in the latter, and here and there confluent as in 

 /. adusta. Egestria hirtipennis, Macl., from Russell River 

 (length 2 lin.), must be an allied form, but it can scarcely 

 be the female of the present species. The Moreton Bay 

 female provisionally referred to /. laticollis has larger and 

 less confluent punctures on the elytra. 



3. Ictistygna fasciata, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, opaque, the elytra somewhat shining, 

 thickly clothed with adpressed pallid pubescence intermixed with 

 long, soft, erect, yellowish and brown hairs; black, the head in 

 front and at the sides rufous, the elytra reddish-brown, the apical 

 half nigro-piceous in $, each with a patch near the suture just below 

 the base and a transverse post-median fascia (widening outwards and 

 not reaching the suture) fuscous in $, the antennae (the extreme tip 

 excepted), palpi and legs testaceous or ferruginous, the femora in
