Ao])locnemts guttigera. 



A. anguste oblonga, rufo-picea, supra iiiveo-guttata, infra dense albo- 

 squaraosa ; rostro eloiigato, striola to -punctate, apice latiore, 

 punctato ; elytris apice rotundatis. Long. 4i lin. 



Hah. Victoria ? 



Narrowly oblong, reddish-pitchy, a spot at the base of the 

 prothorax, and others (one a common central) on the elytra, 

 and three or four on the side posteriorly, of snow-white scales ; 

 rostrum as long as the prothorax, striately punctured, the apex 

 broader and simply punctured ; funicle with the first two joints 

 as long* as the next four together ; prothorax longer than broad, 

 rugosely punctured ; scutellura broader behind ; elytra striate- 

 punctate, interstices subtuberculate, apex rounded ; body be- 

 neath covered with white scales ; legs ferruginous, sparingly 

 pubescent. 



The coloration, with the two long basal joints of the funicle, 

 are the principal differential characters of this species. 



Aoplocnemis suturalis. 



A anguste elliptica, fusco-picea, supra vittis tribus albis ornata ; 

 rostro punctato, quam prothorax longiore ; elytris siugulatim aijicu- 

 latis. Long. 3 hu.

 more elliptic, and with comparatively longer legs ; rostrum 

 longer than the prothorax and simply punctured throughout, 

 and scarcely broader at the apex ; funicle with the first two 

 joints as long as the next four together ; prothorax with 

 crowded punctures, the intervals irregularly raised ; elytra 

 substriate-pnnctate, the punctures large and squarish, the inter- 

 stices, except near the suture, raised but not tuberculate, the 

 apex slightly narrowed and rounded at the sides, but each 

 elytron ending in an apiculus.
