XLIII. — New Coleopterous Insects from Queensland. 

 Bj Charles O. Waterhouse. 



LONGICORNIA. 



Prionidae. 



Analophus, gen. nov. 



Mandibles short, convex, curved, furnished on the inner 

 side with a sing-le strong tooth. Head large, convex. An- 

 tenna about half the length of the body ; the first joint short, 

 pear-shaped, the third two thirds the length of the first, but 

 slender, the fifth to eleventh gradually increasing in length. 

 Thorax scarcely broader than the head, transverse, with no 

 lateral margin, only marked by a fine line. Prosternum broad 

 and flat. Legs not spinose ; tarsi short and narrow, the third 

 joint bilobed. 



Closely allied to Mallodon^ from which I have separated it 

 on account of the thorax not being expanded into a lateral 

 ridge. 



Analophus parallelus, sp. n. 



A. elongatus, parallelus, convexus, piceus ; capite magno, convexo, 

 medio canaliculato, discrete fortiter pxmctato, collo subtiliter 

 creberrime punctato, pone oculos fortiter granoso ; thorace Ion-" 

 gitudine i latiore, antice baud profunde emarginato, lateribus 

 parallelis, angulis posticis rotuiadatis, disco nitido parce punctato, 

 medio longitudinaliter impresso, lateribus opacis creberrime sub- 

 tiliter punctulatis, guttis duabus nitidis uotatis ; scutello laevi ; 

 elytris thorace parum latioribus subparallelis, nitidis, basi discrete 

 punctatis, lateribus apiceque rugulosis ; pedibus rufo-piceis, niti- 

 dis, hand spinosis. 



Long. 16 lin., lat. 5^ lin. 



The head and thorax are pitchy black. The thorax has 

 the lateral margin indicated by a fine interrupted line, which 

 terminates at the posterior angles in a slight crenulated ridge. 

 The base has a slight emargination on each side of the scutel- 

 lum. The whole underside is opaque and finely and densely 

 punctured as the sides are above. The abdomen is shining. 



Ilab. Queensland. Brit. Mus. 



Brachytria varia^ sp. n. 



B. nigrcscens ; capite crebre punctato, rufo-flavo ; thorace rufo- 

 flavo, postice angustato, punctis nonnuUis adsperso, disco utrin- 

 que pimcto nigro ; elytris ad apicem fumosis, maculis tribus 

 (ssepe coujunctis) tlavis. 



Long. 7 lin.
