Closely allied to the last species, and probably may prove a 

 variety of a different sex; the spots on the elytra are not band-like 

 as in the other, and the terminal joints of the antennaj are short. 

 Hab. Australia (Swan River). 



37. Callidium Cucujus, n. s. B.M. 

 C, pallide fuscum, depressum, subtus pallidius ; thorace supra 



lineis tribus latiusculis elevatis glabratis antice coeuntibus ; 

 elytris singulis maculis tribus pallide flavis, duabus primis 

 aliquando convexis et formantibus vittam, tertia apicali. 

 Long. lin. 3f. 



Of a pale brown, depressed, with short hairs, the face behind 

 the upper lip transversely and rather deeply impressed ; third 

 joint of antennae much shorter than the fourth. Thorax gra- 

 dually attenuated behind, punctured, with three widish smooth 

 elevated lines on the back somewhat connected in front, a smooth 

 elevated space on fore margin. Elytra punctured, each with 

 three pale yellow spots, one at the tip, one behind the base, and 

 one about the middle ; these two latter are sometimes connected, 

 when they form a longitudinal vitta, widest behind. Legs and 

 under side palish yellow. 

 Hab. S. Australia. 



38. Callidium catoxanthum, n. s. B.M. 

 C. supra depressum, punctatum, unicolor, fuscum, subtus flavum ; 



pedibus fiavis ; thorace lineis tribus elevatis glabratis. 

 Long. lin. 4. 



This is so closely allied to the Cucujus, that at first sight it 

 may be taken for a variety ; it is larger, of a uniform brown 

 above, with three raised smooth lines on the back somewhat 

 connected in front ; the legs and under side are yellow. 

 Hab. Australia. 



39. Callidium ? erosum. 



C. nigrum ; capite punctato, ore testaceo ; antennis apice fuscis ; 

 thorace tomentoso, punctato. vel potius punctis confluentibus 

 eroso, disco rufo, medio subtuberculato ; elytris acuminatis, 

 apice deflexis, lineis duabus elevatis, interstitiis punctis confer- 

 tissimis pulcherrime erosis, sutura margineque rufis, corpore 

 subtus pedibusque tomentosis. 



Var. fi. Majus; capite rufo, antennis fuscis, elytris rufis litura inter 

 lineas duas elevatas solum nigricante, pedibus nigro-piceis. 



Callidium erosum, Macleay, App. King's Survey, ii. 450.
