60 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Additions to 



Dicomada rnurina. 

 D. ovata, fusca, squamis argenteis griseo-nebulosis sat disjunctim 

 tecta ; rostro capite fere triplo longiore ; antennis fcrrugineis ; 

 prothorace in medio magis convexo ; scutello nigro ; elyti'is sub- 

 cord atis, fortiter striatis, iuterstitiis squamis in series tries in- 

 structs ; corpore infra dense albo-squamoso. Long. 1^ lin. 



Hob. Champion Bay. 



Readily distinguished by its deep stria? and the disposition 

 of the scales on their interstices. 



Methone. 



Rostrum cylindricum, apice latius ; scrobes medianae, obliqua3, infra 

 oculos currentes. Antennae funiculi articulo basali crassiore, 

 secundo longiusculo, ca?teris brevibus, gradatim crassioribus ; clava 

 ovata. Oculi ovales, tenuiter granulati. Prothorax transversus, 

 basi rotundatus ; lobis ocularibus nullis. Elytra obovata, pro- 

 thorace manifeste latiora. Femora incrassata ; coxa? intermedia? 

 fere contiguae; tibial intermedia? flexuosa?. Abdomen segmentis 

 duobus basalibus ampliatis, suturis tertio quartoque rectis. 



This genus is like Dicomada in habit ; but the abdominal 

 segments are not curved at the sides, the intermediate coxa? 

 are approximate, and the scrobes are oblique ; notwithstanding, 

 I think it should rank close to that genus. 



Methone ornata. 



M. rufo-ferruginea, squamis concoloribus aliisque albidis plagiatim 

 notata ; rostro prothorace duplo longiore, basi subseriatim punc- 

 tulato ; funiculo breviusculo ; prothorace fortiter transverso, in 

 medio minus squamoso, utrinque albo-plagiato ; elytris striato- 

 punctatis, iuterstitiis vix convexis, uniseriatim setosis, singulis 

 plagis magnis duabus, una basali, altera pone medium oblique 

 sita ; corpore infra sat dense opalescenti-squamoso. Long.li bin. 



Hab. King George's Sound. 



Antyllis togata. 



A. rufo-castanea, ad latera albo-squamosa ; rostro prothorace vix 

 longiore, modice robusto ; antennis ferrugineis ; funiculi articulo 

 secundo quam primo multo breviore ; prothorace fusco, sat con- 

 fertim punctato ; elytris striato-punctatis, interstitiis latiusculis, 

 vix convexis; corpore infra leviter albo-squamoso. Long. 1^ lin. 



Hab. Adelaide. 



The coloration of the elytra is variable, the white sometimes 

 forming bands, more or less interrupted, on the disk. The 

 genus is known by its six-jointed funicle.
