incrassati, art. duobiis basalibus tranaversis, ultinio obconico. 7Vo- 

 thorax transvorsiis, latoraliter iuar<rinatu.s, apice paulo product us, baai 

 ad elytra arctc applicatus, subbi.siiiuiitus. Eh/tra bnivia, parallcla,

 basalibus cnissis, transversis, quarto niinuto, quinto cjcteris simul

 Mesostenium declive, postice bilobatuin. JEpinicra metatlioracic-a pa- 

 rallela, postice truncata. Abdomen seguientis quinque subiequalibus. 

 Corpus fere parallelum. 



The subpontamcroiis tarsi, in the absence of any other striking 

 character, appear to me to indicate the place of this genus to be 

 among the Telmatophilida?, the genera of which are not, however, 

 very obviously connected, except by the above character. 



Cnecosa fulvida. (H. XYIII. fig. 2.) 

 C. oblonga, clare fulva, leviter pubescens ; oculis nigri'^. 

 Hah. New South Wales. 



Oblong, clear fulvous-yellow, with a short, sparse, stifRsh pubescence ; 

 head and prothorax finely punctured, the latter with an impressed line 

 close to its base ; scutellum transverse, slightly contracted at the base ; 

 eMra moderately seriate-punctate, with two rows of miuute punctures 

 between them ; body beneath golden yellow, finely punctured. Leugtli 

 '2h lines.

Apparently very closely allied in habit and characters to llf/jnirus, 

 Westw., but differing from that and all the other genera of Apho- 

 diinoe in the widely separated posterior coxa3. My example was 

 kindly presented to me by W. Wilson Saunders, Esq. ; another is in 

 Mr. Wallace's Collection.
