In this and the followmg species there is a decided curve at 

 the sides of the three intermediate abdominal segments, a 

 character which places them in the " Storeides" of Lacor- 

 daire ; however, thej cannot, in my opinion, be separated from 

 Emplesis. 



Emj)lesis storeoides. 

 E. sat late elliptica, nigra, sixpra sat dense umbrino-squamosa ; capite, 

 antennis rostroque ferrugineis, hoc prothprace longiore, nurlo, 

 nitido, fere impuuctato ; oculis majuscuhs ; funiculi articulo primo 

 manifeste crassiore ; prothorace valde transverso, apice fortiter 

 angustato, utrinque pone apicem modice rotundato ; scutello ovali ; 

 elytris elongato-cordatis, striatis, in medio dimidii basalis nigro- 

 squamosis, postice vagc nigro-maculatis ; corpora infra jjedibusque 

 ferrugineis, sparse albido-squamosis. Long. 2 lin. 



Hah. Queensland (Gayndah). 



Lyb.eba. 

 Rostrum tenuiter cyHndricum, arcuatum, basi paulo compressum ; 

 scrobes submedianae, rectae, fere in medio oculorum currentes. 

 Scajjus ocidum vix attingens ; funuulus 7-aiticulatus, articulo 

 primo elongate, cseteris gradatim brevioribus, obconicis; clava 

 distincta. Oculi subtenuiter granulati, vix approximate Prothorax 

 .subconicus, basi bisinuatus, lobis ocidaribus nulHs. Scutellum 

 oblongum. Ehjtra subcordiformia, convexa. Pectus modice elon- 

 gatum, canaliculatum. Coxce antic£e basi contiguse, intermedia^ 

 distautes ; femora crassa, dcntata ; tihice anticsD et intermedia} 

 rectae, calcarata3, apice (unco oblique armatoe) posticte subilexuosie, 

 versus apicem latiores ; tarsi articulo tertio valde bilobo, qtiarto 

 minuscido. Abdomen segmentis duobus basalibus ampliatis, tribus 

 intermediis lateraliter arcuatis. 



Except in the second abdominal segment, the cm-ve at the 

 sides is veryslightly marked ; still the sutures are not so straight 

 as in Diethusa. The genus is closely allied to Enide ; L. sub- 

 fasciata, indeed, might be taken at first sight for the small 

 variety of E. cestuans ; but the character of the rostrum is 

 essentially different. 



Lybceha sidrfasciata. 

 L. ferruginea,squamis laete ferrugineis, nigro-variis, sat dense vestita ; 

 rostro nudo, subtestaceo, prothorace paulo longiore ; funiculi ar- 

 ticulo primo duobus sequcntibus conjunctim aequali ,; prothorace 

 apice paulo constricto, utrinque rotundato ; elytris striatis, fasciis 

 nigris indeterminatis tribus, ad suturam interruptis, notatis ; 

 corpore infra pedibusque sejunctim griseo-squamosis. Long. 1^ lin.
