16 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera and Species of 



lines or tubercles. In S. catenulata the middle of the pro- 

 thorax and elytra is decidedly flatfish, the latter a pure dense 

 black, and between the glossy lines of tubercles opaque ; tlie 

 punctures, also in double rows, have each a glossy granule at 

 the anterior edge. The prothorax in both species is marked 

 with minute short longitudinal lines, between which the punc- 

 tures are placed, and the lateral margins are jagged or erose 

 at their edges. Dr. Howitt says that this new species is the 

 Victorian representative of S. catenulata^ whose habitat ap- 

 pears to be confined to the Sydney district. My specimens of 

 S. proxima are about 6 lines long ; the older species is larger.

Light reddish brown, subopaque above, with numerous glossy 

 granulations of various sizes ; antennae dark brown ; head 

 finely granulate; prothorax longer than broad, nearly flat, 

 closely covered with small irregular granulations, the margins 

 pale yellowish brown and crenate ; scutellum nearly hidden 

 by the overlapping base of the prothorax ; elytra nearly flat, 

 except towards the apex, where they bend down rather sud- 

 denly, a little wider than the prothorax at the base, the sides 

 subparallel ; the disk with granulations mostly of two sizes, 

 the largest (of a dark amber-colour) forming interrupted lines, 

 of which there are four on each elytron ; between these lines 

 are rows, generally three in number, of small round ones ; 

 body beneath thickly granulated ; legs light reddish brown, 

 femora with a broad yellow ring near the apex ; tarsi slender, 

 filiform. Length 6-h lines. 



A remarkable species, somewhat departhig from the normal 

 form in the longer prothorax and very slender tarsi. Seiro- 

 trana is distinguished from Adelium by its prothorax closely 

 applied to the elytra, and the shortness of the third antennary 

 joint, and from Cori])era by the complete or nearly complete 

 absence of the epipleural fold ; it is barely to be noticed in the 

 above species, being indicated by a very narrow line nearly in 

 the middle of the epipleura.
