366 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-hnown 



Rather narrow, sliining-, dark brownish green varied with brown, 

 with a thin, sparse, gTeyish pile ; head grey, with an impressed line in 

 the middle, and very few pmictures on the vertex and front j eyes pale 

 brown ; antennae slender, longer than the body, the basal haK pale 

 green, the apices reddish yellow, the remainder darker, brownish, or 

 brownish yellow ; prothorax dark green, as long as broad, coarsely 

 punctured, with a smooth median line ; scutellum subquadrate ; elytra 

 subseriate punctate, one or two faintly raised lines on each, but mo!re 

 strongly marked at the base, the apex obliquely truncate, dark green, 

 behind the middle and close to the external margin a large greyish- 

 white spot, surrounded, but particularly along the side, by dark brown, 

 towards the apex paler, with a brownish indefinite patch ; femora and 

 tibiae pale yellowish green, tarsi reddish testaceous ; body beneath 

 glossy chestnut-brown, the sides with a reddish pile. Length 5 lines. 



A very distinct species.

Syllitus Parryi. 



S. fusco-niger, obscurus -, prothorace antice posticeque rufo ; elytris sin- 

 gulis fulvo quadrilineatis, lineis duabus prope suturam conjmictis. 



Hah. Australia. 



Dull brownish black ; head subtriangular, vertex and space between 

 the antennae black, stripe over the eyes and rest of the head pale red- 

 dish, behind the insertion of each antenna a small' tubercle ; prothorax 

 finely punctured, about half as long again as broad, the anterior half 

 cylindrical, the posterior expanding into a mammiform tuber, and there 

 nearly as wide as the elytra, the base contracted, the disk with four 

 tubercles, the two posterior largest, the anterior and posterior margins 

 pale red ; scutellimi convex, rounded, brown ; elytra naiTOw, parallel, 

 each with four pale-yellow, raised, smooth, longitudinal lines, the two 

 towards the suture united near the apex, the third about two-thirds 

 the length of the first, the fom-th marginal, the spaces between the 

 lines punctured ; legs black ; pro- and mesosterna and four anterior 

 coxae red, metasternum and abdomen black, the latter with a silvery 

 pubescence. Length 6 lines. 



This species will be at once distinguished from S. rectus, gram- 

 micus, and deustus, not only by its greater size and more robust form, 

 but by its quadrilineated elytra and dark-brown nearly black pro- 

 thorax. In the fifth volume of the ' Transactions of the Entomo- 

 logical Society,' n. s., I proposed to separate, under the name of 

 Syllitus, those species of Stenoderus with elevated longitudinal lines 

 on the elytra, from the ordinary red and black ones which con- 

 stituted the genus originally. The technical characters which di- 

 stinguish it are perhaps only of secondary importance, as is the case
