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



mencing at the scutellum, and extending downwards and outwards 

 to the side as far as the middle, hut drawing up a little as it approaches 

 the suture ; legs slender, sparsely clothed with long stiffish hairs, tarsi 

 and lower part of the tibiae pale ferruginous ; sterna and abdomen pitchy 

 black; anterior coxse very large, contiguous, and greatly exserted. 

 Length 3| lines. 

 A single specimen in Mr. AVaterhouse's collection. 



Zoedia divisa. (PI. XYII. f. 1.) 



A. rufo-fulva, sericeo-pubescens ; elytris pone medium, fenioribusque, 

 basi exceptis, infuscatis, illis medio litura curvata pilosa instruct i.>. 



Hub. Australia (Kangaroo Island). 



Reddish fulvous, covered with a pale silky or silvery pile ; head 

 rather expanded below the eye, canaliculate between the antennae, 

 which are unicolorous and about as long as the body ; eyes slightly 

 emarginate, dark brown ; mandibles black at the apex ; prothorax 

 scarcely longer than broad, swelling out at the middle into an obtuse 

 knob ; scutelluni small, triangular, brown ; elytra wider than the pro- 

 thorax, slightly incurved at the side, the apical third brownish grey or 

 pale fuliginous, above which is a darker patch or band, which becomes 

 gradually paler towards the suture, from the side at about the middle 

 a curved line of dark thickly set hairs ascends inwards and upwards, 

 terminating at a distance from the base equalling its own length, and 

 bordered posteriorly by another line of pale yellow ; legs dull fulvous, 

 the femora brownish grey, except at the base ; body beneath black. 

 Length 4 lines. 



A single specimen in Mr. Bakewell's collection. 



Mesolita [Cerambycidae]. 



Head quadrate. Antennae setaceous, longer than the body, distant at the 

 base, the first joint short, clavate, the third longest, the rest gradually 

 shorter. Palpi slender, terminal joint of the maxillary ovate. Eyes 

 small, lateral, reniform, widely apart in front. Prothorax ovate, 

 convex. Elytra obovate, swelling out posteriorly, without humeral 

 angles, not larger-than the prothorax at the base, the apex divaricate, 

 acute. Pro- and mesosterna simple, continuous (i. e. without opposing 

 faces). Legs of moderate length ; femora clavate ; tarsi gradually 

 dilated to the third joint, the basal as long as the two following, except 

 in the anterior pair. 



The absence of humeral angles and the exact apposition of the 

 prothorax to the elytra are the most striking characters of this 

 genus. In these respects it resembles the Dorcadion group among 

 the Lamiidaj ; but its affinity appears to be with Tilhmorpha , 

 Euderces, &c, and therefore allied to Ch/tas.
