272 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera 



Differs from A. lusorius in the narrower outline, short third 

 antennal joint, elytra with the apical half blue and their apices 

 obliquely truncate. Apliiorhynchus was proposed by Lacor- 

 daire for the former species, which I had referred to Psilo- 

 morjyha, but which is certainly distinct, on account of its en- 

 tire finely granulated eyes. D. apicalis is another species. 

 Both are from Queensland, not from Western Australia, as 

 Lacordaire has stated. 



SiMOCRTSA. 



(Stenoderin^e.) 



Charactercs ut in ApMorliyncho, sed autennis corpore brevioribus, 

 articulis tertio et sequentibus suba3qaalibus, duobus ultimis quam 

 pra^cedentibus crassioribus ; scapo vix elongate, basin protboracis 



• baud attingente, apice clavato ; femoribus breviusculis. 



The characters of the antennae and the comparatively short 

 femora, the posterior not extending beyond the middle of the 

 second abdominal segment, give this genus a different appear- 

 ance h'om. Aphiorhynchus. From Demomisis it is differentiated 

 by the length of its muzzle and the non-approximation of the 

 antenna? to the eyes. A front view of the head is given on 

 PL XIII. fig. 7. 



Simocrysa discolor. 



S. linearis, capite toto sereo, subtiL'ter pimctulato ; antennis luteis, 

 apicibus articulorum, duobus ultimis totis, nigrescentibus ; pro- 

 thorace subnigro, apice luteo marginato, indistincte punctulato ; 

 scutello suborbiculari, nigro ; elytris augustis, parallelis, obscure 

 luteis, siugulis in medio subnigro vittatis, teuuiter costulatis, 

 inter costulas biseriatim conferte punctatis ; corpore infra luteo, 

 metasteruo abdomineque basi apiceque subnigris ; pedibus luteis, 

 femoribus apice tarsisque iutermediis et posticis nigrescentibus.

Macrones suhclavatus. 



M. capite prothoraceque purpureis, illo crebre punctulato, hoc con- 

 fertissime granulate ; antennis nigro-chalybeatis, articulis 5., 6., 7. 

 et 8., apice excepto, infuscatis, 9., 10., 11. albidis; scutello trian- 

 gulari, nigro ; elytris basi flavescentibus, cseteris subnigris ; ab- 

 domine subcupreo ; pedibus purpureis, violaceo nitentibus. Long.

Like M. acicularis^ this species has the four tubercles on the 

 prothorax much reduced, the two anterior being nearly obsolete. 

 The antennae have the terminal joints manifestly thicker than 

 the preceding ones.
