392 Major T. Broun on new Genera and 



Head witli granular sculpture, dilated and elevated OA'cr 

 the antennal cavities. Tlwrax transverse, with broadly 

 explanate sides ; the anterior angles project to the front of 

 the eyes ; near the middle each side is so perforated as to 

 indicate two lobes, the hinder one ahbreviated, so as to be 

 distant from the shoulder outside, but its inner termination 

 forms a distinct posterior angle; the disk has two elongate 

 prominences projecting over the head, and two nodosities 

 behind which are almost continuous with the frontal ones; 

 the interval appears to be a broad channel. Elytra as wide 

 as the thorax, their margins apparently serrate, the sides and 

 apex nearly vertical ; di>k rather flat but uneven, at the base 

 there are two curvate ridges extending backwards nearly to 

 the middle, apparently with granules on their summits ; a 

 little further back, on each elytron, near the side a straight 

 granulated elevation is seen, and theie are two nodosities 

 near the suture on the top of the declivity; on a small 

 denuded space the suture is sharply defined, and there are 

 two rather broad longitudinal lines which cannot be termed 

 distinct flattened granules or punctures ; tlie sides, near the 

 margins, bear two series of granules; the shoulders project 

 slightly, but there is an obvious gap between each of these 

 and the thoracic lobes. 



Tibia straight, externally serrate and finely setose. 

 Antennde sparingly pubescent, basal joint stout, scarcely 

 visible from above ; second also stout, longer than broad ; 

 third more slender, nearly as long as the fourth and fifth 

 combined : joints 6—8 small and moniliform ; ninth broader 

 than the preceding one ; tenth large and transverse, at least 

 twice the width of the ninth ; eleventh also large and some- 

 "what rounded. 



Underside fuscous, covered with sappy matter, the ventral 

 segments gradually and slightly decrease in length, with 

 straight deep sutures. Prosternum widely incurved in front, 

 subtruncate in Ulonotus and Recyntiis. Metasternum short, 

 much more so than in Ulonotus. Scutellum large. 



Length 2 ; breadth 1 line. 



Southland. Two from Mr. A, Philpott; and one from 

 ]\Ir, J. H. Lewis, numbered 5237, so caked with dried sap 

 and dirt that its sculpture cannot be discerned. 



Symphysius lobifer, sp. n. 



Oblong, fuscous, covered with sappy matter, with bright 

 yellow setae ; tibiae piceous, tarsi chestnut-red. 



Head immersed up to the eyes, finely granulate, forehead
