58 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 



indigo-blue ; legs black, with the coxae and femora (except at the 

 apex) yellow; meso- and metasterna, abdomen, and antennae black. 

 Length 6 lines. 



This has scarcely the habit of any European Zonitis, and still less 

 of some depressed Australian species, of which the Z. dichroa of Ger- 

 mar may probably be taken as the type. 



Ecelonerus [Anthribidae]. 

 Schonherr, Gen. et Spec. Curcul. torn. v. p. 163 (Supplem.). 



Ecelonerus albojpictus. (PL II. fig. 3.) 

 E. subcylindricus, fuscus nigroque varius, fascia dentata antica et punctis 

 tribus discoideis prothoracis, lunulis duabus magnis maculariformibus, 

 apiceque elytrornm albis. 

 Hab. Australia (Moreton Bay). 



Subcylindrical, pitchy, with a short dark-brown tomentum mixed 

 with black, and blotched with pure white ; head shortly ovate, brown, 

 slightly spotted with white ; protborax subrotund, very convex, thickly 

 punctured, dark brown, with an irregular, toothed, white, band-like 

 mark on its anterior margin ; scutellum very small, white ; elytra punc- 

 tato-striate, the alternate interstices raised and spotted with black, a 

 large white lunate patch, more or less spotted with brown, extending 

 longitudinally on the middle of each elytron, with its convexity 

 towards the suture, and extending externally to its margin, the apex 

 also with a white patch of the same character ; antennae pitchy-brown, 

 slightly hairy ; legs brown, annulated with white ; body beneath didl 

 cinereous, the three middle abdominal segments having on each side an 

 impressed hairy spot ; mesosternum three-lobed posteriorly. Length 

 6 lines. 



\V r ith this fine species of Ecelonerus I also obtained a specimen of 

 Dipieza WaterJwusei, Pasc, hitherto only known from Aru, unless 

 indeed (as I have elsewhere suggested as regards the genus) the 

 (Edecerus* bipunctatus of M. Montrouzier, from Woodlark Island, 

 should be identical, in which case it will probably be found to be 

 very generally distributed in those regions. 



The subjoined is a list of the Australasian Anthribidae, so far, I 

 believe, as they have been described : — 



Ecelonerus subfasciatus, Hope. Sydney, Melbourne, Moreton Bay. 



insularis, Hope. Melbourne. 



albopictus, Pasc. Moreton Bay. 



Cratoparis callosus, Schon. (mini invisus). 



* There is a genus of Galcrucinse bearing this name (although incorrectly 

 written (Edirerus) in Hugel's ' Reise durch Kaschmir.' 1842, p. 556.
