SCOTINAUGES. 



(HebescciiiJB.) 



Tuhera antennifera mediocria, fronte inter ea triangulariter exca- 

 vata ; fades transversa. Antenn(«{ S ) corpora vix longiores, hand 

 ciliatae ; saqnis brevis, subpyriformis, articiilus seciindus longius- 

 culus, caeteris gradatim brevioribus, OciiU parvi, subteniiiter gi-a- 

 nulati. Proiliorax transversus, ina3qnalis, utrinque dente obtuso 

 armatus. Elytra ampliata, apice divergentia, humeris callosa. 

 Femora linearia ; tihice intermedise extus, versus apicom, ciliata3 ; 

 tarsi breviusculi, articulo ultimo elongato. Mesosternum antice 

 verticale. 



The genus Hehesecis, so well represented in Australia, gives 

 its name to the subfamily which includes, among others, 

 P/iT/xium, Tetradia, Prohatodes^ &c. ; but to none of them 

 does the one before us seem very nearly allied. The short 

 scape scarcely reaching to the prothorax, the linear femora, 

 and the vertical edge of the anterior portion of the meso- 

 sternum, form together a very trenchant diagnosis of the 

 genus. The female is larger and broader, with somewhat 

 shorter antennte. I am indebted for my specimens to Arthur 

 Adams, Esq., Staff-Surgeon, R.N. The name was suggested 

 {in lit.) by M. James Thomson.
