460 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-hioiun 



ones behind, all arranged in pairs^ the sides riigosely tiiberciilate; elytra 

 with comparatively few tubercles, placed in three irregular rows, the 

 principal tubercle at the shoulder ; body beneath brown ; legs and 

 antennae reddish chestnut ; mesosternum produced anteriorly. Length 

 ■ 2 lines. 



My specimen appears to be a female, but in colour, size, &c. it dif- 

 fers considerably from the above. I received these two species from 

 Mr. MacLeay, but without any special locality. They are I think, 

 most interesting additions to the fauna of that island continent. 



Cerojyria * peregrina. 



C nigra, nitida ; prothorace subtilissime punctato, basi utrinque fortiter 

 impresso ; ely tris striato-punctatis, punctis confertis j tarsis ferru- 

 gineis. 



Hob. Queensland. 



Black, shining ; head finely punctured, clypeus extending to the eyes, 

 truncate in front: antennae with the joints from 4-10 equal, equilat- 

 erally triangular, 11 orbicular ; prothorax minutely punctured, a large 

 fovea on each side at the base 5 elytra punctate-striate, the punctures 

 squarish and very close together, the spaces between the striae finely 

 punctured ; body beneath pitchy j legs glossy black, the tarsi filiform, 

 ferruginous. Length 4| lines. 



Emtpsaea [Trachyscelinae]. 

 Caput subretractum ; clypeus rotundatus ; lahium transversum. Oeuli 

 transversi, prothorace subobtecti. Antenncs mediocres, articulis apice 

 ciliatis, scapo oblongo, art. 2 brevi, 3 obconico et longiore, 4, 5, bre- 

 viter obconicis, 7, 8, 9, 10 transversis, ultimo rotundato. Pal2n maxilhwes 

 robusti, art. ult. ovato, praecedente liaud latiore. MaxilliB lobo interno 

 angusto, hamato. Palpi lahiales parvi, remoti, labii basi externe inserti. 

 Lahium transversum, antice late emarginatum, postice contractum. 

 Mentum transverse quadratum. Prothorax transversus, antice angus- 

 tior, basi truncatus, lateraliter marginatus. Elytra prothorace latiora, 

 brevia, epipleurae angustatae. Tihice trigonatae, calcaratae. Tarsi antici 

 et intermedii art. 2o et 3o dilatatis, postici filiformes. Prosternum 

 postice productum, proc&ssu in fovea excisa mesosterni recepto. Corpus 

 globoso-ovatum, marginibus ciliatum. 



Nearly all the characters of this genus are, in the main, similar 

 to those of Phaleria, except the ciliated margin of the body and the 

 dilated anterior and intermediate tarsi — in the former approaching 

 Trachyscelinaj and Anemia, belonging to the same subfamily, and in 

 the latter the Pedininae. The elytra are finely striated : nine striae 

 may be counted on each ; they are therefore rather widely apart. I
