34 Mr. W. L. Distant’s Rhynchotal Notes. 
Sextius bucephalus, sp. n. 
Pronotum greenish ochraceous ; face and legs dark ochra- 
ceous; tegmina greenish ochraceous, the apical half more 
hyaline and reflecting the ochraceous abdomen beneath; 
pronotum somewhat coarsely punctate, the anterior lateral 
processes very robust, a little forwardly and upwardly 
directed, their apices obtusely acute, centrally longitudinally 
carinate, the posterior process: very robust and faintly 
tricarinate, its apex reaching or slightly passing the tegminal 
apices ; apical areas of the tegmina reticulate. 
Long. 6-7 mm.; exp. ant. eoaet process. 3-35 mm. 
Hab. New South Wales, Sydney (J. J. Walker) 
A number of other specimens are in the British Museum 
simply labelled ‘‘ Australia.” Differs from S. virescens, 
Fairm., by the more robust and obtuse anterior pronotal 
processes and the robust posterior process reaching. or 
passing the tegminal apices ; from S. depressus, Goding, it 1s 
to be distinguished by tie strong anterior pronotal processes 
being distinctly obliquely upwardly directed. 
Sextius reticulatus, sp. n. 
Body and legs ochraceous; face, a transverse fascia 
between and including the anterior margins of the lateral 
pronotal processes, and the femora (excluding apices) black ; 
pronotum thickly, rather coarsely punctate, the lateral pro- 
cesses very short, robust, and straightly directed outwardly, 
finely centrally carinate, the posterior process robust, faintly 
tricarinate, its apex not reaching the tegminal apices ; 
tegmina with nearly the apical half subhyaline and strongly 
reticulately veined; the legs and pronotal margin before 
face are more darkly ochraceous than the upper surface. 
Long., incl. tegm., 65 mm.; exp. lat. pronot. process. 
+ mm. 
Hab. Australia; N.W. coast (Surg. J. Bynoe, R.N.). 
The type of this species was presented to the British 
Museum in 1844, and is to be structurally identified by the 
short lateral processes, the robust posterior pronotal process, 
and the strongly reticulate tegmina; the colour-markings 
are also very pronounced. 
Seatius major, sp. 0. 
Body and legs pale testaceous ; tegmina subhyaline, with 
the venation reddish ochraceous ; pronotum thickly pune- 
tate, the lateral processes short, their apices obsoletely
