This insect was obtained from a collection made in the vicinity of 

 Sydney.

The above insect was purchased out of a New Holland box, 

 along with various nondescripts ; most likely they were from Hobart 

 Town.

This beautifully sericeous insect is named in honour of William 

 Sharpe MacLeay, Esq., from whom we may shortly expect some 

 valuable communications relating to the entomology of Australia. 



This genus appears to differ chiefly from Trachelorachys in having 

 both the sexes remarkably characterized by their incrassated femora ; 

 and it is probable that, as in other New Holland Stenochoridous ge- 

 nera, the length of the antennae will vary in the sexes. 



Meropachys tristis. Merop. favo-fuscus antennis tomentosis, 

 thorace aurato lanugine obsito. Elytra depressa, minutis jnistu- 

 lis lineari serie insignitis. Corpus infra rubro-jnceum sericie 



* Meropachys is from /nr,Qot;,fci>iur, and voi^vc, crassifics.
